[quote=Anonymous]My oldest will be starting pre-school in the fall (he will be 3.5) and I don't know where to begin looking. We live in CCDC. DH and I are Catholic and both went to Catholic schools with pretty good experiences, so we are open to Catholic pre-K but also open to other options. People talk a lot about fit. He is a happy go-lucky toddler! He isn't reading the New York Times, but he also isn't missing any milestones.

We plan to send him to private school, whether Catholic or not. I don't really see us as candidates for "Big 3" schools since DH & I aren't legacies at Ivy League schools. I just want him to be happy, enjoy learning and enjoy his childhood. I don't care if he goes to an Ivy League school and I don't want him surrounded by people who find it to be the be-all-end-all of existence. It seems crazy to be evaluating pre-school based on where you want your kid to end up for high school, but I can't think of any other logical way to go about this. Any advice on how to think about it or approach it? Alternatively, anyone in NW DC have a pre school that they love and recommend we check out? For Pre-K 3 I am familiar with NCRC, St. Columbas, and Our Lady of Victory. Feedback on those schools or others would be much appreciated. [/quote]
