[quote=Anonymous]Former parent here (older kid aged out, younger switched to make drop-offs doable). I really cannot say enough good things about my kids' experiences at Winchester, and my experience as a parent. I thought it was a nice mix of learning and play - every classroom has toys, and every class involved both learning time and free play. In addition, there is a long recess, and a lot of outdoor and indoor free play time at aftercare.

My kids both learned to read in the 3 year old room, not because they drill reading, but they do learn phonics. Letter sounds, letter combinations, that sort of thing. I don't know that it is the best method ever, but it did work for my kids. In the 3 year old room, the "academic" part of the day is 9-12, and that includes playtime, outdoor time, snack time...the rest of the day is lunch, recess, nap, and then aftercare.

I've read these boards long enough to know that this is not necessarily the environment for everyone. Both of my kids still talk very fondly of their time at Winchester, and if it went past 2nd grade, I am about 95% sure they would still be there.[/quote]
