[quote=akbevan]Hi all-

I could really use advice from those more knowledgeable on how you managed the 'moving toward school' years.  We live in Laurel and would like to consider both public lottery and private.  For public:

Goddard French Immersion (like everyone else, this is my first choice - I would love it b/c I grew up in French Immersion in Canada, land of great public education)
Goddard Montessori
Hoyer Montessori

I'd really like to pursue the lottery seriously but I also realize it's kind of a nightmare.  And of course you also  have to pursue (just as seriously, knowing the length of those wait lists) the privates - going to open houses, applying, etc.  We're thinking about the following for private:

Bowie Montessori Children's House
Friends Community
St. Jerome
Fairhaven
St. Mary of the Mills
Holy Trinity Episcopal

I'd love suggestions for others if you think I'm missing good ones.  So I guess my question is, from those who have been through this, how you balance your attention, your time, the application processes, the wait list wait, etc.  I'd love to gather info on this so I don't feel so panicked at the thought of it.

Thanks all in advance for opinions and insights.
