Preschool pod advice? [Va]

[Anonymous]

We're moving to Vienna, VA in a few weeks. Any advice on how to join an existing preschool pod or get something like this started? How are people coordinating in this area?

Good luck! You’re really late to the game.

Just send your kid to preschool

No! Please don’t send your child to preschool in light of the new climbing cases and complications to young children.

Just skip the whole idea until you’re established in your new home/neighborhood and get to know other parents first.

I live in Vienna and know people with preschoolers. What’s your main goal in joining the pod - socialization, learning, or childcare?

Socialization.

So then you’re looking for a bubble, or closed playgroup? Ie 2-3 families that meet for regular play dates and agree to only interact with each other.
