Tribune’s ABCs of Preschool
The Trib ran and article today about the basics of finding a pre-school in Chicago. There seem to be a few nuggets of helpful information throughout. I’ve found that the Tribune’s reporting on child-related topics (especially by this particular reporter) tend to be very anecdote-based. She interviews a few people in the same neighborhood (maybe even her friends, who knows?) and seems to report things as trends.

Anyhow, the article says the following about neighborhood CPS pre-school, which I know isn’t true. Most that I’m aware of seem to be pretty full and you need to get your butt in pronto to get a spot. (Well, now I’m using anecdotal evidence to make a point. Actually, this whole blog is based on just one person’s experience – mine – so who am I to criticize? Then again, she’s getting stuff published in a major news source and getting paid and I am not. So there.)
How to apply: If you decide to send your child to the public school within your attendance boundaries, you likely don’t need to fill out an application to attend.
