[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you finding these preschools that "REQUIRE" potting training by age 3?  I'd like names please.

None of the top preschools in NW DC have this requirement.  I went on all the tours this spring and my child will attend one this fall.  She's trained but the schools were all (every last one) willing to work with 3 year olds who weren't trained.

ALL DC public schools, and ALL DC charter schools require training before admittance to preschool 3.  My son was still two when he joined PS3 (late birthday).  School starts in August and they must turn 3 before end of Sept.  He was trained before he turned 2.  ALL his classmates were potty trained with the exception of one special needs girl who wore a pull up for the first few months.[/quote]

We live in the suburbs and none of the (private, 3-mornings-a-week type) preschools we toured have some stringent requirements. But I wouldn't send any of my dc to an all-day preschool unless I needed it for daycare. I don't see how the best child-centered preschool practices can really be replicated in a public elementary school.[/quote]

Well if you really want to debate the quality of schools this is not the thread or the right forum, but I can tell you that many DC charter schools are completely public (FREE) and the education is as good as or better than what you will find at in your expensive private 3 day a week programs.

How is this relevant to someone who lives in the suburbs and is not eligible for any of DC public education options? Did you feel like you just had to get it in? Why not tell her how lovely options are in Tennessee, while you're in a gloating mood?

And while this is really not the right forum, a cursory look at DC Schools forum will uncover at least one daily thread titled along the lines of "Completely frustrated with lottery results, am tearing hair out." [/quote]

It's relevant because she said "I don't see how the best child-centered preschool practices can really be replicated in a public elementary school".[/quote]
