[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If your child has that many behavioral issues, then its probably best to just do PEP and hire a nanny if you do not want to say home.  Any suggestions given, you seem to reject.  Most schools expose to all religions.  My kid keeps coming home with Christmas stuff which annoys me as I never saw anything for Hanukkah.  You can call around to the Jewish ones and ask.  JCC and some of the others I called were really nasty.   I am not getting what you are looking for.  No program is perfect and there are lots of compromises, even if you choose to stay home.  In all reality, if your child has that many needs, PEP and private speech are your best options as is LEAP.   Dolly Madison in VA is also talked about.  It was too far for us to consider.   [/quote]

We're looking for a program that isn't going to kick him out because he goes on a pushing spree when he has difficulty communicating. It's *really* hard to find schools who are willing to accept a child who requires communication to be facilitated or that has an abundance of structure (minimal free play) to minimize situations where children aren't being paid attention to.

If we send DC to a school outside of MoCo, we lose PEP and all related therapy services. We're trying to keep those because we've been very happy with the support we've received from I&T and MCPS.

We're open to DC learning about Christmas (he learns about it watching Sprout and Disney Junior), but what we don't want is a program where he is taught that Jesus is the Lord, how to cross himself, or other overtly religious sayings or gestures that aren't Jewish.

I'm really curious what program you ended up in. We're also really sorry that some Jewish preschools were nasty to you (although we also know that feeling). No preschool should make families feel unwelcome, and we posed this thread because we have found that negative reactions are so common, it would be nice to get recommendations from families who have been through the process before.
