[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you know why? They are easier. It is so much easier to fill 30  minutes with nice, neat, quiet worksheets (with just one worker supervising while the other one gets a break or whatever) then messy painting (the hassle! the clean up!), playdoh (gets everywhere! now you gotta vacuum), free time at the playground or walking to the park (now the workers have to go outside and its drizzling/hot/cold), elaborate pretend play areas (someone has to be creative enough to set them up, and then ya gotta clean it up).

Academic work is easier on the staff.

You're being completely ridiculous. Your high-schoolgirl experience in daycares is completely irrelevant to our preschool, where every teacher has a 4-year degree.  They do everything you mention and more, painting, playdoh, art project every day, playground, science, music, pretend play, field trips, travel stories, yoga, seasonal performances, what have you. I get that you think my son *ought not* be able to read and love it, and you're entitled to your opinion but not your own stories.  I'll take a full waitlist and tons of happy parents and kids over your high-school memories. [/quote]
