Appleton, Wisconsin preschools?


Question: Any one have any recommenns for Appleton, Wisconsin preschools for a 3 year old???? out of state right now, but my son will be 3 when I return to Appleton. Looking for short days and only a couple days a week.
Answers: I do not know this area but I can give you some tips on things to look for. Look in the local directory and call around. It will take you time but it will be time well spent since it will be a big part of your child's life. Ask about fees, opening hours, vacancies, location, child care rebates etc. Once you have found a couple that sound good, make an appointment to go and check out the best ones.
Here are some good things to look for when you visit.
(If you are unable to visit the centre, you can ask about these issues over the phone. I would suggest that you ask to make a phone appointment because there is not always someone available to talk to you while the children are around)
* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?
* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?
* Are the staff friendly and happy?
* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?
* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?
* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food provided by centre).

I hope this helps!
