[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Definitely consider Brent Elementary on Capitol Hill.  It’s a wonderful neighborhood for young families with immediate access to all that DC has to offer. You can literally stroll down to the National Mall and the museums—pop in with your kids and pop out when they are tired. Also the Hill is lousy with nice, friendly parks and playgrounds. There’s a group called Sports on the Hill that organizes sports teams for your older child. There’s also Capitol Hill Little League, dance studios, a Trader Joe’s, a Whole Foods, a library with story hours, independent bookstores, a game store, neighbor-owned restaurants, Eastern Market, immediate access to great bike paths, close to Nationals Stadium and Audi Field..Once you are settled ask a neighbor how to get set up on the Moms on The Hill ( MOTH ). Listserve.  It’s a great way to know what’s going on for little kids around the neighborhood and the city.

If your 4 year old isn’t able to secure a spot at Brent, there is a sweet private preschool right next door called The Hill Preschool

This is all true, but equally true of Ludlow-Taylor where you’d also get free PK4 of higher quality than HPS. Hill Preschool is great for 2s and 3s, but it skews very young for the reason the PP said (families bail for free PK4) and so your PK4 aged kid will probably be bored. Like Brent is perhaps marginally better for 3rd (although I’m not even sure that that’s true anymore), but the L-T PK4 v paying for HPS is a much bigger difference. [/quote]
