[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live near you and have had a very good year at Bridges. We only have experience with preschool but have found the teachers warm, the school facilities nice (clean, bright, welcoming) and other parents friendly. (I do wish there was a bit more school involvement for families but don't know what I was expecting either.)

We are a bit worried about what will come in the later years and then how we'll move from elementary to middle (figure we'll be back in the lottery game). But I think that would be a worry no matter where we landed.

I will also say the aftercare has been good for us. Super easy (no wait-lists etc.) and well run.[/quote]

Thank you!!! DS will be starting PK3.  I love the option to bike over and take metro from there to office in DuPont Circle then doing the same thing in reverse.  I have done enough worrying for the past year anticipating the results of the 4/1/18 DCPS lottery.  Time to chill I guess and nonetheless just keep playing the lottery just as you stated which would have been the same outcome for any school other than our #1, #2, #3 etc.

I have been debating about before and aftercare.  Do I reduce my schedule so he does not have an extended day?  Or is the extended day actually worthwhile as he may be doing things like Yoga, and I can work a few more hours for the mulah.

I remember aftercare as a child and it was ran by teens who just let us be free in the cafeteria until our parents came to pick us up. I was not fond of it and it made for a long day.  I would hope that DS was still being loved on and shown attention.  Also debating on keeping an Aupair for at least another year to keep up the Spanish and allow for me time and longer office hours if need be. My partner lives in NYC, and only around on Thursdays, Fridays, and the weekend. [/quote]

Aftercare is very flexible there which has been great for us. You can use it daily, just a couple days a week, or on a drop in basis. The teachers are very loving. My kids don't go that often and get teary when I arrive and they need to leave.[/quote]
