7 Tips for How to Choose a Preschool for Your Child

Choosing a preschool for your child can seem like such an overwhelming task. These tips will guide you through how to choose a preschool that’s right for your family.

If you’re a regular reader of Fun-A-Day, you know I have more than 10 years’ experience in early childhood education.  I’ve taught kindergarten, Reading Recovery, and pre-kindergarten.  So it’s not surprising that I’m often asked for advice for choosing a preschool.

Even with all of my own experience in early childhood education, I remember agonizing over where to send my son to preschool. Of course, that agonizing decision led to years of teaching preschool with some amazing teachers.

I wanted to make things easier for my fellow parents, so here are 7 tips for how to choose a preschool that suits your child.

First, narrow down your options by looking at location, hours, and price.   Every family is different, so these considerations will vary based on your needs.  Once you’ve narrowed it down to a few preschools, schedule a tour.  The first tour is best done without the kiddos so you can focus on observing and asking questions.

While you’re touring the preschool, keep these seven factors in mind.  They will be instrumental in choosing a preschool that’s the best fit for your child.

Of the items on this list, preschool staff is definitely the most important!  Keep an eye out for:

Teachers should get down to the students’ eye-level when talking.  It’s also important to see real conversations taking place between the staff and the children.  This shows a real interest in what the children have to say, as well as a real interest in the kids themselves.

This can be seen in so many ways when you’re touring a preschool.   You should see smiles and hear laughter in the classrooms.  The staff members should be really listening to the students.  There should be lots of interactions between teachers and students, as well as between students and their peers.  Hugs, high fives, and encouraging words are great indicators too.

This is much harder to ascertain just from observing.  Talk to the teachers, if at all possible, and a love for teaching will usually shine through!  Ask the preschool director about the school’s turnover rate.  If many of the teachers have been there for years, that’s a good sign.

The preschool director should be able to provide information about CPR training for teachers, as well as what professional development the staff receives.

Ask the preschool director about the school’s emergency plans, as well as the teacher-student ratios.   Take a look at the playground while you’re touring, too.

The kiddos need to be comfortable while their little brains are growing.

The rooms don’t need to be huge, but they should be adequately sized for the amount of kids there.

Look for words labeling parts of the classroom and lots of books.  Watch for teachers writing down children’s stories and look for kid-made books.  These are just a few ways to spot a print-rich environment.

Students’ art, writing, building creations, and pictures should be evident around the classroom.  It should feel like a space that belongs to them.

Ask the director about a school handbook, as well as their communication habits.   A handbook fills parents in on what to expect from the school.  Monthly newsletters, calendars, and emails may be some ways the school communicates with parents.

Find out how individual teachers communicate with parents.  It could be via daily notes, weekly emails, or communication apps.  Remember there’s no one “right” way, but it’s important to keep the classroom connected to the home.

5. BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

Be sure to ask the director what behavioral guidelines are in place in the preschool classroom.  There should be age-appropriate expectations, along with clear rules and consequences.  Additionally, ask about how the staff teaches children to solve problems with their peers.

Children learn through play, so this is incredibly important!  How much time is built in for the children to do just that?  Often, this is referred to as “center time” or “choice time”.   It’s the part of the day when children explore tons of concepts in small groups — maybe they’re building in the block center, telling a story about wild animals in the arctic, or exploring their names.

The children should have some time together as a class, often called “circle time” or “calendar time”.  There should be time for teachers to share books with the children, as well as time for the children to play in small groups.  Children should also have some small group or one-on-one time with the teacher.

The kiddos need to be playing, running, climbing, riding bikes, etc. outside each and every day!

Please keep in mind — a preschool curriculum does NOT need to be purchased from a store. However, the director and teachers should know the goals for each age group in the preschool.  These goals should be appropriate for the kids’ ages.

Again, children learn through play.  Their little bodies need to be fully immersed in the learning.  Children should be holding books, touching blocks, moving math manipulatives, listening to music, dancing, etc.  They definitely don’t need to be sitting down and filling in worksheets day after day.

