<p>What mimk6 (who I think is my alter ego) and lololu said. Trust your gut. What’s a great preschool for one kid, or the “it” school, may not be the right place for your kiddo. Motor skills, flexibility, learning, schedules… all very important factors, but at the end of the day, you’ll know it when you see it. Happy (and loving) teachers, happy & smiling children, and happy parents who remind you of yourself.</p>
<p>And don’t be afraid to make a move mid-session if you aren’t loving it or end up with a different teacher than you thought.</p>
<p>I think you are already in a good place, OP, by not expecting preschool to be pre-Harvard!</p>
