[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Washington, DC.

If a parent can eke out a slight competitive advantage over their peers by redshirting their precious snowflake, they will.[/quote]

Agree with others, that's a suburban thing. If you're a DC public school family, you start at pre-k to avoid another $20k preschool tuition year. [/quote]

Ha! Are you trying to say that preK in the suburbs does not cost $20k?! Because it does. [/quote]

Err, DC has universal pre-K starting at age 3. The suburbs do not. That’s…. what was being said.[/quote]

You clearly don’t live in DC or do not have/never had kids in DCPS at PK age. DC does NOT have a universal pk program. They have actually far from it, ESPECIALLY for PK3, which is exceedingly limited. It’s a golden ticket to get pk seats where you don’t have a sibling already in[/quote]

Errr, we live in Ward 4 and have a rising kindergartener in DCPS. You have a pre-K 3 seat, just not guaranteed at your home school or convenient to you. Lots of Ward 3 parents send their kids to Bethune 16th St, Sela, a Friendship school, etc. You could have too if you wanted to cross the park.

[quote] DCPS is proud to provide free, universal Pre-K in a school environment to ensure all of our young learners are ready for kindergarten.[/quote]
