[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done both. I prefer my PK4 at a JKLM. They seem to be learning more math and they get chances to show how responsible they can be, like walking the attendance sheet to the office, that they don't do in our preschool.[/quote] And we stayed with private preschool in CCDC instead of accepting a spot at Murch because we wanted our 4 year old to have another year of primarily play with no academics. A major difference between most private *preschools* (not daycares with some curriculum ) and dcps is that the preschools don't have m-f, all day long attendance, 9-3ish. For example, DS went 9:30 to 1 four days a week in preK [/quote] Do you plan to send him to Murch next year? I thought PK was unnecessary and that they were pushing kids too far, UNTIL i saw how much is expected of them in K. My child would have been way behind had he not had some academics at Murch last year. I will grant you I still think it's BS to push our kids so hard in P-K and K but it's the way it is now. [/quote]
