I have friends at Communikids GP and they're very happy (though outdoor space is less than ideal). I've heard good things about Appletree but it tends to be more academic. Honestly, for PK3, I'd recommend whatever is a better commute.

We're going to do Apple Tree based on the commute and location. We don't want to have to deal with Wisconsin Ave to get to CommuniKids and the building is kind of oddly placed.

Apple Tree has the added benefit of being next to Bluestone Lane, Millie's, and a bunch of retail.

From asking around, both schools were spoken of highly. No clear drawbacks to either from friends of friends we heard from. 👍

Hi, looking into these schools for pre-k for our daughter and I'm curious what you chose to do.

Hi, we're trying to decide between Apple Tree Spring Valley and CommuniKids Glover Park for Pre-K for our 3.5yo girl.

Does anyone have experience with either Pre-K and has the Pros and Cons?

We're a little concerned about the Spanish, French or Mandarin immersion curriculum at CommuniKids since my husband and I don't speak those languages. But Apple Tree has a uniform that our princess/ballerina girl might not take to.

Please let me know your thoughts! Appreciate it!
