[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PreK and PreS thing must be DC terminology. The rest of the world calls preschool anything before Kindergarten. Most preschools have 3 year old classes, 4 year old classes, and PreK classes (which are reserved for kids who miss the cutoff for K or need an extra year before K).

Why the huge interest in Arlington Science Focus? 
Have you visited it? 
When my sister was 7-9 she wanted to be a marine biologist. When she was 10-15 she wanted to go into astronomy/robotics. She ended up at a liberal arts school majoring in religion and philosophy.

Definitely nurture your child's interests, but at this age it seems a bit extreme to move specifically for a science focus elementary school that may or may not be much more focused on science than other schools in the area. [/quote]

There is no school before Kindergartner in Arlington for any family that does not qualify as 'low income/special needs'.  4-year olds and below need to pay for private preschool up until they enroll in Kindergarten.  This is unlike DC.[/quote]
