What to Look For in a Preschool

Just thinking about selecting a preschool for your child can bring on anxiety. We all want to set our children up for success and know the right preschool can get our children started on the right path. However, it seems like there are endless factors to consider about preschools. Check out our top three components to consider. 

Determine Wants & Needs

To find the best preschool for your child and your family, you’ll need to determine your “must haves” and your “nice to haves.” When building your wants and needs list, consider factors like classroom environment, schedule, culture, and any special accommodations your child might need.

Gather Recommendations

When it’s time to start looking for a preschool, do your research! Talk with friends, family, and neighbors to hear about their good and not so good experiences at preschools in your area. Use this feedback to compile a list of schools you might be interested in. If you don’t know anyone with preschool recommendations, checking out websites with ratings and reviews is a good place to start.

Visit

After you narrow down your preschool list based on your child’s needs and the recommendations you’ve gathered, it’s time to visit and ask questions. Visiting a preschool is the best way to get a feel for it and see everything first-hand. When you walk around the preschool, take note of the facilities and the way the staff interacts with each other and the children. Make sure to ask questions about the curriculum, schedule, student to teacher ratio, and cost to help you in making a decision. Use our Preschool Comparison Checklist as you tour each school.

Using these components as guiding principles, you are sure to find a preschool that is a great fit for your child! Keep in mind what is most important, do your research, and go with the place that you feel most comfortable leaving your child every day.