Music, arts and crafts, lots of books, real pre-writing and writing activities, language experiences, sensory play, science experiments, etc.!  Obviously, every day doesn’t need to include every single topic.  But the preschool curriculum should focus on well-rounded children!

I’m sure by now it’s obvious I have some definite opinions about how to choose a preschool!  Hopefully I was able to help you focus your thoughts about picking the preschool that’s best for your child.

If you’re child’s already enrolled, how did you go about choosing a preschool?  Are there any points you would add to my list?  I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

What is preschool

Preschool, also known as nursery school or pre-k, is a facility that provides early childhood education to young children until they are old enough to start kindergarten.

Preschool learning is not mandatory and most preschools are private organizations. Parents who want to send their children to preschool need to look for suitable facilities and pay for the expenses themselves.

Some states offer public early childhood programs such as Pre-K or Transitional Kindergarten, but availability varies by state.

For more help on calming tantrums, check out this step-by-step guide

Is preschool considered a school

Preschools are not accredited schools. In most states, preschools are considered child care centers. They are required to obtain a Child Care license and meet state safety requirements.

For some types of preschool, such as Montessori, there are organizations that provide accreditation to preschools that meet their standards. But getting accredited is not a requirement for Montessori schools to operate.

Preschool Age Requirements

Each preschool has its own age requirement. Typically, they require the child to be at least two years old to enroll. The most common preschool-age requirement is age three.

In general, 3 years old is the age when children can begin to benefit from being a part of a group. This is when kids begin to engage in reciprocal relationships and show less separation anxiety when they’re away from their mothers.

Some preschools also require the child to be potty-trained. Most children are potty-trained by the age of three, which coincides with the age when they can start benefiting from the new settings.

When Should Parents Apply

Many preschools, especially reputable ones, have long waiting lists. You may need to apply even before your child is at the required age to secure a place. Make sure you check with each preschool for their application deadline, too.

How much does preschool cost

Preschool cost varies by type and location.

Private preschools tend to be expensive. Here in Peninsula, California, private preschools can cost up to $1200 – $2500 per month.

Co-op preschools are run by parent volunteers. They are usually less expensive but parents need to contribute their time in exchange for the lower rate.

Transitional kindergarten / Pre-K, mentioned above, is offered publicly free to children, but the requirements are different by state. For instance, in New York, all four-year-olds can apply for Pre-K. But in California, only children whose birthdays fall in a specific range are eligible.

Head Start is a federally funded program that provides free comprehensive early learning and family support to preschool-aged children from low-income families. However, their funding levels aren’t always sufficient to provide access to all eligible children. Apply as early as possible if you are eligible.

Why is preschool important

Studies show that early childhood education in general increases a child’s cognitive development, reduces grade retention, and improve behavior during elementary years^​1​.

Some studies even find that when these students grow up, they tend to involve less in delinquency and are more likely to have a skilled job^​2​.

Research also finds that kindergarten readiness is a reliable predictor of future school performance^​3​.

Preschool philosophies

There are different types of preschool based on different teaching philosophies. Some of the most popular ones in the US are Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, and play-based.

How to choose a preschool

Parents should choose a preschool based on the quality of the teachers, the policy enforced by the preschool Director, resources, the overall environment, and fit for your child, not so much on its written education philosophy.

Oftentimes, when you talk to preschool directors, you will find that they like to emphasize their education method.

Parents are, therefore, led to believe that they should pick the right preschool based on the marketed philosophy.

However, preschools do not need any accreditation to use the names of those education methods. Subscribing to philosophy does not guarantee it will deliver the same type or the same quality across the board.

Your child’s experience will mostly be shaped by the teachers, the environment, and the policies of the preschool.

It is more important to understand how the teachers are interpreting and incorporating that philosophy into their teaching than whether they have a certain buzzword in their marketing brochure.

