[quote=Anonymous]OP,
When you arrive during the time range, they get your info and call you back when ready, like at the dr.  Atleast, at my school they did.  Each k teacher had a group of 4-5 that they rated on a clipboard in 5 areas.  While the kid is back there for the 15 minutes or so, parents could tour through the other open classrooms and get paperwork.  At a friend's school, the parents could go in an observe, but at ours they waited outside.

At one kindergarten we attended, they watched a rated G movie everytime there was indoor recess.  At a different kindergarten we attended, there was just free play time in the classroom, and unfortunately the teacher didn't get the break/planning time they otherwise would have gotten since they opted to keep the kids in their own class rather than mess up the other classrooms.

One thing that also varies by kindergarten is snacktime.  Sometimes there's no snacktime.  Sometimes each kid brings a snack daily.  Sometimes a parent provides a snack for the whole class once every so often.  
Another thing that varies is homework.  Some have a daily thing, some have very minimal/one weekly.[/quote]
