Going through the preschool touring process now too. I also am looking at outdoor space/amount of time, teacher ratio, and curriculum. I was pretty keen on Montessori but after seeing the large class sizes (1 teacher for 15 kids in one case) and the lack of imaginative play, I feel like that may not be the right fit for my kid.

I just realized that all applications in our area start in Jan for fall entry, and of course, I’ll then have 1mo old then. I’m trying to get ahead of the predicted hormonal panic attacks when we have to choose 🤦🏻♀️😩
Other than pure logistics (location, hours, cost) is there anything to look at besides your gut feel?
I go on gut feel when touring. It's very important they let you spend some time (at least 15min) in the room just to observe. I always observe the children more than the teachers. That's what impressed me the most about one of the Montessori places I went to, the kids were so independent and mature. If course not all Montessori places are created equal, the other 5 places I toured were not impressive at all and no better than a regular preschool.
