[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW. I would really thank everyone for their amazingly constructive feedback. The upshot seems to be to move into an area zoned for Deal/Wilson or Hardy/Wilson and I am good to go. So I'll look into those maps now. Also, everyone seems to agree about putting the kids on the waitlist for the charter schools Inspired Teaching and DC International. Do I have to chose one over the other? Would one probably suit the kids over another? And my two year old will be three in December. How does the lottery work for him? What do I have to do and what places would be near his older siblings/in the same system? Thank you again![/quote]

PK3 and 4 are by lottery. No PK3 in the Deal neighborhood public schools. Most people there use one of the many great private preschools in the neighborhood until PK4 or K (St. Columba's, St. Paul's, Franklin Montessori, Chevy Chase Baptist Church, etc.).[/quote]

Not true. Bancroft and Shepherd have PK3. Please give accurate information to newbies. [/quote]

I realize that, I was talking about the immediate neighborhood, since 1) she wants to be closer to Georgetown, and 2) since she said "near" older siblings, which is why I said "Deal neighborhood" and not Deal feeders. So thinking of commute, and having a neighbor with kids with the same age gap, I am assuming she is hoping to do what they do, which is to have the non-driving, babysitter age, older siblings pick up the younger child after school. In which case, the preschool ideally would be walking distance from the middle school and high school. This is entirely possible with the schools I mentioned if the kids are Deal/Wilson. But, yes, there are ES that feed to Deal that have PK3 EOTP (East of the Park) and the bus ride across the park to pick up younger sibling would work too.[/quote]
