[quote=Anonymous]We're IB for a well-regarded Ward 6 school but are planning on moving if we get into Breakthrough or one of the other Montessori charters (which we ranked 1, 2, 3). I'm sure our DD would do just fine at our IB school or one of the other DCPS schools nearby (many of which we did rank lower down on our list) but I just think she'd do even better in Montessori. We didn't apply for any immersion programs, etc. But I visited a "Tools of the Mind" program in a local DCPS school and I just found it to be way more academic than I think is developmentally appropriate for a 3 year old (e.g. the tour guides boasting that even the PK3s were writing their play plans by the end of the year, not even just drawing pictures anymore). I'm very grateful for all the options DC offers for ECE, and obviously TotM is much much better for young brains than no PK or low-quality care, but at the same time I think we can still do better.
