Ask the teachers what methods they use to discipline unruly or inattentive children. A total lack of any discipline or direction can also create a chaotic situation in the classroom, so a creative, caring response on the part of teachers can enhance the positive social and educational aspects for children. Ask if the school has an open door policy whereby parents are welcome to stop by when they want to see the progress and interaction of their child for themselves. A school that has nothing to hide will welcome your interest. Ask if the school conducts a routine assessment of the children so that you can learn in which areas your child is progressing within normal standards and where your child may need extra attention at home.
Some preschools provide transportation within a limited area nearby the school.
If you are interested in assistance with transporting your child, ask about those services. See the van or bus that is used for transportation to determine if it is safe. Take a test run with the regular driver to see what his driving habits are. Preschools that are affiliated with the larger international schools may impose a Capital Levy as an entrance requirement. If you are paying for the schooling yourself, the cost becomes more of an issue.
