[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you're looking for a progressive school. You'll find hands on learning, less stress and more play time (kids learn through play). The curriculum is developmentally appropriate, meeting children where they are, rather than forcing them to reach inappropriate benchmarks. There are many in the area: Sheridan, Green Acres, Lowell to start. Our private has plenty of recess, incorporates the outdoors into lessons on a regular basis, includes more PE, art and music. Classes are also much smaller. No homework. In terms of academics, all the kids end up in the same place by middle school whether in MCPS or private (basing this on my many school tours). My son is at a local progressive now, but wasn't for K. All of my kids attended MCPS K. When I see what they're doing at our private, I deeply regret that my kids didn't attend in the early years. Unfortunately, we just couldn't afford it. [/quote]
