[quote=Anonymous]OP, I read the whole thread and agreed with the majority view....then realized we spent nearly three years doing a hour commute to a preschool that worked very well for us. We used the time in the car very well - singing, talking about what we saw, talking about what happened during the day, even alphabet, math, and a little foreign language. If you can be comfortable driving in the city and talking back and forth with DC...the car time can be quite valuable. Hate to startle anyone on this point, but have to say, what the kids learn at a "great reputation" preschool isn't primary factor in getting kids from such a school into xyz private. Instead it's the preschool's history of working with the ADs on behalf of the preschool's children year after year - as well as the self selection into these schools of a disproportionate number of families who plan on, and can afford, private. All that said, better to have a sibling than a fancy preschool, for learning and success in life.[/quote]
