We are still waitlisted at Discovery Montessori preschool and beginning to wonder about the upcoming year. Was anyone on here waitlisted last year for the 3-yr-old slots and then later given a spot (not in the low income segment)? If so, I'm curious what number in the waitlist we are currently up to. Last year's list for the 3-yr-olds rolls over as this upcoming year's list for the 4-yr-old slots. Thanks for any insight.

the second--you are first on the wait list.

That's great. Where did you get in? We applied to all five that we are eligible for and so far have only received a wait list letter from one (Discovery). Nothing from anyone else.


We applied to Discovery as well and received our wait list letter last Friday. I would love to know your wait list number, if you wouldn't mind sharing. We are #13, and I have absolutely no idea how good or bad that is.

Any updates on the letters. We have not received any expect the waiting list from Discovery. I do not know if I should call all of them to find out.

Yesterday we got a wait list letter from Carlin Spring if that helps.

Has anyone heard back about APS preschool Montessori lottery results yet? Is there a separate lottery held at each elementary school? I wonder if email will be sent out in addition to snail mail? Yes, I know I could call and ask, but I don't want to bug them. I can't wait to hear!
