[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't help with the other questions, but I know about aftercare. My CP student is in "Club Rochambeau" activities four afternoons a week and we are happy with it. I think there were 2 options per age group on just about every day, so some degree of choice based on interests. There's also the option of supervised study hall (with someone helping with homework) or garderie, which seems to mean they hang out in the library reading or playing games. We haven't used the former but my kid likes the latter on days when the regular activity is not taking place.

Bethesda Country Day is an option for aftercare for the preschool students, and may be for primaire as well, but you'd have to ask. They ride the shuttle bus to the Forest Rd campus and get dropped off at BCDS (next door). We did this for part of last year. I don't love BCDS, but another option to consider. I think BCDS also allows for a later pickup than activities at Rochambeau.[/quote]

OP here--thanks so much for chiming in re: aftercare.  What would you say are the most popular options for aftercare for CP students?  She currently does a lot of classes in aftercare (yoga, robotics, etc.).  However, if we move her to LR, I'm thinking that at least initially perhaps some downtime might be good (garderie?), since she may be more tired than usual with all-day immersion for the first time.

We actually live pretty close to the Rollingwood campus, so will pick up there.  However, since it seems like aftercare ends at 5:30, I'd to adjust my work schedule when it's my turn for pickup..[/quote]

I don't know how the numbers compare (although some activities do fill to capacity soon after enrollment opens), and the selection varies from year to year, but the options for first grade this year include soccer, judo, Arabic, painting, theater, crafts, sculpture, and science experiments. They also spend 25 minutes on the playground between the end of class and the start of clubs. The clubs (at least what we've tried) are not intense at all, but I agree that quiet downtime may be called for at the end of a full day in a new environment.

Good luck deciding![/quote]