To choose a good preschool, after narrowing down several that fit your budget, schedule, and commute, schedule a tour. During your visit, talk to the teachers and staff. Observe closely to see if they meet the criteria in the next section.

What a parent should look for to find a good preschool

The National Institute Of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has studied the issue of early child care for decades.

It has consistently been found that the quality of child care centers (including preschool) is highly correlated to the outcomes of the child later​4​. It is prudent to find a high-quality preschool for your child.

The NICHD has found that fewer than 10% of the facilities it surveyed fall in the “very high quality” category. That means most preschools are mediocre and some are even low in quality.

Parents have the important job of spotting the right one among many options. Fortunately, preschool quality is very easy to assess if you know what to look for.

Here are the criteria of a high-quality preschool according to research.

1. Teachers have formal post-high school training

Studies find that higher teacher education predicts higher quality care. Look for teachers who have formal post-high school training, such as a 4-year college degree in child development, early childhood education, or a related field that addresses developmental needs of preschool children^​4​.

2. Teachers are positive and caring

Early childhood learning is built on trusting relationships. Studies confirm that when teachers are positive and caring, children learn better and their development is more advanced^​5​.

Positive teachers are happy and in good spirits. They are upbeat, helpful, and smile often at the kids. They may pat a child on the back or hold their hands.

The teachers also repeat the child’s words, comment on what they say or try to say. They answer children’s questions and they don’t dismiss or ignore their concerns. Positive teachers are nurturing. They don’t engage in negative interaction such as scolding or yelling at the child.

3. Teaching is interactive and engaging

Look at how teachers interact with the child during class.

Teachers should interact positively and frequently with the children. They ask thought-provoking questions and help kids to think deeper. They encourage children to talk. They also praise the child’s positive actions and inspire them to learn.

Teachers should be engaging rather than merely lecturing. They may sing songs, tell stories, read books or describe events. They use games and crafts to teach, and allow children to be active contributors to the classroom.

Besides academic topics such as alphabets, counting, and shapes, teachers should also cover daily life knowledge^​3​.

4. Use positive discipline and patiently guide the child’s behavior

Ask the school for a clear explanation of the discipline policy.

All preschoolers are developing self-regulation and social skills. They need help to learn social rules and the words to express frustration. Good teachers should practice positive discipline. They should enforce discipline by patiently explaining and teaching, not by punishing.

Under no circumstances should children be physically punished or given a punitive time-out.

Free playing has been proven to be one of the best ways for preschoolers to learn^​6​.

Playing and physical activities stimulate brain growth and enhance early development^​7​. Free play promotes prosocial behavior and allows children to develop social competence^​8,9​.

Look for a play to learn preschool that not only incorporates plenty of free playing time in their schedule but also has teachers who proactively guide conflict resolution and facilitate social learning (rather than just letting preschoolers “figure it out” on their own, because they can’t).

Things to look out for

The child’s behavior may become worse if the preschool quality is low

Although attending preschool is associated with better cognitive development and social competence, studies show that the child’s behavior may worsen if the preschool is lower in quality.

This is another reason why parents should make an effort to look for a good preschool.

Pay an unannounced visit

Sometimes, what we see during a school tour may not be the real deal. When there are visitors, we all tend to be on our best behavior. That includes teachers.

Drop in during class time unannounced and see if you like the way the preschool runs when there are no other visitors. A quality preschool should have teachers who act the same way whether there are visitors or not.

Ask about teacher support and turnover

Teaching young children is a tough job and teachers should be paid fairly. It is hard to be a happy teacher when you are underpaid.

Ask the director about how the preschool supports its staff in terms of livable compensation, benefits, and professional development. Also check their teacher turnover rate as a high turnover is a sign of systemic problems.

Talk to other parents but keep an open mind

Talk to current and past parents if you can. But know that not everyone has the same definition of quality. You may have to ask more specific questions to get an accurate picture.

Verify the license is up-to-date

In the US, every child care facility needs to meet a set of safety standards to be licensed. Occasionally, some preschools let their licenses lapse.

