“Is my child ready for elementary school?”

If you’re the parent of a young child, or children, chances are you’ve asked yourself this question. In today’s world, we want to make sure that we’re giving our children every advantage and opportunity that we can. And that means ensuring that their education begins early—and gets off to the right start.

So how do you choose a preschool? There are many factors to consider, so you want to weigh your options carefully and make sure that you’re making the best decision for your family.

Here are a few things to ask about when selecting a preschool experience for your child:

  • Curriculum and learning experiences

  • Building safety and security

  • Physical fitness, indoor and outdoor activity

  • Healthy food selections

  • Extracurricular learning opportunities

  • Communication with families
