[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to revive this post yet again as I look for options for our son who will be 3 in July 2016.

Anyone have experiences with Marie Reed, Powell or Bancroft?

I would be curious to hear what the "second tier" PK3s are like as I just want free PK instead of $1900 a month day care, so I'm not even applying to the top 5.[/quote]

Our children are at Bancroft. You will likely only get a spot if you live in boundary. Sure, not paying tuition is great but if you want a school like Bancroft to work, you need to embrace the dual language program and better yet, get involved. There is a great family community and making connections with English, Spanish and other language speaking families make the experience better for you and your child. Plus there are headaches - communication has greatly improved but there are still holes. If free day care / preschool is what drives you, you will not likely be happy at Bancroft. Our children are happier there every year - the kids, teachers, staff are really their second family - it works best as a longer term plan - and not just for free care. [/quote]

Oh, get over yourself.  When my child was in PK3 I was extremely involved and  I don't think his experience was drastically different from that of any other classmate who arrived at school with the baseline of being fed, rested and ready to learn.  The community and connections are so you can feel warm and fuzzy but don't affect a 3yo in the classroom on a day-to-day basis.[/quote]
