Selecting the appropriate preschool for your child is one of the most critical decisions you will ever make as a parent. Preschools can significantly impact your child's early development, both in the academics and social areas. To give your child the best education and environment, here are a few key questions to ask when interviewing a preschool teacher/administrative staff. Following are some of the key questions to ask the preschool teacher of your child before enrolling.

Reduced ratio provides the ability of teachers to provide more individualistic care to every student which promotes a better learning environment. Ask about the number of children in the class and how many teachers or aides are present. Ideally, the children's ratio should remain so low that each child has the attention they need to develop academically and socially.
