[quote=Anonymous]Definitely too early to worry but not at all too early to check out your school(s)! We did that and, as PP mentioned, found our in-boundary school to be an excellent choice even if it wasn't the school of choice to tell from playground chatter. I think you have the right attitude about trying to find a way to look over and through that playground chatter. I continue to be stunned how misinformed that can be, sometimes from eons ago. Your best bet is to speak with current families about what they like and also to go check it out. If it's not a hyper-popular choice (thus increasing your chances to get a preschool spot), they'll let you sit in (bring a book and be a guest reader, don't bring your 1.5 yo.). You can also offer to volunteer so as to get to know the school and get invested in it. And then keep in mind that things change, mostly for the better, rarely for the worse. But principals leave, teachers may change, families move.[/quote]
