[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear what people are saying re: disruptive bringing kids. However, I didn't have an option except to bring my daughter, and it was interesting. She definitely had different reactions to different places. One preschool she just HATED - started crying instantly when we went in there. Also, it was interesting to see the staff interact with her. Two people at this preschool that she hated said to her "are you always this shy?" It was a big turnoff, and it made me thankful that I had brought her. When we did the tour at the preschool she ended up going to, she walked in an instantly smiled and wanted to play in the classrooms. That was a good sign to me.[/quote]

A preschool that can handle a visiting child is a preschool you want your child to attend.

Every one we visited told us in advance that it was fine to bring DC--I didn't ask, they mentioned it. They wanted the child there, likely so they could see how she reacted. They're probably assessing your kid as much as you're assessing their preschool.

The one we ended up choosing was the one where DC walked over and plopped down happily at the edge of the group when we visited one classroom where they were starting a circle time with the teacher reading a story. DC loved stories, so sat and listened. The director who was showing us around had said it was OK for me to let go of DC's hand and let her go to the group. The director asked, oh, does she know some of these children already? Nope, she was just super comfortable there.
