[quote=Anonymous]I went to the open house in SE and OK Ave. I was impressed with the presenters at both campuses-I guess they may have been at AppleTree a while and knew the answers. The flow of potential parents was also good. There were only three other parents that took the tour with me. The small group made a difference. Class size and teacher ratio is a plus and serious academics at three is needed. Children get opportunities to play and learn simultaneously; however, they need to learn that school is serious work and if we set the bar high now, then they will perform at that expectation. The children did not seem to be stressing over repetition. Some did look like they were just following the commands but hey whatever works and I have friends whose children are doing exceptionally well in elementary school. I like the shared data-not just with parents but with schools our children may attend. Those partnerships early on are needed so children can get their educational needs met-regardless of an IEP status.[/quote]
