Slow Jamz 10/13/17: How to Choose the Best Preschool

To pick the best preschool for your child…

• LICENSE CHECK—only consider options that are licensed by the state

• DAILY SCHEDULE—the program should follow the schedule of your child,

eating schedule, napping schedule…so they aren’t stuck in a swing all

• OUTDOOR TIME—how often do they take the children outside?

• QUALITY CHECK—ask about any quality assessments or ratings compiled by

the program.

• TEACHER RATIOS—what are the teacher/student ratios? Lower ratios are

another indicator of a high-quality program.

• NO YELLING!—are teachers engaged with the kids? Do they kneel down to

their levels versus talking down to them? Can you hear the sound of happy,
