[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]

They should definitely be working on all these things in DCPS PK; and if they're not your friends' parents should complain to their school. That's pretty basic stuff. 
Our DCPS PK program has kids writing out observations/outcomes for basic science experiments, latin class and doing simple math problems, letters/numbers/names should be a given for PK if the school is even partially competent.

I would probably agree with you that BH was more lovey/emotionally supportive, so if your kid benefits from that, by all means. I don't think the academic argument has too much merit though, unless they experienced a particularly terrible program or something.[/quote]
