[quote=Anonymous]Do some research on what is developmentally appropriate for a 3 year old.  Go to open houses at the elite schools that you are interested in and ask them what they are looking for students when they enter kindergarten. That will give you a sense of what you are looking for in a preschool program.  I think you will be surprised at what they are actually looking for in students at the kindergarten level and it is not always the 3 or 4 year old that can read- it is the child that can focus, play well with others, follow directions etc.  I also suggest that you not stress your 3 year old out with attempts at overachieving because that can do the reverse of what you are looking to accomplish.  Learning at this age should be fun so that they want to learn and aren't frustrated by learning. They have their entire educational journey to be stressed out about school. I recommend looking for a play based preschool. Go to the private/independent school posts because if you want info about the "Big 3" or some other "elite" school you should post there also.
