Okay local parents, I'm starting my preschool/daycare research for when E outgrows his in home care. E won't be going until fall 2015, but people keep throwing that...

I've heard good things about Belleair Montessori, Bright Beginnings in Dunedin and Suncoast Waldorf in Palm Harbor

Bright Beginnings is great! Ava was in one other one before that and it was terrible. You get what you pay for with preschool.

Well obvious we like safety harbor Montessori. But new horizons is great also. Farrah Sptaru has new experience there and my big girls went there from 2-3 years old until 6 and 8 years old.

We put E in at Ivy Prep on Belcher. So far I love it. She doesn't call it a preschool but her curriculum is excellent. Class sizes are small, half the state requirement. She follows up after the children are in the school system asking for progress reports and test scores so she can continually update her curriculum. She is not any specific

The other preschool that I have heard good things about is Temple B'nai in Clearwater.

We love St. Luke ECC, it has the sweet Christian preschool feel, high academic standards, and full days available. In the summers we get sitters or use a daycare like New Horizons or Precious People. St. Luke has some summer coverage until 2-3 pm but I usually need full days. Not sure what they will offer this summer.

Precious People is supposed to be good in Palm Harbor.

I know some of the teachers at Safety Harbor Montessori - I am trying to convince them to sneak E on the books (cough, Sarah and Cindy). Bright Beginnings looks so promising - I want to hear what you think about them now, Rachael. Precious People is on my list, too.
