[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It don't understand why anyone would pay for "kindergarten prep" at kindercare. In our FCPS school there is nothing to prepare for. If a kid is able recognize letters and numbers, to speak clearly, get along with others, follow easy directions and hold a pencil, I would consider them prepared. No need for academic prep. What a load of hooey.[/quote] To clarify, at Kindercare Clarendon, the exposure to letters and numbers is done through Phonics and Math classes (which each cost an additional $125/mo). The only kids who get this exposure are the ones who sign up and they are pulled out from the bigger class for 30 minutes each day. So the recognition of letters and numbers that you reference above will not necessarily happen outside of the paid supplemental classes. This is what PP meant by "kindergarten prep"- nothing fancy or particularly academic, but as you note this is an important building block for starting Kindergarten. [/quote]
