The preschool I'm basing my knowledge on is through a good friend of mine. From the sounds of it, they do a lot of with the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. Maybe that's one of the few preschools around that does this type of curriculum versus a play-based curriculum, which is all I really want. Or maybe that's just a small part of their day and the rest is full of other activities.
As you can tell, I haven't gone to a lot of preschools in the area to see how they operate. That's mainly because DD won't start preschool until next fall (09) when she's 3.5 so I have some time to research my options. If most preschools are designed how you think, Kriston, then choosing one shouldn't be so bad. I just looked at the tuition of a small nearby private school and gasped. I'm thinking I can get what we need from a less-expensive option, especially for preschool. (It's not like it's college!)
