Despite having spent most of my professional life in education (as a teacher, a principal of a middle school, and CEO of an education company), I soon realized that I still was not prepared to embark on a preschool search for my daughter. In fact, despite my education background, I realized that I didn't even know the right questions to ask about early childhood education and preschools!

From talking to friends, I realized that I was not alone and that many parents of newborns and toddlers feel anxious about the first education choice we make for our children. That's why I am so thrilled that the Savvy Source for Parents has launched!

The Savvy Source has already helped me in my search for the right preschool for my daughter, and I trust that it will provide a lot of useful information and invaluable insights to your family as well.

Finally, I urge you to keep coming back to the Savvy Source. In the coming months, we plan to tap into our ever-growing parent community for their thoughts and opinions on a host of similar issues important to us as parents. So stay tuned - there is more to come!

About the Savvy Source for Parents The Savvy Source for Parents was an idea conceived by parents, for parents.

After giving birth to her daughter, our founder, Stacey Boyd, quickly realized that there are very few resources to help parents navigate choosing and gaining admission to preschools. So she turned to friends who already had children in preschool and realized that her parent friends were a treasure trove of useful information. Not one to keep the inside scoop to herself, she wondered if there was a way to harness all of the information she had gathered in a format from which other parents could benefit. Stacey talked up the idea with some friends, and over some of her famous goat cheese tarts last spring, a small group met at Stacey's home to begin making Stacey's brainchild a reality - and thus The Savvy Source for Parents was born!

We started with about a half dozen moms in San Francisco and in less than one year, we have spread to 17 cities across the country, with many more cities in the pipeline. We have been able to spread so quickly because thousands of parents have been generous enough to share their experiences with other parents. And if you are one of those parents, we sincerely thank you!

We have also received tremendous support from preschool directors. With the help of leading childhood development experts, we created a survey for school directors to complete. As you will see, the director survey asks directors to provide parents with all sorts of useful tidbits from what "a day in the life" is like at their preschool to how the school handles discipline, to teacher/student ratios, and much more.

We believe that the depth and quantity of parent reviews and the first-hand information from school directors makes this the most informative web site about preschools in the country. We hope that you will agree.
