Book Review: How to Choose the Best Preschool For Your Child

As a full-time working mom, one of the more stressful times so far has been choosing the right preschool. We started small with our oldest son (almost 4) while waiting to get into the school we wanted this coming fall. He loved his small preschool and we were lucky because he had a great teacher! I was really excited when I got the opportunity to review How to Choose the Best Preschool for Your Child through Family Review Network prior to choosing a preschool for our youngest son (age 2)!

How to Choose the Best Preschool for Your Child: The Ultimate Guide to Finding, Getting Into, and Preparing for Nursery School will save you lots of online research time since it gives you insight into the popular preschool programs from child-centered to teacher-directed, breaks down the key criteria to consider when choosing a preschool, and helps you find a high-quality preschool in your area whether you are in a small town or a large city. What I liked best about this book is that it will really work whether you are in a small town or a large metropolitan area. I think if you are in a smaller town/city you are less likely to find long application forms, admissions interviews, and competitive programs that are discussed in the book but there is still plenty to assist you in understanding the preschool programs.

The book also helps you focus your attention on what's important to you as a parent and how your child will best learn in a preschool environment. I thought the book provided great insights into the process needed to navigate preschool and prepare your child for their first day. The book also includes a discussion on how to become an involved parent regardless of your time committments outside of school. If you are about to navigate the selection process for preschool, I suggest you pick up a copy of this book!
