[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can try Holy Trinity in Bowie but to be honest, I wasn't impressed but there are many families who think that's the cream of the crop.  What area in DC do you work?  U live in Upper Marlboro and my kids go to a private in DC.[/quote]

We would be by the Giant in Bowie off of 301 and we will be commuting to the L'enfant Plaza area.  I did see Montessori International in Annapolis, and it seems like they may have a bus that picks up in Bowie, but we wouldn't use that option before Kindergarten.[/quote]

That's so funny to see the Montessori International (aka MICH) name here on DCUM!  It's a tiny school and most DCUM people don't know anything about Annapolis area schools.  My kids went there for primary and we loved it.  For various reasons they didnt' stay for grade school, but they have some friends who are still there who are happy with it.  As a school, I don't hesitate to recommend it.
BUT....  that would make your life really scattered geographically.  MICH is east of Annapolis, so to get there you have to deal with traffic on 50 heading towards the Chesapeake Bay.  I could see living in Bowie and going to MICH if you worked somewhere in Anne Arundel, but the logistics of you heading one direction and the kids heading another gives me a headache. And if you have a sick kid or something it will be a long commute until you can get to school to pick up the child.  It may be worth it for you guys, but definitely make sure you understand the distances before making that decision,

I have a dear friend with kids at St Mathhews in Bowie for preschool and K and loved it.  [/quote]
