[quote=Anonymous]Great advice! What do you think what type of community is in Norwood? 
[quote=Anonymous]I say this with kindness OP, since you appear to be a new parent: all independent K-3s in MoCo and NWDC near you will offer a whole lot of outdoor play and creative, hands-on, project-based learning.  All of them. Every single one.  Concord, Primary Day, Green Acres, Sheridan, Lowell, Beauvoir, GDS, Sidwell, Sandy Spring Friends, Bullis, St. Pat's, Norwood, NPS, Maret, and Washington Waldorf.

I would instead narrow my search using the filters of short commute and good fit with the parent community.  There some _very_ significant differences among the parent cultures at these schools.  Which, when kids are little, has a lot of impact on their social lives and your general hapiness as a family.  Unfortunately, parent :: parent relationships have more impact on things like playdates, parties and pee wee sports teams and activities than they probably should, from the child's POV

You didn't mention parochial / parish schools as an option, but the few of these I know don't present the same level of free play nor outdoor time as the ones I listed (Blessed Sacrament and Holy Trinity in case you're curious) [/quote][/quote]
