[quote=Anonymous]Concerning Langley's preschool gender issue - my DD was in a preschool class that was 60% boys.  There were enough girls that I wasn't concerned, because it was a very small class with 2 teachers, and my DD played with both boys and girls.  But if there were less than 4 girls, I might have been more worried.  This year I think there are 4 girls in one preschool class and 5 in the other.  Both classes have more boys than girls - I think they are both about 60% boys.  The JK class tends to be less boy heavy, and has 2 larger classes so there are more little friends to play with/choose from.  I noticed that the K class was evenly split between boys and girls based on the directory this year, so they must be mindful of correcting this by K.  Its true that the imbalance is a result of siblings though.  I know last year and this year there are very few opening for male non siblings.

One thing I like about Langley is the sibling policy.  I hadn't given it too much thought when I first applied, and I think Potomac is a great school.  However, the idea of having one kid at one school and the other somewhere else is not what I want for my family.  I understand it if there is some reason for sending your kids to two different schools.  But Langley is a very family-oriented environment, and I think most families go there expecting to be highly committed to the one school. This results in a very strong parent community.  [/quote]
