[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other things that make me confident (besides the founders) - the classes are smaller than I thought.  Just [b]20 per grade[/b] and two teachers per grade.  The assistant teachers are in Montesouri training, so they have a built in pipeline of future teachers.  And wednesday afternoon, every wednesday afternoon, is reserved for professional development.

I also like that there will be variety of programming on those wednesday afternoons and during aftercare (which you can pop into for a small fee if you like the programming planned - imagine yoga class or music play for 4 dollars an hour when the going rate for that kind of kid stuff is 30 dollars an hour!)[/quote]

A[b]re you sure they said 20 per grade?  I asked recently and was told that there were only 15 for kindergarten.  Did they same something different last night?

Also, does anyone have a feel for whether the group last night were primarily for PS3[/b]?  Were there many kindergarten parents there?  Anyone know if any of them were declining?[/quote]

You do understand that montessori is mixed age classrooms and there are no PS3 and "kindergarten" designations?  These designations are only used for purposes of the lottery and admissions.  Please read up on this if you are on the WL and contemplating montessori.  So there are 15 spaces for K--five year olds-- spread out over three classes with five in each class.

yes I do understand that, but thanks for the condescending reply.

I am grasping at straws trying to find evidence that there might be movement on the K waitlist because we'd really like to get our child in there.  I was not the person who said that there would be 20 per "grade" when she meant to say class.  As my child will be K age next year it's relevant to me if other K parents were present and whether or not they are likely to go to Lee.  That's a completely different issue from the number of kids in each classroom and what the age breakdown might be.  Perhaps you should "read up" on how wait lists work under the DC lottery admissions system.[/quote]
