NCRC offers an amazing education for gifted young minds and is basically a feeder for the top DC privates.

Yes. This is often overlooked.


And- bonus- it's easier to get accepted for preschool than PK or K! NPS and St. Pat's are both great schools that have preschools.

I really dont get the fascination with Country Day Mclean. When we toured it, it seemed more like a day care than a preschool. It also felt pretty dirty and a lot of the toys/tables were from ikea. For the prices they charge, I would expect much more.

I have never met more uptight, lame parents than those of kids at this school. If you are 50 and have a 4 year old, go for it.
