What is the best Preschool in Clarksville,Tn?

Question

My son will be almost 4 in the fall this coming school year. We are looking for a nice preschool for him, when do registration start and was also wonder the cost of it.

Answer 1

You can also check with your local elementary school and social service agencies.  They may be able to recommend a program or at least give you a list to consider.  When considering a program, find out what kind of license they have, and what kind of credentials the teaching staff have.  Ask what curriculum they use, what the children's schedule is like, and try to observe a class in progress.  After you have enrolled your child, try to volunteer some time so that you can see first hand what your child is experiencing.  Also, your involvement shows your child that you value him and his education.

Answer 2

If you have a low income, you may look into a Head Start program.  Head Start does an awesome job of preparing children for kindergarten and they also take care of any basic screenings your child needs.  Most Head Starts are free up until a certain time of the day.  Registrations run all through the summer.

Answer 3

Not familiar with the area, but a good place to start is to visit all NAEYC accredited centres. NAEYC accreditation is a sign of high standards and commitment to quality early childhood education.

Here are some preschools and their websites you might want to visit/investigate further:

Austin Peay State University Child Learning Center

Just For Kids Childcare

If cost is a concern, you might want to look into Head Start programs

or Tennessee's Pre-K program

Hope it's not too late for fall where you are! Here registration for Fall 2007 programs took place back in March/April.
