[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't do this at 3 or 4, but starting at kindergarten, our strategy for keeping our weekday schedule sane AND delivering the activities we wanted was to keep them home-based as much as possible.  We have two language teachers come to the house twice a week plus a music teacher once a week.  It's actually very convenient and cuts down on the family stress.  It also replicates the age-old education models for the UMC households when tutors came to the child instead of the other way.[/quote]

Wasn’t it hard for your child to stay focused on language practice with all of his toys and books around?  And don’t siblings interfere?  I thought about having a music teacher come to the house, but it just sounds chaotic.  I can totally imagine my six year old trying to sit at the piano while meanwhile my eight and nine year olds go tearing through the living room playing tag, and my four year old trying to play on the other end of the piano. 
I would rather just go to the conservatory and camp out there for the evening while everyone takes lessons.  [/quote]

No, we set them up in the living room with no distractions around. The teachers come after school when no siblings are around, but even if they were, believe me, I'd have them contained elsewhere.  It would be, like, for an hour you are not allowed into the living room.  It's not an imposition to do something else for an hour. Besides, your six-year old would have to figure out a way to practice at the piano, wouldn't he, with or without siblings. We just don't want to waste time driving to and fro. [/quote]
