[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The focus on academics is what worries me about Appletree. Studies show that play based programs are very effective at giving preschoolers the skills they will need to be academically successful in ES. I am not looking for my child to be taught reading before K--just don't think it will lead to long-term better outcomes (as PP noted), possibly at the expense of other skills I would like her to develop, whih ply-based programs are really good at.[/quote] That's a legitimate worry. And I think Appletree is really up front about their model, which is not going to be for everyone.[/quote] I'm the pp with the concern you quoted. And I totally agree--AT is totally up front about what they offer, and if is what you are looking for, then it sounds like it is a fantastic program. I just am not sure it would be best for my daughter. I really appreciate how up-front AT is about its model.[/quote]
