That is a very specific question and I'm not sure if you are going to find anyone on here with that info.\n\nI do have some general ideas on what to look for in a Preschool since I am a Preschool teacher myself. \n*Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n*What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n*Are the staff friendly and happy?\n*Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n*Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n*Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).\n\nI hope this helps!

Hey, my cousin goes there - doing her A-levels. She loves it! From what I've heard everyone seems pretty nice. Some of the teachers are a bit s*** but you get that everywhere don't you!\n\nI suggest having a look round yourself - it's the only way you will ever truly get a feel for the place. \n\nThat's really wierd that someone on here actually was able to answer that question of yours! Anyway, I hope you are happy wherever you end up!

Look in your local directory and call around. It will take you time but it will be time well spent since it will be a big part of your child's life. You don't want to leave your loved ones in unfit care. Once you have found a couple that sound good, make an appointment to go and check out the best ones. Here are some good things to look for when you visit:\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).\n\nI hope this helps!

Which area are you looking for specifically?\n\n\nCassa Bambino at Breach Candy is good, so are all the Kangaroo Kids affiliates all over the city. \n\nNew Activity School has a montessori section too in south Bombay.

Opposition to universal preschool\nWhat's coming out of Oklahoma and Georgia, two states that implemented universal preschool over a decade ago--is not particularly promising. Last year, the gains in reading scores of fourth graders in both states ranked among the bottom 10 on the National Assessment of Education Progress tests--the premier benchmark for comparing student performance across states. Even more stunning, not one of the 10 best performing states had universal preschool programs. \nUniversal preschool advocates often underestimate the cost of universal preschool. This is what a sober assessment of a similar universal day care program in Quebec suggests. The final price tag for Quebec's day care program is 33 times what was originally projected: It was supposed to cost $230 million over five years, but now gobbles $1.7 billion every year. Much of the increased spending has gone not toward increased access, but increased costs. Day care worker unions, on the threat of strike, negotiated a 40 percent increase in wages over four years. \nUniversal prschool often creates long waiting lists and results in disadvantaged children competing with higher income children for preschool access. In Quebec many low-income parents, who lost their child care tax deductions in order to finance the program, have been crowded out by middle- and upper-income parents more savvy at negotiating the system. According to research by Peter Shawn Taylor for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, half of Quebec's day care spaces are taken by families in the top 30 percent income bracket. \nHome schooling movement that believes children should be educated by their families and not by the government \nAnti-government movements that believe that the government does not do well with providing services, except for police, military and fire \nExtreme capitalists that desires the privatization of all functions including even private prisions and private roads. \nPrivate preschool providers who may feel threatened economically by a system that could exclude their participation. \nThose opposed to the particular funding mechanism or desire the funding to go to another benefit instead of Universal Preschool. \n\nHere is a search that you can look through for your information:\n\nhttp://www.ask.com/web?q=opposition+of+universal+preschool&qsrc=1&o=312\n\nHere are the news hits:\n\nhttp://news.ask.com/news?qsrc=1&o=312&q=opposition%20of%20universal%20preschool&news=true

One of my undergrad degrees is Occupational Education.  \n\nMy 3 year old son is in pre-school.  He is a mainstreamed special needs child with downs.  He is very high functioning and has been in early intervention programs since six months age.\n\nThe Pre-k program here is awesome.  We have been in the classrom and observed the teacher and her aids working with the kids and they are thriving and developing exceptionaly well.\n\nWe went and checked it out before we put him in this program which is something I reccomend you do.  But I can not say enough good things about this program and the jump start it gives kids on both an educational and a social skills level.  \nThe spend a lot of time assessing developmental skills and if there are issues will likely spot them quick.  My boy gets his O.T. , P.T., speech, and sign language instruction from board certified therapists and educators, not something easily found at a day care. \n\nExcellent emphasis on communication skills to prep them for  more formal education.   \n\nBy the time these kids are at the Kindergarden age, they are at full speed, minds focused on learning, and are well prepared.  My little guy is up before 6 am and smiling ear to ear, love school, and comes home hunting for more things to learn about.

I give high praise for cooperative preschool, because parent involvement is so high! It seems most co-ops in the Puget Sound area are affiliated with local colleges, so you might check with your favorite one. Here's the link I found for Bellevue CC.

Caligirl, I know what you are feeling, I was there once too, just starting out, I am a teacher.  \n\nI have a Multiple Subject, Single Subject in Spanish and the BCLAD.  I have taught at one time or another at all grade levels in both English and Spanish.   My assignment now is an ELD teacher, K-12.  Included in my daily schedule is a morning 1/2 hour daily pull out instruction with a small group of kindergarten kids.  This has become one of the favorite times in my daily schedule.  It took me some time to get used to it, but one of my favorite age groups now is the Kindergarten age.  So much so, that now, when I could choose to do so many different kinds of assignments for summer school, I choose to do Kindergraten review.\n\nGo with the Kindergarten assignment.  I know you are specializing in reading and are considering teaching upper grades, but there is nothing more rewarding than working with children at the Kindergarten level.  Yes, you may not want to do it for long, or perhaps for more than a year, but it is true this experience will be rewarding and respected for years to come and for future interviews.  Reading is now introduced at the kinder level and your knowledge and experise will be appreciated by parents, teachers and district staff alike AND you will get some great initial classroom experience in pre and early literacy instruction.  If this is a public school, you will probably sign up for the BTSA teacher support program providing additional training, peer support and some classroom/materials funding.\n\nGo For It, Caligirl!\n\nP.S,\nHave you ever considered looking into the Peace Corps?  I was a training coordinator for the Peace Corps once and there are some great education programs for teachers to work in now where one not only gets some great teaching experience but can help train colleagues in other countries as well while getting a good second language and culture experience.\n\nGood Luck In Your Endeavors!

Unfortunately I do not live in that area but if you wish to find a good preschool for your child then sometimes researching the hard way is the best way. Depending on what you are looking for in a preschool depends on if it is going to be good for your child or not. I would suggest calling every nursey school/ preschool in the yellow pages and asking them to visit the place in person. Going during nap time is not a good time to see the school in action. Interviewing the staff and watching the children will be the best way to find a preschool that fits your needs. Also calling your child's pediatrician and asking their advice or if there is a children's hospital in your area they sometimes will provide you with a list of highly rated preschools. Hope this helps.

I know lots of people who attended there, and i almost did myself. Not sure how reliable this info is, but I had a friend who said he got his degree from there but it turns out on of his instructor's credientals were doctored and therefore any student who had credits from this instructor had invalid degrees. I have no idea exactly how true that is.\n\nAs far as the financial situation, I think they have it all cleared up. I can't remember exactly what the problem was, but they got rid of everyone who used to work at ABS (knew someone who worked there & he got laid off) and hired an all new staff for LVC. I don't know why the two are still affiliated. Anyway, I don't think you have much to worry about. Just check it out good and read EVERYTHING before you sign. Good luck!

I am a Preschool teacher so I can give you some tips of what to look for when searching for a good preschool. I would suggest looking in your local directory for all the preschools in your area. Call them up and ask them about fees and availability of places. Pick the ones that suit your budget best and organise to go and visit each of them. Call and make an appointment so that someone will be available to show you around. Here are some specific things to look for:\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).\n* What is your gut feeling telling you? If you are not confident, it will be harder for you to trust them with your child!!\n\nI hope this helps!
