feedback on CentroNia, Rosemount Center, and/or Barbara Chambers for PK3

[Anonymous]

I'm considering CentroNia, Rosemount Center, and Barbara Chambers for PK3 for my son starting in August. I was wondering if people could share feedback on these preschool programs. Thank you.

I've had friends who had good experiences at CentroNia and Rosemount. I've never heard of Barbara Chambers. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in . . .

We're a happy CentroNia family - they really do early childhood well. In terms of our child's preschool experience, feel like we won the lottery despite technically losing it 2 years running.

Barbara Chambers is a large center on Irving Street in Columbia Heights that has been in the neighborhood for 50 years. They have NAEYC Gold accreditation. They're part of the District's Pre-K Enhancement Act and the teachers are highly qualified. They serve mostly low income Latino children, so it is pretty much an immersive Spanish environment. Lead teachers first language is English, although I know they are bilingual. If you're good with that, it's a good experience. They have a huge on site playground out back.
