[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so glad my charter is a commute and thus safe from you.  I would never dream of doing anything other private preschool in your position. [/quote]

Huh??  What do you know of my position??

Is it an unwritten rule that people only apply to their in-bound school and don't select backups???  [/quote]

When I was IB for Eaton and had a PK3 I didn't play the lottery but went private till pk4. What schools need are a stable student/parent body, not people looking for a free ride for a year before committing to tehir neighbrohood school.[/quote]

AppleTree Columbia Heights is a school that focuses only on PreS / PreK.  They are focused on realy education.  The do not NEED a stable student / parent body.[/quote]

Watch out with AppleTree anywhere!  This franchise is all too used to giving low-income parents their marching orders.  Their parent organizations are weak or non-existent.  The kids are pushed around and disciplined for every little thing.  They hold staff meetings during naptime but won't let kids who can't sleep do a darn thing.  We aren't thrilled with our AppleTree campus.  Free is the best part.  [/quote]

Our experience has been totally the opposite.  Loving teachers, very focused on our child, lots of excellent feedback that is tailored to their needs.  True, there is not much of a parent organization, but frankly, the school is doing and providing a lot of what our DCPS PTA does at the school where our other child is at.  Life isn't perfect (school wide communication isn't great and it'd be cool if they had even a few dedicated parking spots for drop off and pick up), but it is pretty good.[/quote]
