[quote=Anonymous]One of my children started at St Patricks in the nursery program abnd is now in the upper school.  Another child started in K, having come from a very highly regarded and sought after preschool in Georgtown.  I think the St Patricks' nursery program is better.  In particular, what I liked was, in part, attributable to having access to the resources of a larger school but still being separate and secluded from the older students.

The playground is exceptional: large psaces, lots of age-appropriate equipement and structures for creative play.  Very close to the nursery school doors.

The children have sepearate teachers for music and science and PE, which is wonderful.  It helps them learn to transition in a very mild way (teachers ciome to them) that should help with the greater transitions of K.

There is a nice mix of play based learning and more structured learning.  My child was an advanced reader and that was accomodated with ease but with absolutely no "fanfare."

the teachers are very warm and nuturing but the children are truly learning, and not just social skills.  One of my favorite thinsg they do every year is hatch and raise baby chicks.  Great experience for the children.

Overall, I thought the St Pats Nursery and PK program was more well rounded and inclusive of children at different stages of developemnt that the much lauded, pure preschool my other child attended.  [/quote]
