[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you lost me when you essentially said one of your kids didn't fit into play-based preschool (not daycare, despite what you repeatedly said) because he's smart. Also, circle time is all of 15 minutes. You act as though it's the whole day. It's not a problem to ask kids to sit still for 15 minutes while they do some circle time activities. [/quote] I actually agree with PP. My daughter was too “smart” for play-based preschool as well. She knew everything they were teaching (shapes, colors, animals, numbers, letters - we didn’t drill her but she slurped them up from books and songs) so she got annoyed having to repeat them and being herded around. She’s much happier in Montessori where she can progress at her own speed. Only trouble is now we have to keep sending to private school to let her progress! My feeling is play-based is similar to public school, for the lowest common denominator (the masses).[/quote]
