Good luck finding anything in the area for less than 300. Bungalows start at 400.

The LAMB South Dakota campus is near Ft.ToTten. About a 6 minute commute for is. Also close is Mary McLeod Bethune.

For what school? DC Bilingual? Maybe not to Ft. Totten, but this is the last year on their lease. The principal said at an event I attended that they would have to move.

Of course Yu Ying is very close to FT

the move rumor is not true

Op here. thanks for the replies and the reminder about Amos 2. Wanted to check that one. Anyone else know about a potential DC bilingual move?

CAPCS has a great Reggio Emilio preschool program in Ft. Totten. I think it's called Amos II. I considered sending my child there, but the reverse commute was too much.

I heard DC Bilingual may be moving there, too.

Look into Inspired Teaching PCS and Lee Montessori PCS; both are moving (Lee is opening) in Edgewood which is a couple of small neighborhoods to the south (still in Ward 5). LAMB PCS, Mundo Verde PCS, Stokes PCS, and Sela PCS are all language immersion schools in that side of DC. We live in Ward 5 and are very happy that our child goes to one of the above schools.

I would recommend Capital City.

Lasalle? Perry Street Prep? Sela? The first two aren't discussed at all, but you can find many threads on Sela.

P.S. Should have mentioned that I'm looking for preschool programs.

Don't hear much about them, but if anyone goes to school in the Ft. Totten vicinity, can you tell me about your school? I'm south of the neighborhood, but wondering if commuting there might be easier than into town.
