A preschool's philosophy — co-op or Montessori, play-based, Reggio Emilia, or Waldorf — is only one of the considerations when choosing a school for your child (and family). The most important thing to take into account is your kid's temperament — and your family's core beliefs and needs. Then there are the basics that apply to any school, no matter what its approach to teaching (or not teaching) youngsters.
Tina Grotzer, an assistant professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, principle investigator at Harvard Project Zero, mom of twins, and member of Wondertime's advisory board, provides this comprehensive checklist to guide you through the process of touring schools, interviewing administrators, and observing in the classroom. Good luck!
