[quote=cmezoughem@gmail.com]I think Kensington is a good option - relatively close in, Montgomery County.  BUT, be very mindful of where the lines are drawn for public school.  Sad but true, its all about the train tracks.  Generally speaking, south of the train tracks gets you into "better" schools.  (If this was in the public school forum people would probably start throwing flames at me but a look at the test scores and that the county admits that Einstein is an under performing HS.....tells you I am not maybe so far in my statement.....)

I can't speak to Grace Episcopal (in Kensington, mentioned a lot on the thread) - but heard good of it.

What I can strongly recommend is that you contact Washington Episcopal School (Bethesda) and see if they have K openings.  Skipping all the other discussion to get to what is your initial question/concern - the starting point of your quest - it is highly accessible for the NTK/1st grade program (as well as other grades).  I know of at least one child that had accessibility issues that has attended.

Besides the obvious (ramps to get in the school, elevators in the school), there is plenty of "space".  The Kindergarten classrooms are super well set up for what you are looking for.  There are tables (no desks) but also a lot of floor time - spacious.  The classrooms also have doors that open directly to the playground which would make going outside for recess just so much easier.  There is also a bathroom in the classroom (with a wide door/accessible).  Everything those kids do and interact with is completely "at their visual/reach level".

I always "own" my postings.  Besides contacting me through DCUM - my email address is cmezoughem @ gmail.com if you have other specific questions.
