Thanks. I am not personally sold on the need for very expensive schools for very young kids that claim to provide elite developmental activities, however, I think after a year or so, I see the benefit in sending them to play with other kids. Until 3, I am only looking for a playschool, not necessari...

I am also considering a move in the next few months. There is good information here on schools, however, I don't see much info for younger kids. I have a 2 yr old and another one on the way soon.
