[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ideally near-ish the Fort Totten metro or close to a red, yellow, or green line metro stop.  I'm looking for a few potential "safeties" besides our in-bound to check out further in preparation for next year's lottery for PK3.  These schools can currently be not-very-good in the rest of their grades.  By a good early childhood ed program, I want a program that ensures [b]that students feel safe, that the teachers care about them, and that encourages a love of learning.[/b]  I'm not committed or against any particular educational approach because I think that many of them can be done well or badly.

It would be great if you can post what you liked about your experience, and any potential drawbacks to that school.  Thanks![/quote]

Our DD is going to Seaton this year for PK3. When we visited the school, we saw the things that you have mentioned above. It is a nice little community and the students seem happy. The staff is very helpful and supportive. The school is still not where it wants to be score-wise but I think that is going to change in the coming years. It may not popular (yet) on DCUM but had we not visited the school, got first hand info and saw the school for ourselves, we wouldn't have considered it. I highly suggest you give it a visit. I'd be the first one to say the bulding looks ugly from the outside but the interior is nice. There are plans of doing work on the exterior windows so they don't look like a prison :P. Also, it is across the street from the Shaw metro. [/quote]
