This morning I took Isaac to "school". We were there from about 9am - 11am. The kids played in a classroom setting. There was a doll house, play house, cars and trains, dinosaurs and animals, blocks and puzzles, arts and crafts, a couple bins of sand, books, magnets, and a computer station, The first part of the morning, the kids are allowed to roam around to activity stations they're interested in. Isaac spent a majority of his time playing with the doll house (it was the main thing he kept going back to), though he did explore around the room and tried most of the other activities. At 10:15am, the kids get to go to the gym to play with balls and scooters. As soon as we got to the gym, Isaac wanted to leave. After a little bit, he seemed to get used to the room and stared at the fan for a bit. The rest of the time he spent throwing a ball and running around. After gym time, everyone washed their hands and we headed back to the classroom for a snack. The kids were given a cup of water and bits of cookies, cut up grapes, and a couple of frosted cereal. Isaac tried some of the cereal and drank the water. He fed me the grapes and cookies, and G finished off Isaac's cereal for us.
The structure of this program feels the same as how the Richmond Family Place runs its drop-in programs. It's good for Isaac to see other kids, but I don't know if I'll go back to another session. We have classes scheduled for April - so I think we'll stick to that for now.
