[quote=Anonymous]I can speak a bit to Karasik.  We've been there about a year now, and my son is three.  They run a curriculum during the "school" year and then do more of a summer camp type program in the summer, with lots of learning but more fun things brought in. My son gets to ride a pony today, for instance.  The kids are always out at least twice a day, and there's a gym available during bad weather.

We use it for a full day of daycare, but the schedule is set up that more formal curriculum starts around the time of normal preschool hours (I think 9?) with more semi-structured playtime at the beginning and end of the day for kids in daycare.

The whole vibe of the place is just wonderful--friendly teachers and staff.  Some of the parents organize happy hours throughout the year to get to know other families.  There are also fund-raisers to help cover the special activities during the summer time.  Karasik is part of Arc of Montgomery County, so the program includes kids with an array of health issues, with extra staff and support for that to run smoothly (at least it does from our perspective).

We have twice a year parent-teacher conferences to talk about our child's development and set goals, which is helpful to us to see in more detail where we might support our son in certain areas.  Every child of every age gets those meetings.

Having been in two other daycares before, Karasik has been the best for us--and our son loves it too.[/quote]
