[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I mean time to play with the toys in the room like dress up it kitchen etc. I am sure some of the academic oriented activities / centers may be fun but that is not free play. And I do not mean recess since that is really a very different kind of play from indoor play with toys. [/quote]

I've done public and private with my kids and I've never seen this. In fact. Never saw it in any of the privates I toured two years ago when I was deciding on schools for my now first grader. This is really preschool and maybe a little Pre k level activities. [/quote]

NP. My child is in a non-DC private (though a highly regarded and academically strong one) and the last hour of their day is child directed free play time - I think it's wonderful and developmentally appropriate.  I believe there may be a drama / dress up area, but there are also lots of puzzles and games (I believe the teacher will help kids learn the rules if they are interested) as well as art projects.  According to the 3 kids I carpool it is the best part of the day.[/quote]
