Pre-K classes at Lafayette have 20 students each - currently there are three pre-k classes (each with a teacher and an aide), expected to add a 4th Pre-k class in the fall. |

Pre-K at Shepherd, and we love it! DD is learning so much!
Three Pre-K classes (two Spanish and one French), about 14-18 students each (with teacher/aide for each class). |

| Is prk k in DC all day? Can any child go who lives in DC? In Maryalnd only a few public schools offer pre k. The pre k in Maryand is for low income only and it is only 2 1/2 hours. |

the teachers were much more excited, the mix of kids was great, the parents did not turn into people on a mission to get their kids into a private school-so the year was much more enjoyable for everyone, the curriculum was exciting and it seemed as if the kids learned and were engaged instead of the fully play-based preschool ( examples of units were photosynthesis, types of rocks, dinosaurs, insects/metamorphisis, space, parts of the body and how they work), the community feel of the neighborhood school... the 18k preschool for dd1 was ncrc. |
