[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say this with kindness OP, since you appear to be a new parent: all independent K-3s in MoCo and NWDC near you will offer a whole lot of outdoor play and creative, hands-on, project-based learning. All of them. Every single one. Concord, Primary Day, Green Acres, Sheridan, Lowell, Beauvoir, GDS, Sidwell, Sandy Spring Friends, Bullis, St. Pat's, Norwood, NPS, Maret, and Washington Waldorf. [/quote] They will all *say* they have those things. Not every school is strong in all of those. I would look to the Progressive Education schools on this list that aren't far from Bethesda: Sheridan, Lowell, Green Acrew.[/quote] No, I stand by what I said. I have a bias toward Sheridan myself, as a parent of recent alum. But progressive K-8s don’t have a lockout on outside and free play at the earliest grades. Even soul-killing Sidwell for example has tons of minutes of outside time for the littlest kids. [/quote]
