[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered renting in DC and commuting to VA?  (so, possibly not such a bad commute going against traffic)

The reason is because DC has free preschool in most areas for 3 and 4 year olds.  Some public/charter programs are excellent, top-notch.  There are immersion programs, dual language programs, montessori, play-based, etc.  If you are looking to avoid paying for preschool for one year, then consider it (though of course you'll still have to pay for summer, days off, etc).

Do not do this. Stupid to live so far away and the schools are shitty.[/quote]

Not to mention crime at her budget.  DC is not a place for someone on a tight budget needing a sfe home and good schools.[/quote]

I disagree.  I think living in DC, especially off of a metro line and sending your child to free preK is a great idea.  It's worth a good 20k a year post tax.  You could also avoid having to own a car.  Just need to find a small rental in DC.  [/quote]
