DC Pre-Kindergarten Lottery 

Private Consultations 

Whether you have attended a LEAD Consulting group seminar or are just getting started, LEAD Consulting can help you navigate the DC public pre-k lottery process (DCPS, charter schools, and select community-based organizations.) Save yourself hours of research and receive a customized lottery list tailored to your family's needs and preferences. 

A Mini Consultation provides a 45-minute Zoom call on lottery basics, school data sources, and any questions. (No lottery list is provided with mini consults.) $75

A Basic Consultation is best for those who have already attended a group seminar or have already done some research. Basic consultations include a 30-minute Zoom call about your child, school preferences, and any questions. Families will then be provided a unique, ranked list of public schools (DCPS and Charter) that fit your family's preferences. $250

An Extended Consultation includes an in-person (or Zoom) 1-hour family meeting, focused on school types, the lottery process, and understanding family preferences. A data-driven list of public schools (DCPS and Charter) that fit your unique needs is then provided, with follow-up as needed. Families will also have access to up to 30 minutes of post-lottery e-mails / phone calls to discuss results. $350

A Post-Lottery Consultation is available for families who lotteried and are new to LEAD Consulting, as well as those who purchased a basic consult (but now need post-lottery / waitlist support.) $25-50 depending on complexity


Additional consultation options can be arranged upon request.

Feedback from past clients:

"Lindsay is clearly an expert on this topic. I was completely overwhelmed about the idea of looking into all of the different school options and narrowing down a list. Lindsay could not have been more professional throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by the school lottery process."

"[What was most helpful was] seeing the pros and cons list provided so we could determine which schools were worth going to an open house for. Having back and forth conversations as we narrowed our decision process. Excellent value for the price."

"Lindsay gave us exactly the sort of information we wanted to learn, she was thorough and thoughtful, and answered all of our questions."
