Breakthrough Montessori Family Orientation

I'm a self-proclaimed lottery guru.
I think they will go to 65 on their PK3 WL and go through their PK4 waitlist into some post-lottery applications.

NP here. You give me hope! DS is #65 for pk3! l'll report back and let you know if your guru status is more than self-proclaimed.?

Could you please explain what are your prediction based on? Thanks

Most new schools go that far into their waitlist in the first year. The building may also impact some people on their decisions. I'm a NP but I think PP is about right, though it may only move 40 spots. I'd say 40-60.

Lots of sign ups at this weekend's session. Staff are clearly reading DCUM because they responded to a few things. Specifically: no real half day "program" but if you want to pick up your little one after Morning Montessori and not do lunch and afternoon, that's fine, just be consistent.

On park: they will sign an MOU with parks and rec. kids will be at the park for 45 min every day.

After care still coming together and will be based on teachers, number of students etc. in terms of what they do.

No language. In their founding year they want to concentrate on getting the basics down before adding more.

Demographic in the room was diverse, but frankly more white than I expected.

It was a bit raucous because of the kids around and one of the presenters having a family emergency but they clearly wanted to be responsive.

Upshur or Petworth playgrounds?

Is there a possibility of no aftercare?

No, definitely free before and after care.

They guaranteed free before and aftercare for the first year.
