[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your bigger issue is after before 7am / after 6:30 pm / weekends / overnights. Have you considered an au pair for pick up and drop off and extra support?

This, OP. I don't think you can rely on other families for "off hours" care. Maybe WHC can help you identify some options that others with more unusual schedules use? If not, an extra room for an au pair may be a must.

There is a lot more street crime in Columbia Hts than there used to be and we experienced some incidents at playgrounds before moving west of the park. I'd suggest that. There is a great playground at St. Columba's for little ones and it might be a nice place to connect with other families in addition to whatever school your DD attends, it is a very progressive and friendly place. McLean Gardens would seem to tick a lot of your boxes and there are other apt options in the Wisconsin corridor. Traffic is less than pre-covid and a lot of your commute times would be off peak. If you want to take public transit, the H2/H4 bus runs from Tenleytown to WHC and takes about 30 minutes.
