No, I'm not choosing a preschool at the moment--I actually plan to homeschool Sariah for preschool, at least until she's much older. But I stumbled across this wonderful series of posts that highlight several "alternative" approaches to preschool education: http://www.globalmama.com/2009/02/19/hunting-for-a-preschool/ . This woman has done a fantastic job of outlining the features of educational philosophies such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, and Charlotte Mason as they apply to preschool. Read them and see if you can guess which one I would pick! Which one interests you?
Someday I will post a complete post about my own theories of early childhood education. They've been on my mind a lot lately, but I just don't have time to organize everything that's in my brain. Let's say that 1) I'm opinionated, and 2) I'm definitely not mainstream when it comes to preschool!
