I think if you're wealthy with typically developing kids you plan to send to private school, and want to be around other families like that, you'll like NCRC.

I think this is true for a lot of preschools. They don't want to deal with it.

It does a disservice to those children when they head to K. The parent population is hit or miss. The school pushes private school on every family and touts their "outplacement program". It's a bit much. By the time my child went all the way through NCRC, my experience went from I LOVE this place to it's okay. I think there are other preschools that are just as good if not better than NCRC. Oh and if you are a financial aid family, you are treated differently than full pay by HOS and the other administrator and counselor. Full pay families rule the board and the school. They have special parties and fundraisers that financial aid families do not get invited to.
