On Friday I went on a tour of a reputable preschool. We are
considering our childcare options for next year. Although we are generally
happy with our current situation everyone tells us that by the time our
daughter turns three she “needs to be in school”. So, I have begun touring
preschools trying to find the one that is the right fit for us.
I am concerned that we may have some challenges though.
During Friday’s tour I inquired about the school’s disciplinary policy and the
head master looked at me amazed. Then he commented that “We don’t have
significant discipline problems because we’re so careful about the selection of
the children at the front end. Children with significant disciplinary problems
aren’t right for our school.” He also said that the children have to be potty
trained before they join the school.
I got nervous. Our daughter is VERY high
spirited. I think that she could use
some discipline. She also is not potty trained. Indeed, she is kind of hostile to the potty. She has been known to kick it!
We’re going to apply and attend the interview. Fortunately
the interview is in a few months. By that time, I am sure that our daughter
will be more obedient and potty trained.
Here’s hoping! Keep your fingers crossed!!!

More than likely, the one that has the right vibe for you will feel right to your daughter.
As for the potty thing - I do think that setting guidelines for that is pretty outdated.
