[quote=Anonymous]I see the Unkind Brigade on DCUM is out in force today. OP, pre-K admission in this area can be quite competitive if they are the pre-K programs of the "Big 3" and other top schools. There's a limited number of slots, lots of applicants, and preference for siblings, legacies, and people who can donate a lot. Your child's WPPSI, behavior on the playdate, and the like, affect their chance of admission. But so does the admission committee's opinion on whether your family -- which basically means you and your spouse, really -- will be a "good fit" for the school. If your child doesn't get in, it's highly unlikely to be the fault of their daycare. It's far more likely to be you -- whether the way that you came off in your application, or the parent interview. Or your kid might just not be a good fit (which is again far more about your family than the daycare). Or they just don't have any slots.[/quote]
