We have a 1-year old DD and are starting to think about pre-schools. We would love to try for St Ignatius. I hear that they accept children as young as 2.5 or the following year, but that they have fewer spots for 3-3.5 year-olds. 2.5 sounds so young for pre-school... Did anyone here send their kids there? Do you like it? How was the process like? tia

- I also heard it was terrific, but checked out several other preschools as well. Process was straightforward: we applied, DC was "interviewed"/we were given a tour, loved it, got in and are happy about it.
