I can't recall exactly but I think the group was comprised of 3-4 yr olds. To anticipate your questions.. yes, there were simple writing exercises (together with simple craft exercises e.g. gluing small pieces of coloured paper to a paper plate to make an animal, reading a story which formed the basis of the theme, answering questions related to the story, learning basic facts related to the theme etc..) and yes, it was accompanied. Since I don't run the class, no, I don't know why this age group was accompanied and why they had writing activities but the writing didn't seem to be a problem for the kids attending. It was pretty much parent-supervised so I think the kids did as much as their ability allowed.
What did I expect? I expected something that engaged my child's attention better (my child did not find it interesting) and ideally I would have loved something that got my child to stretch his thinking/think differently. Or at a minimum, just having either my child or I (preferably both!) learn something from the experience so either something that I can't easily do at home or something I hadn't thought of to do.
Actually, it doesn't feel like this is going to be a productive exchange so maybe it's best we end the comments on this topic here. Your tone suggests you are unwilling to accept any opinion that does not provide this particular course with a glowing review. I am not looking to convert your opinion, I am simply sharing mine so that others looking for information can hear an alternative viewpoint. I know I would certainly have appreciated it.
