[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone,

Our daughter will be going to PK3 next year, so diving into the search for a preschool and becoming swiftly overwhelmed. I'm looking at ratings on MySchoolDC and also trying to Google for other school reviews, but I don't have a good understanding of how those scores translate into the school experience, particularly for ECE. We're planning to stay in SW for at least a couple of years, after that we may move after we have some time to evaluate the long-term school situation. Ideally we'd love to stay in DC, but we'll have to see how it plays out.

Amidon-Bowen is the obvious one, and likely top of our list. I'm also interested if anyone has an experiences with Van Ness. After that we're venturing into the Capitol Hill schools (Peabody, Brent, Payne, Maury, Watkins, etc)....but should we even bother trying since we're not in-bounds? Similarly looking at Thomson since I don't work too far away, or perhaps Capitol Hill Montessori @ Logan. Are there any that I'm missing?

Does anyone have experience with any of the Apple Tree PCSs? I see that there's one near L'Enfant and they're opening up a new one by the Waterfront station next year. Is that wise to consider a totally new school?

The lottery data is also kind of freaking me out, making me wonder if we'll need to go private. Her current daycare is accredited through kindergarten but still very under-enrolled due to telework so they don't really have PK3+ classes at the moment. [/quote]
