We had a couple of kids go through daycare and PK at CentroNia and were very happy with them. Great community!

Same with Communikids

FWIW my kid is enrolled in daycare at barbara chambers and they just sent a notice that OSSE told them that their CBO funding / program is not guaranteed for next year, so they recommended all parents to enroll in the lottery as a backup even if they were planning on doing a CBO

We toured CentroNia in Columbia Heights a few years back. We didn't end up enrolling (got into a DCPS) but the people seem very sweet. Barbara Chambers is often recommended, but very popular, and anecdotally, hard to get in.

I'm starting my research on CBOs and would love to hear which offer dual immersion, which are in the Petworth/Columbia heights area or walking distance, and general recommendations.

I know communikids is in Glover heights, cathedral coming, and tenleytown and offers Spanish, Mandarin, and French depending on the site.

I've heard advancing things about Estrellitas Montessori in 16th St heights.
