I'm the second poster who didn't want to out myself. The preschools mentioned in this thread are all represented at our "big 3" school, but there are also a handful of kids who came from various daycare situations and a bunch of different Montessoris. From what I've seen, no particular school has any special advantage. The common theme among all the kids is that everyone has been in a group setting of SOME sort. I think the schools find that exposure to a group setting more valuable than what specific preschool a child went to. Some schools, like Little Folks, NCRC, CCBC, CCPC, CCUMC, etc are very well-represented, butI think that's a function of these schools serving very affluent neighborhoods where there might be more demand for private school.

I'm not PP, but I'll give a reason. Some of the people who post on DCUM strike me as quite bonkers, not in a humorous way but in a way that suggests they might show up at my front door one night and start yelling at me, or perhaps start spreading false info about me in retaliation if I disagree with their comments about nannies or red-shirting. I'd just as soon keep RL separate from DCUM. |

| Thanks, PP. I'm the one that didn't want to out myself, and your post helps sum-up why not. Even knowing that there is an occasional need to weed through posts by those very few who are bonkers, I find DCUM a helpful way to ask questions and share information. |

I agree most here are reasonable and helpful people, but there are a few potential nut-jobs here who really seem to be wound too tightly for my comfort. |

| The Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center (day care/preschool to K), a museum based education center populated almost exclusively by Smithsonian families, has placed grads at Sidwell, Lowell, Capitol Hill Day School, Beauvoir, the River School, and GDS over the last few years. |
