[quote=Anonymous]Our PK3/PK4 experience in DCPS (at 2 different schools--PK3 inbounds, PK4 upper NW school--lucked out with lottery) was good. This was a number of years ago, so may have changed a bit, but at that point, DCPS was pretty math/literacy focused. I think kids who stayed in private had less direction in the program; which is better depends on your preferences. (We have a pretty flexible kid who did well in a variety of settings.) In DCPS, we did have to pay for after-care and for camps for days off of school (e.g., professional development days), and of course for summer care--but overall, it probably saved us 50% on our expenses, which was totally worth it for us. If convenience is more important than saving money, I'd stay in your current program. You won't have to deal with aftercare, finding care for days off, summer care, etc. Otherwise, though, I'd switch to DCPS particualrly if you like your neighborhood school and plan to stay there.
