DD (7 tomorrow
) has loved the 2 she went to. They are so interesting and hands on that she finds them amazing. In fact, they are so good that we can pretty much be guaranteed a bad week a school after one becasue she realizes, on some level, how bad things are at her school right now.
We asked her last month why she liked it so much and she said that the teacher is great and rather than making them just do worksheets they actually teach her things that she doesn't know yet.
We too drive a bit over an hour to get there, so it makes it an early morning start, but it is worth it for us because since her school situation isn't too good right now, it is the only time she gets to be with other gt kids and feels like they understand her and that don't think she is just wierd.
