Carlsbad Country Day
Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
flexability with our schedule
Parent #2
started when the school opened before they were full.
Parent #3
Full time = more $ for them
Parent #4
none
Parent #5
APPLY EARLY!
Parent #6
Be open with your days. Once accepted you can request alternate days and the director is very personable and easy to deal with. She will often let you drop in if you have an appointment even if it is not your day.
Parent #7
We applied about 6 months before I needed care and we were open to any days they had.
Parent #8
Just apply early!
Parent #9
Go in for a tour and keep calling, they get openings every so often.
Parent #10
We love the school and have found that if you are able to wait to get in, THIS IS THE PLACE to send your children.
Parent #11
Apply early
Parent #12
I put my name on the waitlist to get my two year old in. It took about five months.
Parent #13
Put your child on the waiting list EARLY!
Parent #14
Look around, meet the director, ask many questions. Look into her eyes and make a judgement call. You like many will go in happy and leave shortly there after very dissapointed. The high turn over ratio in the 2's room is disturbing. Check your options and just when you think this could be the right school for you check your options again.
Parent #15
look into these schools before you go to CCD
Parent #16
Meet with the actual teacher your child would have if he/she attended. The teachers make this school and are just great. At this point, there isn't one I wouldn't be happy with for my kids.

My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
