Culver City Moms – ​Touring a Preschool for Your Child

June 15, 2015


You’re feeling that your toddler needs more stimulation and peer contact than he or she gets at home or in day care. But how does a parent find the right preschool? Many local parents are raving about 
Happyland, Village Tree, Montessori, and Home Sweet Home. But what is it about these preschools and other facilities that make parents and children smile?


Take a tour of at least three preschools and arrive with a list of questions.

Here are a few questions to get you started:


Learning Philosophies


Every preschool has their own style. Does the school have a
vision or mission? What is the teaching philosophy? Montessori and Waldorf have well documented philosophies. But each school has its own spin on what’s important. For example, is teaching reading a high priority? Or is there more focus on peer interaction and social skills? Some styles are focused on teaching more academically or some more play-based.  What is the daily curriculum and how much does it vary from day to day?


Logistics


There are things you’ll need to be aware of day to day to see if it’s a good fit for you and your child. Is nap time part of each day? What is the earliest time that a child can be brought to school and what is the latest they can be picked up at the end of the school day? Does the school charge for late pickups and how much?


Teacher Qualifications


While preschoolers aren’t exactly learning rocket science yet, it’s good to be aware of the quality of care. What are the credentials and experience of the
teachers and teacher’s aides? What is the staff turnover? Which teacher has been at the school the longest and for how many years? What is their experience with physical and developmental disabilities, ADHD, and autism spectrum? Are teachers allowed to administer medication? Are they trained to handle medical emergencies and other situations such as earthquakes?


Discipline


How is
behavior and discipline handled at school
Is discipline positive? Does it involve redirection? Are teachers and staff respectful of students and their families? In class, do the children sit at tables or desks or on the carpet or do they run wild around the classroom? How much time is spent outdoors at school? Is staff receptive to receiving feedback and input from parents?


Parent Involvement


Some schools have a built in co-op style, and others are less hands-on for parents.  How involved are
parents in curriculum planning at school? Do parents volunteer at school? What is the expectation for parent involvement?


Student Info


It’s always good to get a vibe on the school’s student population to get a sense if your child will thrive in that environment. Who are the other
students? How many children are in the classroom, and what is the adult to child ratio? How old is the oldest student in class, and how old is the youngest? Must a child be potty-trained? Does the school help with potty training? Are their resources for children with special needs or exceptional abilities?


Diet & Allergies


These days a lot of kids require special attention in the form of diet and allergies. How are special diets such as kosher, vegan or gluten-free dealt with for snacks and lunchtime? Are healthy snacks served such as fruits and veggies, or are sugary cookies and crackers part of snack time? Some schools offer lunch programs, and it’s worth asking about if that is an option.  


Illness & Cleanliness


Usually schools have very clear policies on illness. It’s good to find out a school’s specific guidelines on when it’s ok to send your child to school or not. What if a classmate has a communicable disease such as measles or chicken pox? And are there policies in place for unvaccinated students? If a classmate has head lice, are other parents notified, or does it stay private? Are tables and work areas sanitized during the day especially after eating snacks or lunch?


Getting In


Some schools have a waitlist and it’s usually good to find out right away is this will be an issue with your timeline. Find out, too, if there is a registration fee and if it’s non-refundable. Also, what is tuition? And do they offer half-day, full day, and partial or full week? Many of the bigger preschools have a tuition based on which schedule you choose. Some schools like 
La Playa and Free to Be Me offer strictly half day preschool, but tuition may still vary based on how many days a week you attend. If you have kids close in age, always find out if there’s a discount for multiple kids attending. 


Final Thoughts

Christina Moreno, Director of Home Sweet Home Preschool and Toddler Discovery Center in Culver City, offers up the following wisdom to parents scoping out the right preschool: “When arriving at a school tour take in the environment around you, does it feel comfortable and inviting? Listen…do you hear the buzz of children at play or do you hear the teacher’s voice above everything else? Do the children appear to be happy and carefree? Can you picture your child spending everyday in this environment? Trust your mommy instinct, your first impression is usually right on!”

