[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went to a Reggio-inspired preschool, is currently in K in DCPS, and is doing great academically. It's been a bit more of a struggle in terms of social-emotional expectations, but I don't think the preschool environment is to blame. K in DCPS is very intensely academic (at least at our school) and I don't think any preschool environment would be able to adequately prepare a kid for that, plus my kid is on the younger end for the year. I mean, what's the answer, a highly academic preschool? No thank you, I don't want my 3/4 year old drilling letters and numbers all day. I want them playing, exploring, singing, dancing, and having fun.[/quote] +1. My DS went to a Reggio-inspired preschool, has a summer birthday and went to K on time, and now scoring 98th percentile on all his in-school testing, very advanced math skills, avid independent reader at age 6 etc. granted he is bright, but Reggio gave him a very solid foundation, from which he picked up phonics and reading fast at the start of K.[/quote]
