[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am starting to research private schools in the area for my son.  I have been reading many posts on this board about how it is really all about how your child fits into a school's particular philosophy.  My son will be entering kindergarten, so I don't really know what will work for him yet.  Can anyone give me some advice on what to look for and how it pertains to a child who has not started school yet?  [/quote]

Don't take the "fit" talk too seriously. After all, we are talking about a 5 year old, right. Provided your DC does not have any major self-management issues ( read : major ADD, is violent, or a total brat) your DC will probably fit in anywhere that has cool toys, a nice play ground and nice kids to play with, right. The term phrase " right fit " however is a euphamism for how YOU fit into the school in terms of what you bring to the table ( diversity( all forms: racial,socio-econ, GLBT, ethnic( foreign born), high profile professionally, wealth ( read: able to donate), alum status, or just really cute kid w/ great WIPPSI and knock out or very very sweet personality that will reflect very well on you and DH). Best of luck.[/quote]
