[quote=Anonymous]DC has been in two play based pre-k programs. I thought each was good, but frankly, not sure how to measure "how" good. DC likes/d school, has made friends, enjoys the activities, is generally happy. But I can't point to any specific outcomes - writing letters, writing name, etc. I know the point of the purposeful play is to avoid those types of outcomes just for the sake of being able to do them (thought the bit in the article about not being able to count pennies was spot on), but without those outcomes, how do I really know how much DC is progressing and as an extension, how "good" the programs really are. It seems like the benefits of purposeful play are realized as the child get older.[/quote]
