Do you have a little one getting ready for their time to shine in a preschool setting? Or maybe you still have time and just want to know what’s out there? Either way, sending your child to preschool is a big step. When you choose the right school for your child’s mind and skills to expand, there’s more to it than bright colors and school supplies. What curriculum are they using? How big are the classrooms? What are their methods and techniques for teaching? Security measures? My advice? Make yourself a checklist of must-haves or deal breakers or find a premade one online, and of course, TOUR the school and meet the staff! Not sure where to start? That’s ok! I have a small roundup on Northern VA preschools to make this sensitive time easier.
