[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hands down, NCRC (National Child Research Center) in Northwest DC is one of the best preschools in the area (if not the best).

Best of the luck with the move![/quote]

Agree! I visited a number of preschools and was struck by what a special place NCRC is. And our DC, who entered NCRC with developmental delays, has progressed tremendously and loves going to school. We've also been impressed by how they've managed COVID this year. Highly recommend but agree with others that you should figure out where you'll be living first. There are a number of great preschools throughout the DC area; there's no need for a long commute. [/quote]

We thought NCRC was lovely.

We ultimately chose Lowell for our daughter. Now in our fourth year there, and we couldn’t be happier. It’s a diverse, down to earth community. Parents are largely reasonable about the limitations of school amid a pandemic. Lowell has worked tirelessly to make things safe and equitable. We are just so pleased with it. They truly support the social/emotional well being of each child, and I can’t think of a better place for my daughter to be during such a challenging time. It’s made us better parents, too. [/quote]

If you started your daughter in preschool at Lowell- that means she is anywhere from 1st through 3rd grade- which is all remote! Not sure how equitable it is to have 1-3 grade remote while bringing back older children who can do distance learning much better. [/quote]

That’s changing in January, precisely for equity reasons.

And the reasons they are remote right now are completely fair. We recognize we are in the middle of a pandemic. There are circumstances admin cannot control, and they are doing their best.

Ultimately, we love the school and community, and we are giving grace to anyone making hard decisions right now. [/quote]
