[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is in PK3 at AppleTree Spring Valley. We love it. It's a 15 minute drive for us, so we're reluctantly moving him to Eaton for PK4 (our IB school, a three minute walk) purely for convenience, but if he hadn't gotten into Eaton we would have very happily stayed at AppleTree for PK4. We're going to be truly, truly heartbroken to leave. The school has been phenomenal for my son. I feel like we hit the jackpot with his teachers, and he absolutely loves going to school every day. His class has 16 kids and two teachers (a way better ratio than Eaton with 22 kids), as do all six classes at Spring Valley.

The curriculum is fantastic (and I was nervous about a curriculum that wasn't fully play based) -- it's been SO good for him. He's also in aftercare and loves it. We've had zero issues with discipline and I have not heard of any issues from other parents. We love the school and I genuinely get choked up at the reality of having to say goodbye in June. Can't recommend the school highly enough for any parents considering for next year![/quote]

FWIW the different classroom sizes reflect the difference in staff ratios for PK3 vs PK4. DCPS PK3 classrooms are typically 16 students as well.[/quote]
