Questions to Ask When Choosing a Preschool

July 15, 2015 by OneMommy

 

 

Making the decision as to which preschool to choose can be a difficult one.  Several years ago, I got together with some other moms and compiled a list of questions to ask when choosing a preschool.  I’d like to share them with you today.

 

top questions to ask when choosing a preschool

Here are the top 10 questions to ask when choosing a preschool.

 

  1. The price. (This can be a big issue; some places are outrageous!)
  2. The class size and/or student to teacher ratio.
  3. Is the program learning through play based?
  4. Do I need to volunteer time or fundraise?  (I had never thought of this one!)
  5. Do they go on field trips?
  6. What are the disciplinary actions?
  7. What  safety precautions are taken? (How secure is the building they are in, and is it easy for a stranger to walk in?)
  8. Are the teachers all certified through the state?
  9. The school’s worldview and what will be taught.
  10. What is the sick policy? (Are children to stay home for at least a day after having a fever?)

 

If you have a little one, I hope this list of questions to ask when choosing a preschool helps.

    My best tip would be going to observe a class, that gave me the best idea of the atmosphere and philosophy of the school. And once your child starts, try to observe a bit at the beginning or end of class to get a better idea of how it’s going for him or her.

      Definitely agree — getting to observe a class is a big plus.
