[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A quick reminder that non income based, all day, free, pre k 3/4 wasn't even offered in DC until not that long ago, and outside of D.C. it's unheard of. If you're IB you're guaranteed a spot at least by K, might still make it in pre K 4. You have options, but yeah will have to pay. If you don't have the means, look into Head Start. It seems like people forget that all day non income based pre k 3-4 is not a right. (Maybe it should be, that can be a topic for another day,  but then we shouldn't be voting for  republican party and fighting tax increases nationwide) [/quote]
What's funny is that people list free preK as a great benefit of living in DC, but forget to mention that it's a) not guaranteed, and b) has nothing to do with your choice. [/quote]

I believe it is actually guaranteed, just not at your school of choice. As long as you can make the commute work, most of the programs will be fine (if you're not afraid of black and brown kids).

And of course we shouldn't vote Republican and cut taxes!  :D [/quote]

Last year there were about 600 more Pk3 seats offered than people who entered the lottery, but nearly the reverse for PK4. http://www.myschooldc.org/sites/default/files/dc/sites/myschooldc/page/2016-lottery-applications-and-seats-offered.pdf[/quote]

But many of the people who entered the PK4 lottery were already enrolled at  school for PK3 and could stay there another year. They were doing the lottery to see if they could get in somewhere they liked better. They may have only applied to one or a few very highly desired schools. Most of them will be fine. It does suck for folks who move to the area after the PK3 lottery though.[/quote]
