[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got our lottery result and my daughter didn't get into Robert Goddard Montessori as a 3-year-old. (She's 95 on the waitlist, so it's unlikely she'll make it.) We'll try again next year, but I believe I read in some posts that more spaces tend to open up for kindergarten.

It's my understanding that to start at kindergarten, she needs to have had past Montessori experience. So where should I be trying to get her into preschool for 2018? (We're set for this fall as a 3-year-old.) I've been looking around and there are several Montessori schools in the area with varying prices. Are there any that are "better"? Are there any that Robert Goddard won't accept?

And is it even true that there's a chance that she'll be able to get into Robert Goddard later on with Montessori experience, or are we pretty much out of luck?

Thanks![/quote]

If you don't make it into the 3 year old program, it IS much harder to get into the 4 year old program. You are correct that you may have better chances going to a different Montessori school and then try transferring for kindergarten. I would contact Prince George's County "Pupil Accounting and School Boundaries" to find out if there are any private Montessori schools that are not accepted, although I am under the impression that any accredited Montessori school is sufficient to transfer from. One Montessori school I had toured a few years ago that seem good was called Christian Family Montessori in NW DC. The prices were also much more affordable than other Montessori schools.[/quote]
