[quote=Anonymous]We have been at Appletree Lincoln Park for the past two years for PS3 and PK4, and we have loved it.  We got waitlisted everywhere else for PS3 but looking back, we count ourselves lucky or we wouldn't have chosen Appletree back then.  The program is pretty incredible -- my daughter was reading (basic) at the end of PS3 and is learning things at a really advanced pace.  She was reading fluently by the fall of PK4.  Her vocabulary is amazing. This weekend, she conducted a survey at home of which planets our family liked best (Mars won but Jupiter and Venus came close) --when I asked her why Pluto wasn't on her list she informed me it was no longer a planet but a dwarf planet.  They are currently studying palentology -- last night she asked me if I was an omnivore, herbivore, or carnivore.  The teachers are great, and we have been very happy with their after care program.  To respond to some, yes, there are a lot of days off on the calendar for various reasons and my husband and I both work full-time but we've learned to plan ahead looking at the calendar with babysitters, taking a day off, etc to make it work, it's been worth it.  We are now waiting and praying like everyone else to get her a good Kindergarten placement so yes, that's stressful but we're very happy we kept her there for two years given how much she learned and how much confidence she gained.
