DS is 3.8 and will (I hope) be starting at a private preschool next month - we're in the US so no state provision until he's nearly 6. It's a new preschool that's opening for the first time this academic year. We went to an open day last month so met the owner and saw the facilities, which all seemed lovely, but as they're only just starting out we didn't get to see the place "in action" and there are no other parents to ask for their opinions and experiences. Add the lack of Ofsted and the fact that DS is our PFB and we don't really know what we're looking at (he was with a childminder from 13 months to 2, and has been at home with me since), and I'm wondering how I can be sure we've made a good choice.
I've been emailing back and forth with owner who has been very friendly and helpful. There's information on their website about the planned day-to-day schedule, and I've asked about the backgrounds and training of the staff, and how settling in will work. What else should I be asking about?
Also, how much should I tell her about his little quirks, or should I let the staff find out for themselves? For example he's a very fussy eater, but
I wonder if this may improve with some peer influence.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
