[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. First, I’m the dad.

Second, I worked for seven years out of college in DC government before going to grad school and then the private sector several years ago. While my comment was flippant and it’s been a long time since I worked in DC government, DC government in terms of expert services was at best challenged behind the scenes when I worked there - and I worked with a majority of the 100+ agencies in the DC government. The education cluster in particular was not a shining beacon then. It’s not so much snobbery but skepticism from hard won experience. One thing I did learn is that while DC government was challenged, state and local governments elsewhere are frequently non-functional. So at least DC is better than most.

Third, as someone said, SNs are new to me and my wife. We don’t know what are red flags and what should be noted but ignored. I don’t shrink from going through the weeds, but what I should be looking for is unknown, particularly when our other child, a 4 year old, doesn’t appear to have SNs. [/quote]

Oof, wow, would love to discuss more on a different forum. I am glad things are going well with Strong Start
