There are so many factors to consider when looking for a preschool! If you’re like most parents, you want to send your child to a great preschool so they have a great educational start. Here are three key components to look for when you’re searching for a preschool.
Determine Wants & Needs
Determining what you need and want in a preschool will help you stay focused on the search! Consider factors like classroom environment, schedule, culture, and any special accommodations your child might need while you come up with your list.
Gather Recommendations
Once you’ve started building a list of preschools that you think will meet your child’s needs, do your research! Talking to friends, family, and neighbors is one of the best ways to hear about real-life experiences at the preschools in your area. New to the area or don’t know anyone with preschool experiences? Head to the Internet to check out sites with ratings, reviews, and preschool accreditations.
Visit
After cross-referencing your needs list with the recommendations you’ve gathered, identify the schools at the top of your list that you’d like to visit! Visiting a preschool is a great way to get a feel for the school and ask questions that are hard to find answers to online. While touring, take note of the facilities and the way the staff interacts with each other and the children. Don’t forget to ask questions about things like classroom schedule, curriculum, cost, and student to teacher ratio to help provide even more context for your decision. Use our Preschool Comparison Checklist as you tour different schools!
If you follow these three components, you will be armed and ready to make an informed decision about where to send your child for preschool! Don’t forget what is most important for you in a school and ultimately choose the place that will make you and your child most comfortable.
