[quote=Anonymous]As someone who had a kid at Maddux who was not one of their success stories I would take PEP for now, because it's free, and save my tuition dollars for later, when the quality of special education diminishes in elementary in MCPS.  Most people I know had good to great experiences in PEP. Also, if you know your PEP placement, post it and people can chime in.  ES is a whole different ball game in terms of supports and program offerings and unless you have significant needs your class size is going to be big.  You are already going to get by definition a small class and supports in PEP.  That's what Maddux offers that makes it a good choice for K, 1 & 2.  If your kid is 4 you can also add a typical preschool in the am if you want more peer exposure. 
 
Maddux has been discussed at length on this board.  Many people love it but there are a number of us who didn't stay or were asked to leave.  Among my beefs:  The admin staff is stretched thin and all the exmissions help we were promised never materialized.  The OT who worked with my kid's class was totally disinterested in him/us and refused to connect with our private therapist--I actually have no idea how she worked with his class because she never sent any kind of communication ever.  My kid's classroom teacher never cared for him (it was obvious) and I'm surprised to see that the current pre-K teacher has only a BA.  All teachers in Moco need to have or be in the process of getting one.  All this to say that paying lots of money does not necessarily make for a better experience.[/quote]
