[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd plan to have to pay for another year of childcare and hope for the best.[/quote]

When you say plan ... what does that mean? Mentally? Financially? Are you looking at schools and putting your name on waitlists? Some preschools wr looked at have apicatkon deadlines and you have to sign contracts in thr spring![/quote]

I meant financially. My kid was supposed to be in K this year. So we had 1.5 years of free school (PK3 and half of PK4) and have been scrambling to pay for childcare ever since. It sucks but I’m grateful we can swing it.

You don’t necessarily need to be applying to application pre-schools for PK4. Lots of daycares and camps are being flexible and are offering programs to facilitate online learning. My kids has been going to one since August. These places are making decisions and opening spots based on DCPS’s announcements. So just do the lottery like you’d normally do. If you get into a school you’re excited about longer-term (whether that’s your IB or not), enroll, but be prepared it won’t be full time, and be prepared to pay for supplemental childcare.  [/quote]
