[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is public school and not day care. From everything you posted here, you are going to be disappointed no matter where you end up this year. You will have a lot less say in how things go each day and you will not know as much about your child's experience as you would if you hired a nanny. The school will serve at least 8 grades if it's PK3-5 and the older grades are the ones where there are standardized tests and more serious behavioral issues and truancy reporting rules and other things that take up administration time.

You seem to have very high expectations that the school will spend a lot of time holding your hand. They know your address when you enroll. They know you're leaving by kindergarten and that you'll never affect their test scores or make a long-term commitment to the school.

If you want a very nurturing environment focused exclusively on toddlers, you will have to pay for it. The good news is there are lots of nanny shares and private day cares for 3 year olds, and a lot of them are easy to get into because other kids leave for public school.  You might like Scrilli--it is in Brookland. I've heard good things about Commerce Kids and know they have space in their older classes. There are undoubtedly closer places to you too.[/quote]
