I was a parent of three year-olds and four year-olds at the school in 2010-2012 as well as 1999-2004. If you live in Chevy Chase West, you can't walk down the block without running into a family who has used the school either recently or in the past. The school and the two teachers are beloved and incredibly respected, ask anyone in the neighborhood. So sad that this woman/author did not follow the boy into the school and see how the teacher calmed him down and how he happily ate snack, joined his classmates at circle, and stayed for lunch bunch which ended some three hours later. I'm familiar with Edgemoor Wonders, CCPC, CCBC, and St. Columba's. You won't find two woman who are as knowledgeable as they are and who not only love the kids, but are committed to helping new unsure parents. Even though Somerset Elementary School (where many of the enrolled children eventually attend) has some excellent teachers, you won't find the same connection as you did with these two.
