We're in the 20s.

I'm curious what our chances are of getting an offer for a PreK4 spot at IT.

The teaching quality definitely matters to us, but the longer hours doesn't matter in our situation. We are paying a full-time nanny to take care of the younger sib, so there is no real advantage to having the older one in school any longer.
What is odd to me is that statistics for Grow show a fairly high percentage of FARMS kids. Typically, this does not equate to a very enriched, academic student body. So it makes me wonder what the KIPP Grow experience is really like.

We got an email today that our child received a spot in the KIPP Grow PreK lottery for the 2012-13 year. We also just found out he received a spot at Center City - Trinidad Campus. So far, we have had zero luck getting him a spot anywhere else. He is precocious for a 3 year old and he is unusually skilled verbally. He shows a lot of academic potential -- we just can't seem to get him into a school that will know what to do with a child like him. Perhaps KIPP or even Center City would be able to offer him more?

Anyone else considering KIPP Grow? Does anyone know anything about the school?

My 3 yr. old is really interested in the guitar. I was thinking he would benefit from some sort of age-appropriate guitar/music lessons. Any recommendations for someone in D.C.?

My 3 yr. old finally has enough hair to warrant a cut. However, it grew in oddly enough that it is too complex for me to just do a trim. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who does a good job with haircuts for little ones in D.C.?
