<p>I agree with NAEYC accreditation. There were only three in our large city 20+ years ago when I was looking for pre-school with extended care. I looked at others, including montessori (which my pediatrician recommended), but finally chose one of the NAEYC schools. It was wonderful for both boys. That’s not to say that other schools aren’t great and would be perfect for your child - your mileage may vary.</p>
