The babysitter took him to Kumin twice a week where he learned to sit and do written work for 15-30 minutes. Then he had “homework” the other 5 days. He was totally prepared for K. We spent the days at the park, museum, library, hiking, gymnastics and other fun sports activities.
Thank you! Glad I am not alone here!! That’s a big concern for me - not enough play for him. That just seems so wrong for this age. Was it a lot of sitting and learning with very little recess? I barely know anything about Pk4 in DC. We just did pK3 but it was only 30 mins a day twice a week, virtual.
