Again, the Learning Lab program for ECE is covered by the Head Start grant that DCPS receives. The school does not fund this through local funds. Other schools that have the ECE Learning Lab include Beers, LaSalle Backus, Powell, Turner, and Savoy.


What is this learning lab about? Is it like a coaching program or...something else?

I don't know why you're making a big deal of this. Most people don't know or care what's funded federally vs. locally.

Yeah Seaton is still a Title I school. DCPS central office is able to fund ECE instructional coaches and family services specialists through the Head Start grant that DCPS receives. The original goal for family services was to support Head Start eligible families.

For PK3? It's pretty good, not 100%. In the initial lottery only a handful OOB are admitted, but most get an offer before October.

The new Mundo Verde offering so many PK3 seats may make it an easier year to get in to area schools.

Great question! Yes the play dates will take place on the playground in front of the schoool. I highly recommend coming, it helps to begin the transition to the Langley school family and makes the first day of school so much easier.

Sorry for a stupid question, but where are these playdates? The playground in front of the school?

Garrison also has a full time coaches for ECE and one devoted to literacy instruction. They are in their first year of school-wide Conscious Discipline and also have a partnership with Kindred, a nonprofit focused on training families and staff to have courageous conversations about race.
