Finding The Best Preschools

We all know that early education is very important. A survey by The Perry Preschool Project shows that kids who graduate preschool have better high school graduation rates and better jobs in the future. There are many advantages to pre-K education, including learning new skills and social interaction. So this leaves parents with one important question: Which preschool should they select?

Parents have many preschools to choose from, especially if they live in or near a large city. Some have only been in operation for a few years, while others have been around for a very long time. Finding the best pre-K school is no easy feat. Here are three effective strategies that can help make this choice easier:

Referrals

The absolute best resource for finding the top-rated preschools in your area are parents with children who attended pre-K classes in recent years. These people have valuable insight into the program that they used (and maybe those that they didn't. After a few conservations, you will have a clearer understanding of the preschools you want to focus on.

Ranking Websites

Google "top-rated preschools in (your area)" and you will likely find two result categories: brick-and-mortar preschools and review websites. These websites will include reviews and rankings for a number of different preschools in your local area. This doesn't mean you need to instantly choose the #1 pre-K school. But it will help you get closer to the right choice.

Tours

Before you finalize your choice, visiting a few top-rated preschools is a must. Call in advance and find out when these preschools allow visitors.

Following these basic steps will ideally lead you to selecting the top-rated preschool for your child to receive his/her early education.
