[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was at the school for 2 years and my son is currently in the 2s room.  The school definitely has a play based centers approach to child development which is what drew me to it (that and the huge playground !).  The kids have 2 circle times a day but the vast majority of their time is spent exploring their world...painting, building, pretend play, etc.  Math skills are learned by measuring while baking, playing games where the kids line up shortest to tallest or by birthday, etc.  There are no workbooks or paper and pencil structured learning if that is what you are looking for.

That being said my daughter knew how to take turns, walk in a line, follow directions, sit during circle time....which is really what she needed entering K.  She also is reading above grade level and is pulled for math enrichment......

Yes the school is loud and can be a little crazy (as my son came home covered green today from playing in colored shaving cream)  but overall I have always been happy with the care my kids have been given and my daughter was more than ready for K.[/quote]
