Though it may sound easy to spot a reliable and well established preschool in your place, actually it is not. There are too many parameters you should probably consider when enrolling your child in a preschool.
 
You should look for a centre that teaches and trains your child on the right things and help him or her abstain from activities and habits that are wrong or dangerous. Talk about the concepts, working model and principles of the prospective preschool from the concerned staff of the school. Talk to a responsible person of the school and clarify all sorts of doubts you have in your mind. Your questions may include:

•    What are the security measures taken to protect the child at various situations?
•    Do you provide lunch and if so, what is the menu? How is the food prepared and do parents have the permission to visit the school kitchen once in a while to ensure cleanliness and hygiene of the place?
•    Are the restrooms safe and comfortable for the children to use? Are they cleaned frequently after use?
