[quote=Anonymous]I would urge kindness from all on this thread. Our family has now been on both sides - oldest waitlisted for two years, younger sibling now in PK3. Being waitlisted did suck. In the "first world problems" version of sucking, but it did suck. Trying to find a good preschool and commuting to it ate up massive amounts of time (and for others, massive amounts of money. $30K for two additional years of Hill Preschool, anyone?). There was no easy Van Ness option for us, and there won't be for most future waitlistees. And I wouldn't say that we now feel like outsiders at Brent, but I would say that having large numbers of kids waitlisted isn't great for social cohesion.

But in response to the original question, I don't think there will be any changes to the preK format at Brent unless they are driven by the need for another 5th grade classroom. It's easier to keep things the way they are for numerous reasons (mandates from Central Office, teacher preference, preference of current families with younger siblings coming in for PK3, controlling enrollment numbers).[/quote]
