I don't have any advice, biut wow, I do share your frustration. I often feel like I'm on an endless search for activities and so many of them are really average. Dd is only now old enough to qualify for school age programs and I was looking forward to them being much better than the preschool things she has been doing (plus I've been doing what I can to bump up the age groups she's with) and really, they're no better. She gets disappointed too. So much coloring in or pre-cut slot together bits and pieces!
