[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP. Looks like 10:30 is spouting nonsense.

I had the opportunity to visit and research WIS, LAMB and Bancroft. If you can get in and swing it financially, and assuming your kid does not have a learning or socio-emotional disability definitely go with WIS. Getting in (specially the Spanish track) is very difficult and competitive. Great teachers, wonderful proven curriculum, great community and awesome facilities. Your kid will likely thrive from PK through 12 grade. Another plus: no need to worry about overcroweded DCPS public schools and feeder patterns. Your child will get personalized attention and very small classes.

Bancroft is also nice from a facilities perspective, and very diverse socioeconomically and ethnically. If that's important to you then Bancroft would be great. However, I wasn't impressed by their curriculum. They used the same immersion program used in our old daycare, which IMO did not emphasized early literacy.

Also, while parents rave about it, I was not impressed by LAMB. This may be influenced by my skepticism of Montessori programs for some children.     [/quote]
