All children need to receive early education. A study by The Perry Preschool Project shows that children who graduate preschool have higher high school graduation rates and higher-paying jobs in the future. There are many advantages to pre-K education, including critical knowledge and social interaction. So this leaves parents with an important question: Which preschool should they choose?

Families in bigger cities have many preschool choices. Some are in the local public school system, while others are charter schools with specialized curriculum. Some are relatively new, while others have been around for decades. Selecting the best preschool can be a tough decision for any parent. Let us help you with these three effective suggestions:

Ask Around

Do you have friends or family who have passed through this process already? If so, try talking to them. They can provide valuable information about teachers, cost, location, structure, and teaching curriculum. This is the perfect starting point for narrowing your search down to a few choices.

Rating Websites

Several websites exist that rank and review local preschools and other institutions. Reading these sites can give you an indication of your available choices. We aren't saying you should go with whatever preschool the site ranks #1. But you will find some information to make the choice easier.

Take a Tour

Before you finalize your choice, visiting a few of your favorite preschools is a must. First, call to make sure you visit during the right time.

If you follow all of these steps, it should be much easier to find the best early education option for your child.
