[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't find much early pickup because it is taxpayer funded full-day school, not private preschool. The early pickup is usually offered as a transition option for kids who are struggling at first. The city is paying the schools to have kids all day and if a school closed early, that would cause problems.

For long recess, add LAMB to your list.

Please remember that public PK3 and PK4 are optional in DC. You are not obligated to send your child.

Yep, we realize it is optional.  Like many, many DC families in most cases private care is beyond our budget.  The two schools I mentioned allow for early pick up for prk3 all year according to their websites &/or information at the open house.  We do have LAMB on our list to check out of course it seems difficult to win a spot there.
I would give the argument forcing working class dc families that get priced out of good private care get forced into Full-time preschool. Why shouldn't families that all pay into the taxes be given a different options?? Like half day or a few days a week spot shared with another family or child.  When full-time  & inside all day isn't working for a kid.

Who takes care of your kids now? It's actually more of a burden on working families to not have full time care.

Unless you are not working, in which case I don't have a lot of sympathy, barring a child with extreme special needs.[/quote]
