Options for Toddler

[Anonymous]

We are transitioning our toddler from an au pair over the last couple years to preschool this fall at MSM. We'll have to see how it goes there after a year but I'd like to have some sense of options for the future as a backup plan.

What are the best options for another preschool if he doesn't do well at MSM?

We're zoned for Franklin Sherman/Longfellow/Mclean public school K-12. Does it make sense to stay at MSM or similar school for K+?

What are the best options for private schools nearby if we don't go public? We're only 5 minutes away from Langley School so that's on the radar.

Thanks!

Look at Congressional School

Potomac is closer than Congessional and is a K-12.

I think MSM clearly would be better than public for K-3; beyond 3rd grade it would depend a lot on the child.

If one really wants Langley/Potomac/Congressional, then the admission competition is not as difficult at K than at later grades, but all 3 have competitive admissions and get more applicants than there are spaces..
