Nope, the kids didn't seem overly happy. She said that they can't get out "at this time of day" due to the sun but that the yard "get's plenty of shade from the other buildings". I'm waiting for someone from head office to do their follow-up call and I will tell her exactly what DH and I thought of the centre ...oops, I mean campus.

DS2 comes home from his centre absolutely filthy. He's covered in dirt, sand, paint, food.... you name it! The kids all run inside when they arrive and then drag their parents around the yard in the afternoon to show them what they're doing. The differences are just astounding.

I'm trying to look into who the parent company is as their website is rather limited. On the whole, it looks fabulous. The pre-preschool and preschool children receive music lessons and they have French words on different things (this must be the learning another language thing) and the centres are "state of the art" designed. Sadly though, walking into it, the rooms are over-crowded, noisy and closed-in.

At least I can send DS2 to his centre in the knowledge that I'm doing the best thing for him.
