[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  13:35 yes! I will call the Gaulladet preschool. I read a bit on it the other day and got the feeling it is more ASL oriented than oral. My daughter knows some signs but we are focused on auditory-oral and having her 100% (hoping for 150%!) comfortable with spoken english. She's thriving with language intensive preschool. But if they emphasize both spoken English and ASL,  it could be  a great fit and I sure wouldn't argue if she becomes bilingual! I read that they bus the preschool kids free-- One case where hearing loss could be a blessing  :)   FERC has a daycare in the building so I guess that could be a (non-free) fallback, but I've read some not-so-great reviews. We are coming from STELLAR preschool so I really hope to find something good.

Are the DCPS Pre-K programs pretty good? Free is certainly attractive, but I recognize my kiddo is at a really important time with learning language. Her speech therapist here thinks my daughter will do well in DC. I'm fortunate she's doing as well as she is.  And yes, it would be fantastic to be so close to Gaulladet and other resources for Deaf/HOH people!

Super appreciate any info  you all are willing to keep giving.  I've gotten some worrisome reviews about I St NE (where that ADU apt is) and so am continuing to look in other close neighborhoods that may be safer and with great elementary options.  Murch, Peabody, Maury, and Ludlow Taylor all sound great. I know there's a bunch in NW DC too, but haven't looked into it too much.

Thx![/quote]
