[quote=Anonymous]My kid goes here and we are going to bring my son when he turns 2. So, we've liked the school.

The good: It is extremely flexible and one of the few daycares in old town that will let you start with a shorter schedule (T-TH or MWF). It was nice to have that flexibility before I ramped up to work full time.  It's also not a bad operation in terms of what my kid is learning. We've had the same two main teachers the entire time my kid was there (although there was some turnover with aftercare - one teacher had a baby and another is pregnant, but I've liked all of the after care teachers. They are sweet ladies. Also, I enjoy the fact that the specials come directly to the school. My kid did soccer and dance and we didn't have to lose a weekend for the activity (it was all done in aftercare). My kid went from being a small 2 to older 3 and I can see how the school does a good job in differentiating how they work with the littles and bigs. They do a lot of activities with the kids in the neighborhood like arranging for firefighters to visit to teach about fire safety and a field trip to the trader's joes (in the same building).

The bad: You have to pack a lunch. Snack week sneaks up on you. Parking can be hairy. There's no outdoor space, but they do walks in the neighborhood and go to two different playgrounds when the weather's nice. They do a lot of picnics on the waterfront as well with the kids when the weather is nice. I really like that. So, if you prefer an attached play space, you might not like the school.[/quote]
