Then a friend of mine who lives in Howard County, Md. unfortunately said his children go to a sort of co-op day care, where the parents come in daily and help set up, and that saves the school the expense of hiring another teacher/assistant, and he pays $115/month.

Do you think that's a result of where he lives, or is that something that's available locally and I was just looking at the wrong type of places? I

'd be willing to go much higher than $115/month per kid, so long as it's not $800/month per kid.

FWIW, we go to church locally but there is no day care program.

St. Paul's School has an MDO Cooperative. I think it is in that range. We did not know about it when our kid was two. Call it's worth a try.

We are on the waiting list for St. Paul's School in Haymarket, a small jump from I-66 which if we can get our daughter in will make it so much easier. It may be non-denominational, but there are a lot of Catholic families that send their kids there. St. Paul's School came highly recommended to us.

We would prefer it over Linton Hall because of the student teacher ratio. At Linton Hall the ratio for Kindergarten is 25: 1 and from what I have been told at Saint Paul's it is 8:1 Their elementary grades are more impressive. Look at teacher-student ratio when considering schools and preschools.

Renaissance Montessori School : Home
which is in the city of Manassas, very close to All Saints

and
Linton Hall School
which is just outside of Manassas in Bristow. Linton Hall is right off the 619. If you take follow the 619 about 25 minutes, it takes you right to the front gate at Quantico. Lots of nice, family friendly neighborhoods in Bristow