Old old man; I am a cheerful old man. The old lumberjack! I like to walk in the forest, And I want to know everything about trees! Speaker. Guys, tell the Old Man-forester what kind of trees you know …. Apple tree, plum, aspen, mimosa, poplar, sea buckthorn, linden, birch, lemon, pine, maple, chestnut, oak, mountain ash, willow, plane tree. Spruce, elm, eucalyptus, cypress, Ash, sequoia, palm and yew, Cedar, bird cherry, fir, willow, So our game is over! Trees grow in a city…, a forest…, a village…, a park… Trees are… deciduous and coniferous. Deciduous trees are those that have foliage, all coniferous trees have needles instead of leaves, called “needles”. In winter, deciduous trees fall off, while conifers retain their needles. Name the deciduous trees that you see?….birch.., willow.., oak..,., aspen.., linden… Deciduous trees bear fruit. These trees include apple trees .., pears .., cherries .., plums … Old man-forester. And now the game “Whose fruit?” Guess what kind of fruit this tree has. Speaker. At the oak – … an acorn At the spruce, pine – … cone At the linden – … nuts At the mountain ash – … berries At the hazel – … hazelnuts At the chestnut – … chestnut At the birch – … earrings At the poplar – … box Well done!… Guys, you know that inside every fruit there are seeds. They fall into the ground, and if there is enough sun and moisture for the seed in this place, then a young tree grows out of it. Coniferous trees have needles instead of leaves. Coniferous trees do not fall in autumn like deciduous trees. Name coniferous trees …. spruce .., pine .., fir .., thuja .., larch, cedar .., juniper .., cypress …

All coniferous trees have a trunk, branches, leaves, roots, fruits. They differ in color, size, place of growth … All trees cannot live without light, water and clean air. Some trees like bright places, others grow in the shade. Trees drink water, just like people. Some trees need a lot of moisture, others get by with a small amount of water. The tree receives water from rain, snow, dew, hoarfrost. Snow covers the roots of trees like a warm blanket, saves from freezing. Trees need clean air because they breathe. They can die from polluted air. At the same time, the trees themselves purify the air and decorate our country. Once on the street of the city, along the roadway we meet … a poplar. Poplar grows very fast. In one summer, it can turn from a small twig into a tree up to the second floor. Poplar plays the role of an orderly of our streets. It purifies the air of soot and dust and releases a large amount of oxygen. If we carefully look at the poplar leaf, we will notice that it is shiny dark green on top, and light … velvety below. Dust is attached to the velvety part of the leaf, and during heavy rain it is washed off and carried away by flowing droplets. Poplar can warn a person about severe air pollution: its leaves become small and covered with specks. Linden is a slender tree with a dense crown. Linden is called the best honey plant. Yellowish-white flowers attract bees with their sweet aroma. They fly around the lime tree all day and collect sweet nectar. Linden honey is very useful. Healing linden and flowers, which are brewed and made tea for colds. Maple is a tree with “palms” and “spouts”: leaves – “palms” and fruits – “spouts”. Every autumn we are pleased with the maple with its golden-purple outfit. The leaves on the tree are painted in different colors: red .., yellow .., crimson .., orange … People make furniture, musical instruments (violins, guitars) from maple wood. Birch is one of the most beautiful and beloved trees on the planet. The birch has a white … slender … trunk. The leaves look like a rhombus with pointed tips. Birch is valued for the fact that it cleans the air well. People drink birch sap and make syrup out of it…; from birch buds they make medicine ..; beautiful furniture is made from wood … Trees, like all living things, need protection and protection. The old woodsman. Guys, remember and follow the rules of behavior in nature. Speaker. Do not break tree branches! You can not tear the leaves of trees! You can not light a fire near the trees!

You must not destroy the bark of a tree, scratch it with sharp objects!
