PP, you write the exact same thing every time admission season rolls around. Do you wait for just the right moment? That has been gone for years already. Move along!

Does Sidwell still spring that parental essay at the end of the tour? We walked out when they did that and scratched Sidwell off our list.

Who cares if you look foolish?
The only factors should be whether you think you'll get more out of the visit if you are without your child; or on the flip side if your child is old enough that s/he should come along in order to form his or her own opinion.
PLease, a four year-old isn't going to form an opinion from an open house.

We went to the MS Open house and 90% (or more) of the families I saw there for our grade brought their child with them.

We went to an open house there last year, not one person brought their child. In fact, we have been to quite a few open houses, and very few brought children, and these usually were not the applicant but a younger sibling who wasn't in school or day care.

I would wait until you've submitted the application and they set up the child visit day.
