Thinking about preschool but not sure where to begin? There are tons of online resources available (including our Comprehensive Preschool Guide!), which are a great start.
But, you’ll never really know for sure if a school is the best fit for your family until you visit it in person. So, we’ve complied a list of some local open houses!
