[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great!  We will keep that in mind for #2!  Much closer.

How did you end up at St. Patrick's?  Tough commute?[/quote]

Well, I used to teach in a couple of the private schools and had always heard great things about St. Patrick's, it's leadership, and it's teachers.  We went on the tour and sent in the application the next day.  It was a wonderful preschool experience for our children and worth every penny.  My husband and I also went to private school PK-12 grades and we thought that this is what we would do for our children.  This year we were staring down an almost $60,000 tuition bill and we decided that while we could do it, the alternative (Campbell) was/is just as good (and free!!).   We are using the money saved to roll into college funds, retirement, we are giving more to local charities, travel, art classes, home improvements, etc.

Oh- another great story about community at Campbell.  Just before school let out for break the school's counselor and the bilingual resource assistant sent out an email asking for gently used or new toys/clothes for Campbell families in dire need due to various circumstances.  The community pulled together and we filled a room with toys and clothing.  A couple of us got together and went out and bought Giant gift cards so that the families could have a holiday dinner.  The school's staff and families really care about each other and it shows.

Back to St. Pat's and to answer your question, the commute to St. Pat's was not bad at all.  It would take us longer in the mornings, but only about 12 minutes to get in for pick-up.

You definitely should look at Etz Hayim for your younger child.  They start at 18 months and go through PK.  It's wonderful.

Sorry for all the rambling...

Where are you moving in Arlington?
