National Child Research Center (NCRC Preschool) 3209 Highland Place Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20008

"From the fun at the Pajama Picnic, to the Pumpkin Party and every event in between, not to mention the teachers and staff that have created a love of learning for my now Kindergartener, we had no idea how much one pre-school could prepare our children for the future. As a same sex couple with two adopted children, we looked for a school environment that was not only had a strong level of diversity, but one that was warm, inclusive and truly on the edge of critical teaching skills. NCRC has exceeded every one of our expectations and have turned my husband and I in to people we never thought we would be - champions of a pre-school!"

"NCRC’s commitment to inclusion, diversity, and respect for each child as an individual is what originally brought our family to the school. Little did we know how our eyes would be opened to the outstanding level of teaching and curriculum, the joyful and warm feeling of the school, and a community of parents and teachers that have made NCRC feel like home."

"We were lucky enough to have our two children attend this wonderful preschool. It is truly a magical place, full of amazing teachers, families and students from all backgrounds. As a former teacher, I can say that the education received here will serve my children for life."

"Our kids had a one of a kind experience - the highly trained teachers and staff instilled a love of learning for our two kids. Further, the inclusive classroom taught our kids, in a hands on way, what it means to be empathetic, kind and open to children and adults of all backgrounds. Couldn't be happier - and our kids still beg to go visit! Such a special and unique first stop for school :)"

"This is a great school!! I don't know that there really is anything else like it. The staff really care about the children, engaging them during, before, and after school. I feel a sense of certitude that my child is having a great time while there, learning and building friendships. The head of school is especially amazing, She is there to greet parents with a warm hug and a smile and it just makes my day to leave my son in the care of people who really care!! All the teachers bring their own style to the table but the underlining theme is consistent, celebrate love of learning, celebrate diversity and be the best you you can be!!"
