Five questions to ask before registering your twins for preschool

By: Linda Jenkins

It’s that time of year when moms of twins start looking around for preschools. If you live in a place where preschools are private and you have options, it’s important to ask some questions.
I’m a mom of three and a half-year-old twins, who are thriving in preschool now. I wanted to share my list of important topics to ask, before registering your twins for preschool – communication, safety, curriculum, discipline, and costs. I learned by example, (with some hiccups along the way), but in the end, my twins both love attending preschool, even
when they can’t agree on anything else.

-I hate to break it to you, but the preschool admissions process is right around the corner if you are thinking about preschool for Fall. So here are some rock solid tips to help you with creating your list of schools and getting into the school of your choice!!!

1. Generally in NYC, preschool applications are due the year before your child enters preschool. There are some schools with rolling admissions, but most preschools in NYC will require you to apply a year in advance.

2. Parents of older children (3 and over) will likely have an easier time getting into preschool. There are more schools to choose from for older children (not all schools have a program for kids under 3) and the class sizes are larger. So there are more seats available!

3. When creating your list of preschools think about the school’s:

• Location – You generally want a school that is close to home. Remember your child won’t just be going to school there. They will also attend play dates there, birthday parties etc.).
