[quote=Anonymous]Hello! I have a 2 year old who will be 3 by next fall and therefore eligible for the DC Pre-K3 lottery; we currently live in DC. Our current apartment lease is up in December, and we'll have the opportunity to move anywhere in the great DMV area (husband's work is in Maryland, so prefer to stay between DC and MD). If we stay in DC, we could save a lot of money on child care through the lottery, but I'm concerned - we won't necessarily get our top choice, and what we do get may require a significant commute. My priority is making sure my daughter gets great care including pre-literacy and numeracy, socialization, social-emotional learning, and stimulating outdoor time, but the most important thing is the quality of and connection to teachers. How much should being within DC be a priority, given the cost savings, or should we really consider being in Montgomery County or elsewhere to ensure good care, choice, and minimize commute time?[/quote]
