i started researching pre-schools today, since open enrollment usually ends in February. supposedly, the demand for the better pre-schools in the area are greater than supply, resulting in years on the wait list.
some helpful links here and here. the girls will be just over 2yrs when the next school semester starts in september.
some of my preferences and limitations:
- christian base. learning with religion reinforced.
- same age class, not the montesorri mixed-ages trend. montessori is very popular with rave reviews, but i just cant quite envision 3-6yr olds relating well.
- good curriculum of arts, music, science, literacy and play
- age requirement under 3yrs old
- close by for drop and pick up
- part-time or 1/2 day option. they can transition to a full day the following year.
the best match is hunter mill country school. coincidentally,,eric went there for short period and has fond memories. they're not religion base, but has the extra perk of being on a 5-acre farm. the girls will love it (i'm a tad jealous i cant go :-)
will submit an application w/$100 non-refundable (ouch) deposit fee tmrw. oh, and request an on-site tour. we'll see how it goes.
