DeeDee, thanks so much for your advice. I knew that I would be changing schools in a year from now and had started some research. However, the school closing hit us by surprise and now I have just a month to find a school. It took me 9 months to find the school she goes to now so I am not that quick with this stuff. But like you suggest, I will cast the net to find these hidden gem schools. The idea of student help opens up the third option for me because the part-time montessori (option 3) is actually a lab preschool in a community college. Thanks again!
