Have you seen PBS's new show, Sid, the Science Kid? Snickerdoodle and I have watched part of it a couple of times. I liked it well enough, but one thing sure jumped out at me. Sid's classroom, which I presume is either kindergarten or preschool, is a spacious room equipped with everything one could dream of in an early childhood classroom. There appeared to be a space for active play and supplies for every kind of center you could wish. A classroom that any mother could be glad her child could attend.
And how many students were in this idyllic setting? Four. A four-to-one child-teacher ratio! Who couldn't love that? I think that if you can find a setting like this, you should probably go for it! Hmm. I wonder how I could find a place that would allow my children to learn in a small class size setting with a caring and engaged teacher? Wait, wait! I think I have it! ;)
