<p>Here’s my experience signing up for private preschool…</p>
<p>When D1 was a baby, I was riding up the chairlift with a friend who was a preschool teacher/owner at a well regarded nursery school in our town. It seemed like a long way off as D was just several months old at the time. Friend/teacher tells me she put my D’s name on the list for this preschool for when she would be turning three (this preschool is for 3 years and up) because lists and spots were filling up and she wanted to make sure we got a spot. My jaw dropped. I had no idea that happened in this neck of the woods! I guess I was naive (and I was a teacher at the elementary school at the time) figured we’d think about preschool when she was old enough to go. Thankfully, D’s name was on the list as I never would have thought to reserve a spot when she was just a baby. Then, it was easy when D2 came along two years later as we knew better and she was a younger sib to a preschooler there. Our girls had a wonderful experience at this nursery school.</p>
