When you visit, you really will get a feel for the preschool and the staff. When we moved and my dd started a new preschool I took her in to meet with the director who is also a teacher and she invited Taylor to sit with the class. Taylor is now writing her name, knows her phone# and address. Her preschool also has Spanish lessons with a multilinguist and swim lessons once a week. I pay about the same as I did at her previous preschool/daycare (we just moved a few months ago) and she has learned so much in the short amount of time she has been in the new school.
I am in South Barrington so please let me know if you would like more info on this preschool.
Good luck!
