Sites that give additional advice on forms of Curriculum: Teach, Preschool Professor, Parents, Mental Floss, Coolgurkul, The Classroom Teaching Methods
4. When is the school available in the morning, afternoon or at night or at all hours?
5. What are the qualifications of the teachers, cooks, administration, recreation  staff? Are they certified, trained or qualified for their positions?
6. Visit the school (I recommend  without notice). How do you feel about the school, are they welcoming, supportive of you and your child? Is it clean and safe? Do the students appear happy? How do the adults interact with the children? What is the turnover rate of the staff? Does the school have accreditation and certificates of health from the local health departments?
7. How does the staff handle discipline? Does it match your view of discipline?
8. What forms of payments do they accept and would you qualify for Federal, State or local financial aid?
