[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me give you some advice as the parent of a first grader.  After six weeks of Kindergarten you have no clue whether the school is right for your child.  [/quote]

I'm inclined to agree with you but I also have to agree with OP.

After my child attended public pk last year, my child's experience in private is completely different so far. I anticipated that it might be a little different but it feels like a huge transformation.

DC loves school and is eager to go every day.Confidence is up, anxiety is down, and there is an outpouring of excited chatter about learning that was not there before. I'm no longer hearing about how the teachers dealt with the students who were misbehaving or out of control, I'm hearing about the thematic learning project. I didn't expect my child to embrace this year with so much joy.

DC adores having art, music, pe, etc multiple days a week and adores the teachers and the learning.

Talking with staff, I'm hearing opposite things from what I heard last year. Crying rarely instead of every day, risk taking, taking on leadership roles instead of only following.

I know this might not be the school for my child through 5/6/8/12 but it is the right school for my child now.
