[quote=Anonymous]Going through the pre-school application process right now, I have say that I can't fathom putting myself through interviews and playdates when there are so many great programs -- including Montessoris -- that don't require parents and children to jump through hoops.

I've had nothing but positive experiences at schools that simply hold open houses and ask you to complete an application; these schools are oversubscribed, so they of course could take the sort of tone that it seems Aidan does, but instead they are welcoming and friendly, even to families that don't gain admittance.  I've received personal messages from school directors in response to my questions, and one program where we were wait-listed last year encouraged me to call every month to see if there was movement on the list -- and the director thanked me every time I called.

Why put yourself through a humiliating experience when you don't have to?  OP, if you're looking for a Montessori, I've had nice conversations with the directors at Chevy Chase Montessori and Auguste Montessori.  If you're open to non-Montessori, check out CCBC, Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, Amazing Life Games, Adas Israel, and Temple Sinai.

Good luck![/quote]
