[quote=Anonymous]Take a deep breath and realize that it is truly impossible to gauge what school will be the perfect fit for K, much less 3rd grade or 11th grade for a kid that is now only 3. So realize that the first school may not be the last or even second to last school, even if it happens to go from PK through 12.  We used an educational consultant when switching schools in elementary school and really she didn't tell us anything we didn't know, but if you have the money and it decreases the stress, then no downside really.

Frankly the only "fit" that seems to matter for PK is the family with the school not the kid. The programs for PK are really not all that different anywhere, the experience much more a random combination of the particular group of kids in the class and how great the teacher is or is not.

There are loads of great options locally, but this is not an irrevocable decision and therefore try to approach in a relaxed way, read DCUM only rarely, and while drinking wine, and good luck. [/quote]
