Start looking for all relevant information regarding your choice on a preschool. Utilize friends, parents, neighbors, and the web to discover what types of preschools are good and to find the best preschools in your area.

Call your local Preschool Reference Agency and hear their suggestions based on your criteria. Then, call the preschools on your list and make appointments to visit.

Visit the preschools and check out the environment. Make sure to ask any questions regarding curriculum, facilities, accreditation, etc. Observe the interactions between faculty and students, students and students, the amount of parent involvement, etc. Make sure the preschool is right fit for you and your family.

Complete the application process and be placed on a waitlist if needed.

Once your child is in a preschool, remember to stay involved with your child’s teacher, the parent organizations and the school community.
