[quote=Anonymous]Hey,

I know there are a lot of these postings, but I would really appreciate feedback on this list and any suggestions for additions. My son basically has a guaranteed spot for PK-3 at his current day care (one of the private sector options that qualifies), so I only want to leave the school if he gets in somewhere that I would want to keep him in for K and beyond. He also has a speech delay and some gross motor delays (waiting on MRI results for official diagnosis) and will likely have an IEP. He is not cognitively delayed and is making good progress with therapy, but having integrated services and teachers who are used to IEPs is a priority. For similar reasons, I am not super interested in dual language programs as our focus is getting him up to peer level with his native language. I am very interested in an experiential learning model. I am not totally sold on Montessori, but hear enough good things that I am trying to keep an open mind. I had a relatively structured, traditional school upbringing and think it served me well, so I am fine with a more academic focus as long as it is

We live in NE and Noyes is our IB, but we commute to Columbia Heights for day care (where our second child due in July will attend next fall), and work downtown. Based on our commute, these are the neighborhoods we are looking at or would be feasible to travel to: Brookland, Edgewood, Eckington, NOMA, Shaw, Bloomingdale, Columbia Heights, . Petworth, Logan Circle, Downtown, Capital Hill, and H St. NE.

This is my draft list with draft priority placement, but I definitely welcome any feedback or suggestions. TIA!!
