[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

I just transitioned to DOJ at the Patrick Henry Building and I am thinking of moving my 18-month-old daughter from BH Georgetown to FTC or 1111 Pennsylvania BH.  Does anyone have experience in the toddler room at either location? I have read a couple of threads regarding this but they weren't specific to toddlers and they weren't that recent.

I toured FTC and wasn't in love but it's significantly cheaper than Gtown.  On the other hand, I have heard from BH teachers that 1111 Pennsylvania is excellent and very well run. Has anyone had experiences at either? I would appreciate candid feedback.[/quote]

This is probably just as bad as second hand hearsay, but I both toured (when looking to move my kid) and placed my kid there for drop off a few times - looking at the toddler and preschool level.  I was unimpressed.  The toddler classroom I was shown on the tour was led by two teachers who were unenthusiastic to say the least, singing the circle song in monotone, clearly just going through the motions.  I don't expect a cheerleader, but I do expect an attitude other than "I'm seriously bored and tired of this one year old thing." I was a bit disturbed that was the show the for the tour, if you know what I mean.  The proved unable to engage my child during drop off days (who was understandably upset at a new environment, but in other situations/places not crying for hours).

May not be worth very much.  They don't have a playground, if you care, and I can't speak to the administrative side/running of the place.  No info on FTC.  [/quote]
