[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child stayed at BH for PK3 and learned so much more there than her old BH friends did in DCPS. Was taught to write their name and phonics for all of their letters. The convenience of having to scramble for after or back up care was also a perk. I also think the emotional support they can provide at BH was essential at that young age. They let kids be kids while teaching them. I don’t think we’d get that at DCPS. [/quote]

FWIW, so OP knows, they do all of this ^ in DCPS.

There are pluses and minuses to either decision. But I do not want OP to think that somehow kids don't learn how to read/write in DCPS pre-k, or that they aren't received social/emotional support. Phonics, writing, and social emotional learning are the key components of most DCPS preschool programs. [/quote]

Not every one. I have a friend who has been very unhappy their kid isn’t learning anything new in DCPS prek because they are spending more time teaching the kids who never had daycare group social skills their kid already knows. [/quote]
