[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What type of curriculum is this? It is called developmentally inappropriate curriculum.[/quote] +1 Speaking as the mother of a child in Kindergarten -- why wouldn't you let your child stay in a fun, playful environment for as long as possible? Kids learn through play. A 3.5 year old should NOT be doing worksheets, learning to read and write in a structured environment. My kindergartener attended a play-based preschool that did teach developmentally appropriate things (how to write her name, the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make, numbers, colors, shapes, cutting, not to mention social skills, and other things kids will need like standing in line, following directions, etc., and is thriving in Kindergarten. My current 3.5 year old is at the same school and is already trying to read (older sibling's influence, and I say trying, because she's not making THAT much progress, lol). Please don't do this to your child.[/quote]
