I feel it´s important to do a lot of research on the different philosophies of each different school. There is a lot out there. And it´s important to research them but don´t become obsessed with them. I feel all of them have the best interest of the child at heart and that´s what you really need to look at first. First and foremost, you really need to look at the family values and what´s important to your family. You need to kind of understand how your child will learn. Are they going to do better in a structured environment, academic environment or more of a free play kind of style, loose kind of education? It´s important to look at the environment. Do you feel safe and trusting in that environment, leaving your child there? It´s really important. Your family structure, it could be religious based that makes you decide on a certain preschool. Co-op, are you a parent who wants to volunteer a lot and be participating in your child´s education? Therefore, a co-op might be the best solution. So really look at your family structure and really think about that before making that decision.
