[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We applied for a couple preschools with applications and play dates. Most of the families seem nice and the kids seem average/normal--no crazy meltdowns or violence! So how do the schools pick, aside from the obvious legacies/siblings/diversity/gender issues? [/quote] I'm curious too. Obviously if you get a strong letter from a board member/current family that probably can't hurt. There were some preschools we visited that seemed very engaged and interested in our child but there was one in particular where I felt like they barely noticed us/our child and it was a bit of an unorganized playdate --- maybe they already knew who they were accepting and had all the slots filled? For us, I definitely felt more connected with some over others -- i.e.: made a personal connection, felt more at ease etc. I wonder if those are the ones where we're more likely to be accepted. Guess we will see......just hope we get accepted to one![/quote]
