[quote=Anonymous]I get you, OP. We are at a HRCS and I do wish that the curriculum at PK3 was more "academic." My child happens to be one of the older ones in PK3, so there is also that. As previous posters indicated, much of the focus has been on social interactions and emotional development. However, I was really excited to learn about the kids' recent engineering projects. They built boats and made hypotheses about how many toy animals would fit on them before the boat sank. For me (not an education or child development expert) this seems like is a good introduction to basic science and math. It would be great to see a bit more emphasis on writing and reading as well. Our child learned to read at home and it would be nice to see more of that at school. However, in speaking with early education experts I've also heard the refrain that this is not developmentally appropriate at age 3-4, so the focus is on "pre-literacy" skills at this level. [/quote]
