[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the meridian PS program academic like Appletree's? Or more play-based?[/quote] I don't know much about Apple Tree. Can you provide some details about their curriculum and then I can respond?[/quote] Thanks! The knock on Appletree (which some people might find a positive) is that it's very focused on literacy, math skills, etc. I'm not a parent there, and from the website, it does look like they have time for free play etc. (See http://www.appletreeinstitute.org/every-child-ready/current-products/daily-schedule/#.UVHGc1c9ZyU). They do have homework, but not every night (maybe one sheet a week, from what I've been able to gather). But I think it is not nearly as play oriented as some of the programs out there, particularly the Tools of the Mind curriculum used in many DC public schools. I'm curious what the typical day for a Meridian PS and PK child looks like. Any info is appreciated! Thanks![/quote]
