[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beyond Montessori and daycare, what other options are there?[/quote] OP's child is about to be 3, right? So most types of preschools will be available somewhere in DC. In addition to play-based and Montessori, DC has Reggio and Waldorf programs, though both involve a lot of self-exploration so might not be right for OP. I don't know off hand if there is a preschool in DC that follows HighScope guidance but a lot of churches do, and I could see OP liking that (a lot of organized, hands-on learning with an academic bent). Creative Curriculum is nominally similar to play-based but I get the sense that it tends to be more structured and overtly academic in practice. But setting aside identifying a formal educational philosophy, OP may just want to visit the preschools that are geographically convenient and see what their programs are like.[/quote]
