[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but the Y program is not an extension of IT's philosophy or teaching methodology. That is why we will not attend the summer camp and are only somewhat satisfied with aftercare.

The Y hires nice people, loving towards their students, but who don't have the level of engagement or training with early childhood education that is desirable. Very uneven. Also unhappy with excessive use of timeouts instead of redirection or, perhaps, anticipating kids behavior.

Fwiw, the school has a "hotel" for cellphones brought in by kids during the school day. This should be replicated for  Y staff as well so that they can be reunited at the end of their shift.

I've seen the Y staff on the playground after school and they could not be less engaged with the kids.  Not impressed.[/quote]

Couldn't disagree more. Y staff appear to be very engaged IMO. [/quote]

Have you watched them on the playground?  I have and regularly see kids throwing stones, kids getting hurt, kids behaving aggressively toward classmates and others on the playground and other poor behavior due to lack of supervision.  All while the Y staff sit on a bench looking bored.[/quote]
