[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH this element is one big reason we are in the suburbs. So many even well regarded DC preschools have no dedicated playground. A couple (SFF, NCRC) do but there’s no guarantee of a spot there. Our suburban preschool has two playgrounds and a huge indoor gym for rainy/snowy days. [/quote]

Not OP but I don't think a preschool that stays inside for rainy and snowy days would be considered to have a strong emphasis on outdoor play.[/quote]

And you’d be wrong. Our preschool drops off at a nature center once a week to spend the whole day outside. The only cancellation is when there’s high wind or temps below 45. We eat lunch in a tarp on the ground and pee in portapotties. Outdoor play doesn’t get cancelled because orvrain. [/quote]

Sorry! Meant first poster above was wrong. Agree with immediate pp. [/quote]

Temps below 45! That's crazy. It hasn't been above 45 degrees here since probably early November. What are the preschool's reasons for the 45 degree cutoff?[/quote]

It’s a judgement call. Sunny no wind and 35-40 is fine. Damp windy and 45 is not. They are out there from 9-1240 with no inside shelter. That’s a long time for a 3 year old. [/quote]
