[quote=Anonymous]The big difference at the K level is that the curriculum is much more developmentally appropriate for young children. Specifically, at our Big-3, my 4 year old has nearly 2 full hours of gross motor activity--about 1.5 hours outdoors and 3 minutes of PE four days a week. Also, she has 40 minutes to eat lunch, separately from recess. (I HATE when schools basically force kids to choose between recess and lunch.) Also, there is no homework until third grade; music and art are offered daily; and the children learn from a dedicated science teacher and a dedicated math specialist starting in PK. Finally, the teachers and administration respond to our emails within 24 hours (except on the weekends, of course).[/quote]
