You are looking for all the right things! Trust your own judgment. Call your local elementary school, social service agencies, and churches and make a list of the programs they tell you about. Then call those programs and ask what license they have and what credentials their teachers have. Ask what the schedule is that the children follow to make sure that the schedule allows for both structured and unstructured activities. (Don't forget that children this age need plenty of opportunities to make their own choices, and a good preschool program will offer lots of constructive, educational opportunities for them to choose from.) Try to observe a class in progress. Then when you have chosen a program, plan to volunteer a little time in the classroom (once a month if you can) so you can be involved in what your child is experiencing. An involved parent is a child's best insurance for a great educational experience!
