[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak to the motessori or waldorf experience, but i can speak to the fact that worksheets are not remotely the norm for any preschools. We were at 2 different schools, and toured several others, and everything we looked at seemed to be "play based" these days - which really just means an absolutely normal, appropriate setting for 3 years olds. If your kid is reporting that there is a lot of worksheets, i would first check with the school if this is actually true. Based on even our experiences with K and 1st grade, i have a hard time imagining any preschool setting, no matter how "academically rigorous" spending more than 20 minutes a day on work sheets. I'd make sure your child is a reliable narrator on this point. If it's true that they spend this much time on worksheets, i would pull out and just go to any other well regarded play based school.
