[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I thought being part of an elementary school offered a lot of advantages. If your school has a gym, auditorium for performances, real PE, music and art teachers, etc., it's very nice. My DD attends a not very well regarded DCPS but the quality is better than her perfectly fine daycare and she really loves when she participates in big kid stuff. For example, just getting to watch the 3rd-5th grades put on a musical was so special to her and she ran up for hugs afterwards.

[b]The biggest difference IMO is that her preschool teacher has a MA in early literacy and used to teach first grade, so DD's reading really took off. You may or may not get that level of credential and experience in BH, it just depends.[/b][/quote]

We did BH downtown prior to PK3 and moved to a DC charter for PK3.  I would say generally DCPS teachers will have much better credentials than BH and depending on the school will also likely have much more community building activities as well (school plays, field trips, other activities).

Although I will echo an earlier comment that with DCPS/DCPCS you have to be ready for all of the random days off and dealing with aftercare enrollment, which can be bumpy.

At BH is was nice to have every (non-holiday) day covered and also not have to worry about aftercare.[/quote]
