We brought our kids, but we also asked the preschools ahead of time.

Ours asked that we bring the child in for a playdate at another time.

^this was also the case for our pre-school (not public)

Ask the preschool. When I took the tour of the preschool they strongly suggested not to bring children so that we could focus on the presentation and have a meaningful tour and discussion without disruptions.

Ours did by necessity. It was ok, but would have preferred to have been able to give conversation with director my full attention.

I didn't bring mine.

Maybe if you decide to enroll there and want them to see it, after your initial tour and making a decision. But otherwise they're too distracting and you want to focus on observing, asking questions, etc.

No, because your child will see a lot of other kids playing and he won't be allowed to join them. It will be very confusing to him.

No, because a 2-4 year old's reaction to a preschool campus won't and shouldn't affect your decision about enrolling.

What do you mean by pre-school? Ours was a preschool-8th and the kids went to the classroom (basically for an evaluation) while we did the tour.

Did you bring your kid with you when you toured pre-schools?
