[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that worry about not getting into PK3 and PK4 at IB schools, you'll get in for K, right? Is the worry schooling for the two preK years mainly?[/quote]

Yes the worry is the massive cost of two years private preschool.  Plus commute. Plus other IB kids building friendships and community that you aren't a part of. [/quote]

Commute and costs, sure.  But 3 year old friendships and PTA "friendships" are really not something to worry about. [/quote]

Community is important, and you will find parents with older kids at Brent who will tell you that their parent friends on Capitol Hill were largely made on the playground waiting for the school bell to ring. [b]My child started there at Kindergarten, and I had a mom tell me the other day that she couldn't be bothered learning my name or my child's name because she had met everyone she needed to meet when her kid was in preschool.[/b] That being said, at Brent, coming in in Kindergarten is the new normal. Half of the Kindergarteners will be new students any given year. My observation is that the kids mix and match friends every year, so starting later isn't a big influence on their friendships after the first few weeks. It is somewhat harder to meet other parents starting at Kindergarten rather than PK, but it isn't insurmountable at all if you are outgoing.[/quote]

:shock: I hope there aren't too many people like that at Janney...[/quote]
