[quote=Anonymous]The coffee hour programs have included a presentation by the teachers on new techniques and theories learned at the naeyc conference, a panel on independent schools to consider after Little Folks, a presentation and discussion on disaster preparedness at the school, and more.  And yes, they do also offer another opportunity to meet the other parents at the school.  Part of building a strong community.

There's an awful lot of evidence-based data that shows that young children learn best through hands-on experience and play.  But since you asked for empirical evidence (though the word can mean evidence-based, it is usually used to refer to observation-based), here it is: my kids are happy, well-adjusted, and eager learners who love school.

So the school that's worthy of your kids has less play and more academics- fine.  And you are welcome to be skeptical.  I was too.  But play-based does not equal lack of coherent approach.  The LF director takes and incorporates aspects of all different types of curricula in her strategy.  She has always provided an evidence-based rationale for every new strategy or approach I've seen them use.[/quote]
