[quote=Anonymous]The thing your child needs most right now from preschool is social interaction. Learning to interact and get along with other kids when the social situations aren't so controlled (e.g., not just playdates with pre-approved friends with parents closely supervising). A variety of activities to give them stimulation. Outdoor play is more important than drilling them on math skills. If learning Spanish were important to you, you'd probably also be looking into Spanish immersion for kindergarten and would already have decided it's a priority. Ultimately, go with your gut. Does the school feel friendly and welcoming? Do kids seem comfortable with the staff? Those are key. Also, don't dismiss proximity. Even with a nanny to drive your child there and back, if your child makes friends and wants to do playdates, it's much easier if the families lives relatively close to you because no one wants to drive across the river for that.[/quote]
