This is true for any preschool, as some of the curriculum should include local issues or history.

If you're looking at sending your child to one location of a national chain, ask them if there are any differences between regional curriculum and that of this school.

Question #4: What kind of food do I need to pack?

Preschool may just be the first time that you have had to pack a lunch for your child. Does the preschool offer lunch and snacks? What do they expect your child to eat? What about food allergies? Are there any restrictions on what you can pack?

You want to make sure your child has what they need food-wise for the day, so make sure to ask.

Question #5: How do you alleviate separation anxiety?

Esmelda daycare promote language through play time she has book that help the toddlers learn the different animal or the ABC the woman would read the book to toddler by pointing to animal or letter and saying what it was she would also promote language by playing with the toys like counting how many Lego blocks there is or by saying the color of the toy right now. Esmelda daycare is not fully completed with all the material the toddlers need they are in process, but still not being a fully completed daycare you can see that the women and the husband take really good care of children when I was there as she was taking to me if the children need something she would stop and put attention to what the children need instead of just keep taking to me and ignored the child.
