[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am never on this site. I don't live anywhere near DC, but I teach early childhood education to college students and I observe in LOTS of preschools including the Lab School on our campus. Teachers should be treating outdoor time as teachable curriculum time. They should be interacting with children not only for safety purposes but to encourage physical development and social development as well as language and literacy skills. The time should be loosely planned with teachers bringing different materials and activities to the playground. As always, not every preschooler will be interested in doing the same thing at the same time. That is to be expected. But there should be planned, intentional experiences for children indoors and outdoors.[/quote]

As a parent, I hope not.  My 4 year old is scheduled from morning until evening with "development activities". She is school at 3, she is taking immersion language, she is in yoga and swim classes, and now her school is doing dance classes in aftercare.  For fuck sakes, leave free play alone.[/quote]
