[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are going to be so messed up if you are even considering outplacement from a patient.  These are children.  Your focus should be their development and happiness.  Not what’s next.  That’s how you raise anxious kids.  [/quote]

I respectfully disagree. I think you can focus on childrens' development and happiness and still be knowledgeable as a parent to outplacement options. It's about educating yourself and learning about options that may be the best fit for your child. Most children are sheltered from the process so I don't understand what the issue is. If the parents are calm, I don't see this as a negative. The above comment seems poorly thought out imho.  [/quote]

You don’t get it because you’re part of a group that is mostly focused on status and prestige.  You can’t even fathom that parents don’t even consider outplacement in a preschool.  Nor are they always thinking about the next step in life.  They try to live in the present and raise happy kids.  Your type of parenting prioritizes status and achievements over happiness and raising a grounded kid.  Seriously you don’t get it.  [/quote]

Not defending either parenting style but it is possible to parent with a mixture of both.  We chose St. Columba's because of the proximity to our house, the incredible playgrounds with chickens, and the wonderful teachers and head.  We were very lucky to live so close to that school.  I was curious about outplacement, ie pk since I knew it was unlikely that we would do DCPS.  I looked at a few of the more "prestigious" preschools and it didn't feel like a family fit.  My kids ended up getting accepted to every private to which they applied  for pk.  Lot's of kids, with whom my kids are still friends, went to Janney.  In retrospect I really overthought nursery school for my first and lucked out that one of the best one's was in our neighborhood.  Good luck op, it's been said many times, but you can't go wrong with your options.  [/quote]
