Does this strategy make sense?  [/quote]

Getting into TT private isn't something you do overnight, it is planned out over multiple years. I don't really know what preschool you are in and whether your child is competitive.

One big factor seems to be class size, but our public is close to meeting the 20 child/class mandate in the next couple of years, so I'm not too worried about, and many of the less competitive privates seem to be increasing their class sizes to the point where there's not a meaningful difference from a good public.

You are assuming it will have a positive impact rather than negative. Real estate is limited at public schools. Are they going to limit the amount of child who get in, will they have classes in the gym, will they ask for an exception and continue as is, etc...

My husband thinks we should apply more broadly to 2T schools as well (his work network are overwhelmingly private school parents, and seem to be horrified by the idea of their kids going public) [/quote]

Your husband might think he is the equivalent of his colleagues, but it might not be the case as many come from wealthy families. [/quote]

You didn't answer any of my questions though? I'm aware that we're unlikely to get into a TT private, it was literally in my first sentence. What is the value of a 2T private over an excellent public?

I have looked into the issues you raised about our public school and have spoken to a PTA member at the school, and I am satisfied with the answers given. They are likely to reach the class size mandate by 2028 without any space issues. [/quote]
