[quote=Anonymous]After being at one private, and looking to transfer to another with one experience behind us, I think here are things that made me at least look at a place at first, and then stay interested:

advertising does give that little blip of a reminder to put and keep a school on my list

exmissions

a sincere interest in my child

a good-enough playground so my child says this is a school he wants to attend

early access to technology, again so my child says this is a school he wants to attend

my having gotten a good understanding of the "mission" of the school - I think this is critical - I think a school needs to give parents an understanding of what the philosophy of the place is because parents will be running into it over and over - so, be it a commitment to episcopal principles, nurturing kids, serving gifted needs - whatever is your first and foremost principle, get this across and stick with it -- parents want to know what they are getting, and then they can work with it to the advantage of their particular child

having great communication with parents through email and the like so parents don't have to search out needed information - we are busy and something might just slip through the cracks and then our child is upset!  which we don't like

Hope this helps, and I am grateful someone is asking this question sincerely!
