[quote=Anonymous]Hi, I am looking for full day preschools for my daughter in/very close to Herndon. I have visited 15 preschools and have one more to look at (Innovative Preschool -Hopkins House).

Unfortunately, I haven't seen a lot of teacher/child interaction at many of the preschools I have visited. I have seen a lot of children in free play with teachers sitting in chairs watching them in silence. I have scheduled all of my tours between 9:30 - 11 am to avoid visiting during down times like lunch and nap time and was surprised that more interaction was not taking place during my visits.

I know that free play/down time/nap time will be part of any program, but it is important to me to see a lot of teacher/child interaction (ie teachers on the floor talking to and helping children, structured and play based learning, and teacher guidance).

I'm narrowing down my list of preschools and am wondering if anyone has current/very recent experiences to share about:
-Herndon Children's Center
-Simon Center
-Gardner School
-Innovative Preschool Hopkins House (haven't seen it yet).
