Kidville: Classes, indoor play space, and more for 0-5: What do you think?

HI All:This is a little off topic, but what the heck....We have a Kidville here in my local area. I am very curious about the word on the street about the offerings and the quality of the interactions. It looks pretty fantastic for stay-at-home parents (note, I said parents, not mothers) but I wonder if the quality is as great as the environment appears. Your thoughts?http://www.kidville.com/Rockville/home/default.asp See More

My impatience, and my passion for advancing the field of early education drove me to start this group. You see, I've been in the field for more than 25 years, and I feel caught in a time warp. It seems to me that we are still working on the same issues we faced… Continue
