[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the Murch parent who wrote in above: What do you mean that CLS has "no board"? No transparency? Won't they ultimately need to meet the demands of their customers (parents)? They are contracting with parents. [/quote]

Yes and most parents don't stay.  It really is good for young kids who are well behaved and don't need a lot of time outside -- and for parents with the resources to pay for it.  All fine for a small secondary provider.  At Murch the other program -- which suffers from many of the same issues as it sounds like affected LAP -- has a volunteer parent board and is much better at flexibility, inclusion, at accommodating a diverse set of kids, at providing healthy snacks at making sure all the kids get outdoor exercise and at resolving issues that arise.  The issue is not whether CLS is good now -- it is.  The issue is whether it can possibly expand this fast and actually serve that many kids and what recourse do parents have when it can't -- apparently none.[/quote]
