How Do You Choose?

In my sessions with preschool parents, I talk a lot about tips for choosing the right school fit for your family, how to look beyond the gossip, and how to evaluate a successful school. In my research, I came across this interesting article published in the Atlantic a few years ago. It has some great advice for why it’s important to look at the data and ask tough questions when you are touring schools. Happy reading! And if you don’t have it already download my School Visit Checklist to help you on your school tours.
