[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any opinions on whether there is a difference in elementary school in terms of outdoor/recess time? Or class size??[/quote]

Class size is on the MCPS at a glance site, but I don’t think there is anything comparable for DCPS.

I wish I knew more about the ethos of outdoor time. I heard a rumor that kiddos in MCPS got 2 hours recess, but who knows. I know my PreK kid goes out for recess one time, for 30 minutes, and in aftercare they often don’t go out at all. SMDH[/quote]

This is school-by-school but there's no way any school has a two hour recess. Some principals prioritize outdoor time for the younger kids and arrange the schedule to get two recesses on most days, but I don't think it's a common model. However, our school's care provider seemed to spend a lot of time outside, so it ended up being enough for my kid if I signed them up for beforecare so they could run around before school, then have recess, then after school we'd stick around on the playground for a bit.
