[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people on this board assume that just because someone lives WOTP, they are wealthy and own some SFH zoned for Janney.  I just want to remind you that that is not always the case.  My small family of three rents an apartment zoned for Murch.  Even though we are years away from school aged for our kid, we live where we live because it's much less expansive than where we used to live EOTP.  We're saving as much as we can to be able to buy a place, but that likely won't be in our current neighborhood.  So for us, free pre-k 3 would be a huge bonus (which is why we will apply to many of the wonderful programs EOTP and just make it work with our commutes).  Point being, please don't assume that everyone WOTP can afford private, and can afford to stay there as homeowners long term. [/quote]

+1. And even among the homeowners, there are people who bought small fixer uppers WOTP, maybe before prices of those climbed close to a million. That's the case for us, and with the budget we had back then, we'd today be looking IB for the Title 1 school where we attended PK. I'm not clamoring for PK3 to be made available WOTP, but please don't assume everyone in Ward 3 is rich, dropped a million on a house, and can easily afford private preschool for multiple kids.[/quote]

So then take some of your hundreds of thousands in equity as a HELOC and pay for another year or two of childcare. [/quote]
