I will tell you what I did for my DD: I didnt choose the Hi-fy schools which has Pre - kg - 12th std..... because it will give the school environment feel only to the kid. I was searching for schools near by to my house. And there was a lady, who had a play school in part of her house it self.... Went and visited her. Checked the below. * Environment - hygiene and other stuffs. * The teacher was so friendly and kind to the kid. Checked if she shows care towards the children. * Care takers * Timings of school * Snacks timings * Will they teach kid to be independent on toiletry habbits * Making the kid to eat on their own. * I never cared about the syllabus; only cared about the activities that they have like: Sand Play, Water Play, Indoor and out door games. Over all, It gave homely + school environment to my kid and she got used to . It was easy for me to put her in good school this yer.
