[quote=Anonymous]We didn't get into any of our top 3 preschools (3's class) for the fall and so paid a non-refundable deposit ($350) for a spot at a preschool (PS1) located between work and home. Some of our concerns with PS1 are: larger classes (20 kids), older building, quality of food (a little bit more processed than I'd prefer). But the kids seem really happy, and we know a couple families that are either currently there or will be starting in the fall as well, and everyone has good things to say. Needless to say, they had openings, and so we put down the deposit to hold a spot for the fall.

So another preschool (PS2) offered us a spot this week. This program is closer to my work (like 2 blocks away) but is in an even older building. It's a smaller overall program and has 15 kids in the 3's class. The outdoor space seems a bit lacking, but the food provided is a bit healthier. It doesn't seem to be any "better" than PS1, and my gut tells me that it might be a touch worse in terms of the "curriculum"... But, it's $200 cheaper per month. They would require a $300 deposit to hold a spot for the fall.

If we get off the waitlist of any of our top 3 choices, we will likely take a spot at one of those places.

Given all of this information, what would you choose? My gut says to just stay with PS1, but my head says to save the money and go with PS2.[/quote]
