[quote=Anonymous]I'm 9:46. I agree that they don't get outside enough. We are at Columbia Heights so have the itty bitty (controversial) playground on site, and then the 4yos go down the street sometimes to the DPR playground. But they've only gotten to go out maybe once or twice since December because of the weather--so they do lots and lots of those dance parties inside to get their wiggles out.

They definitely get to be kids. DS comes home covered in paint, glitter, stickers, etc., with some regularity. There's a lot of independent time in the centers, and when I pick him up they are usually sitting around a table together building stuff with monkey links or blocks, totally on their own. He likes to come home and show off stuff he's learned. (Lately he's been teaching me all the things he knows about the planets.)

My one gripe is that the parent community feels lacking, since there aren't any evening events and they didn't circulate parent contact info. I've tried to connect with some parents I see on a regular basis but we haven't seen any of the kids outside of school all year. I suspect that's part of the school being preschool-only, and the director has been receptive to my comments on that.[/quote]
