[quote=Anonymous]My older child went to a farther away preschool (though it was closer to 15-20 min drive than 25) because we really loved the school and it was the only one like it where we lived (it was a co-op style school so parents volunteered in the school/classrooms a lot plus it was just a really nice community of people and we had several friends also going there). We would've made the same school choice for my younger child because we loved it so much but we moved to a different state by the time my younger child was starting preschool so we had to find a different school anyway. Second time, we picked a school 5 minute drive away primarily due to the short commute. We also liked the school itself but I realized based on our older child's preschool experience that my kids would be happy and do well in virtually any preschool environment. As long as there are nice teachers and a nice school community, any preschool should be good. You just want warm, kind, caring, patient teachers who truly love little kids. That's literally all preschool kids need to have a good preschool experience.

For us, the shorter commute was great because it gave me more time w/ my child her last year before going off to full day school and it allowed us more time to hang out w/ other kids from preschool since they all lived close by--we could just last minute decide to meet up at a playground or have an impromptu play date since we all lived near each other it was easy to make those social connections.[/quote]
