Abstract	Noting that a high-quality preschool program is one that promotes learning through rich play experiences, this book gives parents information needed to select the right preschool for their children. Chapter 1, "Thinking about Preschool," discusses questions parents ask, practical considerations, beginning the search, and the screening phone call. Chapter 2, "First Things First," discusses safety, health, staff, and what to look for during a visit. Chapter 3, "Play Is Children's Work," explores learning through play, brain research, multiple intelligences, and emotional intelligence. Chapter 4, "Structure--Every Child Needs It," discusses the preschool physical environment, how a day is organized, 2-year-olds, and what to look for during a visit. Chapters 5 through 11 explore the development of different skills and subject areas at school and at home, including social and emotional skills, physical skills, reading and writing, mathematical relationships, science, social studies, and the arts. Chapter 12, "Thinking Ahead to Kindergarten," describes what kindergarten will be like, kindergarten readiness, and becoming an advocate for a child's education. The book's appendices are: (1) "Understanding the Preschool Child"; (2) "Special Needs and Inclusion"; (3) "Checklists," which includes questions to ask in a screening phone call and during visits; (4) "For Further Reading," which includes 17 references; (5) "National Organizations and Information Clearinghouses"; and (6) "World Wide Web Sites."
