[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of people who use private daycares in DC despite the fact that they have now extended public schools to PK-3. And because at least some families use DCPS at this age, there is more availability in private preschools/daycares than there used to be. (I know because I've had kids at a great DC preschool/daycare for the past 8 years and they now actively seek 3yo applications whereas the waiting list for the infants room is years long.) If you're able and willing to consider paying for childcare, you should ask for recommendations on the preschool/daycare forum here in addition to trying your fates with DCPS and the charters. The advantage of course is that many (not all) private preschools are year-round; the disadvantage is that it will set you back somewhere in the range of $1200-1600 per month. And fwiw, disregard the DC JCC booster here. This is a daycare that left a child at a park last year and didn't even realize it. If you're going to fork over money for preschool, you at least want an environment where they don't abandon small children in public places.[/quote]