Before finalizing your decision, check if the preschool has an up-to-date license. A preschool that doesn’t renew its license should raise a red flag (or worse, some are unlicensed).

How to choose a kindergarten: seven questions to ask a teacher

Choosing a good kindergarten is difficult for almost all parents. You have to pay attention to many things at once, but without experience it is difficult to foresee everything. Montessori teacher of the Parus kindergarten Olga Goncharova tells what you should definitely pay attention to and what questions to ask teachers.

I often communicate with my parents, I know their concerns. Therefore, I want to tell you what is best to focus on when choosing a kindergarten. Let's leave aside the fact that many simply have no choice if they decide to send their child to a municipal kindergarten. Then you have to go where there is a place. I will tell you about a private kindergarten, since there are also a lot of them, and often it is not clear to parents which kindergarten to choose.

The first thing to understand and rethink. A kindergarten is not only a place where a child just spends time, where he is fed and looked after in the absence of his parents. Kindergarten is a place where a child develops basic life skills and principles for later life. Therefore, it is very important that he feels himself in the garden in a safe, comfortable environment that promotes trust between him and his caregivers and nannies. A child in kindergarten learns to interact with adults and other children, learns to be part of society. Therefore, it is very important how exactly this process is built in a particular garden.

1. Ask teachers how children spend their day in the garden

Do they have free time when they can contact other children. Do they give them the opportunity to choose an occupation that interests them, or is it always up to the teacher. How can a child take initiative? How can he show his inclinations towards creativity?

Based on the answers to these questions, it will become clear which pedagogical model the kindergarten adheres to: directive or democratic. And I would recommend making a choice in favor of a democratic model (of course, if you do not have plans to raise a weak-willed, lack of initiative, irresponsible and incapable of making independent decisions).

There is no secret that all young children tend to fight, swear, take things from others. This is a perfectly normal part of growing up and socializing. But a lot depends on how the adult environment reacts to such behavior. It is this reaction of an adult that helps a child learn one or another way of acting in specific situations.

Ask the teacher what they usually do in the garden if the children fight or one tries to take something away from the other. If the educator can’t really say anything on this topic, then most likely conflicts are resolved according to the “classic scheme”: “give it back and get out of here!” or "both in the corner!". That is, the child is not offered a correct, constructive model of behavior in a conflict situation, which can be a positive example for building his further relations with the world.

3. How independence is (and is) developed in kindergarten

Pay special attention to how much space and time during the day is devoted to activities that help the child become independent. Is the educational process built in such a way that the child has many opportunities to show independence, or is he rigidly included in the directive framework throughout the day.

The acquisition of independence by a child, oddly enough, requires huge human resources and costs. That is, it is always easier for educators (as well as parents) to do it themselves than to wait until the child does it. Therefore, be sure to ask teachers a direct question: “What can your children do on their own, and how exactly do they do it?”. There may be options: they choose their own occupation, clean up toys and wash dishes after themselves, dress themselves. In the worst case, everything for the child - from choosing an activity to cleaning up after him - is done by adults. This is only good for those who want to raise a dependent and non-initiative child.

Is there anything that promotes the development of self-reliance skills, responsibility, communication with others, whether the child has a choice, and what it is. For example, if every 40 minutes children are supposed to have classes, this means that children work only on instructions and are deprived of freedom of choice. If the child is constantly busy, loaded - this is not bad, because he is most likely not bored. But at the same time, even if he becomes richer in terms of knowledge, he does not acquire communication skills. It is unlikely that from the knowledge thus obtained, he will gain confidence in his own abilities and be able to apply them somewhere else.

The prescriptive scheme for organizing classes in kindergarten does not contribute to the development of the child's personality, slows down the formation of his social skills and self-service skills.

