Think you missed the boat? Think again!
It's April. Do you know where your preschool is?
More accurately, do you know where your child is going to preschool? Perhaps you've been made to feel that if you can't answer that question, you're out of luck. This is Northern Virginia, after all -- home of the overscheduled child and pre-birth wait list, correct?
The truth is, many preschools start having openings at around this time. Between relocations, changing needs in childcare, and plans simply changing, a preschool population can be an ever-evolving thing. There is also a direct correlation between the increasing number of openings and a dwindling wait list -- due to the same reasons!
If you are interested in Dulin Cooperative Preschool but feel it's too late to hope for a spot, think again. We welcome your application at any time, and are happy to give you updates on where you stand on the list over the next few months. Don't believe us? Just ask our very own Membership chair, Ellen Brophy. Ellen herself was on the wait list for the 3s class until the August before school started.
Ready to apply? Email dulinpreschool@gmail.com.

Dulin Web site update
Hello again and happy spring from Dulin Preschool!
Lately we've been having to try publicity 1980s style, without our Web site. Our Web host and designer ran into technical difficulties, so we're starting from the ground up. At an all-volunteer organization, finding the time and expertise to do this isn't always easy! Luckily, we found a wonderful local Web designer and hired her to completely revamp the look of dulinpreschool.org. In the meantime, we're working on pulling information from all our various sources.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about Dulin Preschool, please contact our Membership chair, Ellen Brophy, at dulinpreschool AT gmail DOT com. We are also working to keep our Facebook and Twitter pages more up-to-date.

Open House is tomorrow, February 4!
First off, I'd like to know exactly who decided that preschool admissions open season should be in January. It's bad enough if you're interested at one of those schools that forces you to camp out in the parking lot for days. At Dulin Preschool, our impartial, democratic, and 100% indoors process isn't affected by weather, but we have no control over ice storms that shut down every school, public and private in the DC area.
So Open House is now TOMORROW, Feb. 4, starting at 10 a.m. We look forward to seeing you then, and showing you just how special a school Dulin is. Questions before that time? Email Ellen Brophy at dulinpreschool@gmail.com. Oh, and be the first to mention the Dulin Preschool blog to Ellen at Open House and win a free child-sized Dulin t-shirt!

Our Web site is back ... sort of.

- Interested in applying for 2009-10? Come to our Open House on Wednesday, January 28, at 10 a.m. No reservations are necessary -- just show up!
- If you would like an application to fill out in advance of Open House, or if you're reading this after January 28, email Membership Chair Ellen Brophy at dulinpreschool AT gmail.com.
