[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised multiple people are recommending Tinkergarten. Maybe our local instructor is lousy but we did a trial class and it was AWFUL. We sat for 10m circle times multiple times—for the boring story to kick things off and then to discuss experiences after. Parents had to verbally participate with insights, the actual activities—while structured so kids could do their own thing—were way too long. I’ve never been so bored and desperate to get out of a toddler activity and it’s only made worse by the fact that it’s outside rain or shine. [b]I decided I’d much rather wander through a park on my own schedule with my toddler than pay $20 a class for us to wander on someone else’s agenda.[/b] [/quote]

Exactly this.  Take your kid to the park!  Let her explore.  She has lots of time in her life to sit in circle time, a not-even-2-year-old does not *need* to learn how to sit nicely at circle time.[/quote]

I admittedly was one of those people and retract based on your statement! I probably shouldn't have mentioned it because we haven't been, but the other poster had and I thought another mom told me it was focused on unstructured play/creativity/exploration. I HAVE attended free forest school and definitely think it would be appropriate and fun for ops kid if it's helpful for her own day to have some "structured" activities aka a place to be somewhere and have interaction with other parents/kids.[/quote]
