29 schools all in the same room from local co-ops (where you work in the school) to drop-off. Religious affiliations from presbyterian(1) to Lutheran (1) to catholic(3) to jewish (2).
International schools with bilingual ed programs including English/German and English/Chineese and English/French. (can I get a local English/Spanish shout out?)
Part-time to Full-time with prices ranging $260/mo (part time co-op) to $1750/mo (full time drop off)
And ahhh the Philosophy of the school question....I feel like I need to BACK TO SCHOOL just to figure it out. One mom posted a summary I wish I could re-post here - stupid blogger doesn't allow you to copy/paste!
(a) Child Cares & PreSchools
(b) Academic Based (pre-math, pre-reading, & language skills)
(c) Constructivist ("active learners" and construct meaning through play)
(d) Co-op ( Kinder prep, social & self help skills)
(e) Developmental/Play-Based
(f) Montessori (Maria Montessori, child directed and teacher modeling)
(g) Preschool Curriculum fo rthe 21st Century (Dr. Lucia French, Univ of Rochester)
(h) Reggio Emilia (can't quite understand it!)
(i) Waldorf (Steiner, approaches learning through imitation and example)
Also looking (again) at Bob joggers online today...been searching for a used one but the right start has them at 20% off. Having fun playing on "which bob is right for you?" :-)
