[quote=Anonymous]DC is in PS3 and we are very happy with the program.  The facilities are great, the early-ed curriculum and teaching is strong.  Very welcoming parent community. DC is making friends and comes home talking about positive interactions with teachers. I take that to mean that DC is getting a good balance of group and one on one attention. We've had solid experience with the Y aftercare program.  We love that they have "camp" for teacher workdays and vacations at the school, which has been key for DC who can get nervous in new environments. I don't know what "inspired Montessori" means, but I'll be honest, I'm not in love with a Montessori program. So from my vantage point, I'm very happy that DC is not in a Montessori program and wouldn't characterized what DC experiences as in line with the Montessori philosophy. I do believe DCs teachers act as "guides" and I have watched as DC has put some of the "problem solving" approaches learned at school into action at home. DC has developed better impulse control and will try several options to fix a problem before throwing the "problem" across the room (DC is 3 after all!).

I cannot comment on the upper grades, but I think a work in progress is most likely a good description. I can imagine if you have an outlier child (in either direction) you may struggle to find the right educational fit, regardless of school.

We will not be going into the lottery for the foreseeable future.  However, we do have some concerns that if we stay through middle school, public high school may be problematic.  But that's a long way away.
