Experience with Brooksfield, Temple Rodef, or Dolley Madison Preschools?

[DGPG]

Hi all, if anyone has experience with the the Brooksfield school, Temple Rodef Nursery School, or Dolley Madison Preschool, can you please share your thoughts? Most are not allowing in-person tours due to the pandemic, and I'm finding it impossible to make a decision.

Thanks in advance!

All three are established and well-respected. Very different, of course, in approach: play-based, Reggio, and Montessori. You'll have to decide which is best for your child's personality.

We will be sending our 2 years old to Rodef in the fall

Any other input?

My son did one year at Brooksfield for KG (last minute find due to closure of FCPS in fall 2020) and now my 3 year old has been there since Aug 2021. We love it! The teachers are absolutely wonderful, great outdoor space and great variety of "classes" (gardening, yoga, music, spanish, etc).

We applied to Brooksfield and a few others - have notices started to go out for acceptances or not? (My DS is going to be 2)

I meant to apply to Dolley Madison and just didn't get around to it. Doh!

Everyone I know that sent their kids to Temple Rodef (Jewish and non-Jewish families) has wonderful things to say about it, and they all send their kids back for summer camp.

Both of my kids went to Rodef, my younger child graduated a couple of years ago. We loved the school and the community, and would highly recommend it.