5. Pay attention to the area of ​​the room

If the rooms (rooms) are small, then even ten children will feel uncomfortable staying there all day. The garden space should be spacious enough so that the children feel the space around them, so that they have the opportunity to be alone, to play alone. Ideally, a comfortable space is 4 sq. m. per child. If the room of the group is 20 meters, and a group of ten children works on this area, this is objectively small. Even in the case of a small group, it will be difficult for children to be there all day.

Find out how teachers give feedback to parents. These are just general words “We are fine, we eat normally” or these are regular parent meetings, individual regular communication about the child’s progress and his possible problems.

The teacher should give parents detailed feedback on how their child is developing, where he is moving, what his zone of proximal development is now. If all this does not happen, then it is impossible to talk about a developing kindergarten. It's more like a child's place of residence, some kind of animation - nothing more.

If all communication is directive, there are only instructions in it, this means that the child has little chance of trusting these teachers and this place. It is unlikely that he will be able to find an outlet here and feel comfortable, since a teacher for him will always be a mentor with a carrot and a stick, and not an assistant in finding himself and establishing contact with the world.

Choosing a kindergarten is a complex, important and lengthy process. If you plan that your child should start going to kindergarten from September 1 of the current year, you must select a suitable preschool institution in advance and submit documents between February 1 and May 31.

"Social Navigator" has prepared a number of general tips that can make it easier for parents to choose an organization of preschool education.

At the moment, in large cities, the situation has developed in such a way that the choice of preschool education directly affects the school where the child will be and continue his education. This is primarily due to the fact that many kindergartens are assigned to schools. It’s worth thinking about it now, because the closer to the age when a child should go to first grade, the more difficult it is to find a suitable option.

Kindergartens of Russia - 2017

Of course, all parents start looking for a place for their child from what is within walking distance. This aspect is one of the most relevant when choosing a kindergarten, which is confirmed by the results of the ONF survey. A large distance between the house and the garden will create additional difficulties. This may affect the attendance of children. At the same time, the territorial accessibility of our kindergartens is assessed as high, more than half of the parents get to preschool institutions on foot. Some families who pay special attention to this issue even change their place of residence in connection with the birth of children.

Kindergarten staff

A well-located kindergarten is an important but not a key issue. The most important thing is the staffing. Here you need to pay attention to teachers: do they have a higher pedagogical education, an appropriate (preschool) education. Of course, the human factor cannot be ruled out, you need to try to get to know each other personally, to get to know the future teacher better.

Kindergartens: strengths and weaknesses of early childhood education

It is worth choosing a kindergarten where there is a full-time psychologist. The importance of the constant work of a specialized teacher with your child cannot be underestimated.

You also need to pay attention to the presence of a nurse: in general, the situation here is positive. In approximately 75% of cases, there are people who are ready to provide first aid to children.

There is a staffing problem in the regions: local authorities are fighting queues for kindergartens not at the expense of new buildings, but by increasing the density of groups. Therefore, the number of children in one group can sometimes reach up to 45 people, with an average of 25. Therefore, it is worth choosing the kindergarten where the ratio of teaching staff and support staff (cooks, cleaners) is better in relation to children.

Education

Next, you should pay attention to the program used by the preschool educational organization. Among the comprehensive programs (covering all five educational areas and aimed at the versatile development of the child's personality) are:

• "From birth to school" edited by N.E. Veraksa, T.S. Komarova, M.A. Vasilyeva.
• "Childhood" edited by T.I. Babaeva, A.G. Gogoberidze, O.V. Sun
• "Origin" edited by L. A. Paramonova

Of the partial programs (covering one of the educational areas and aimed at the local development of any ability or skill), the most common are:

• "Basic safety for preschool children" Avdeeva, O.L. Knyazeva, R.B. Sterkin
• "Young Ecologist" S.N. Nikolaeva
• "Colored hands" I.A. Lykova
• "Musical Masterpieces" by O.P. Radynova

The above programs are the most popular and most often used in kindergartens, however, each parent must choose the appropriate education plan for their child individually, based on the child's preferences, strengths and weaknesses.
