DS will be two in February and we'd hoped to start sending him to pre-school then for two days a morning, so he will be settled in by the time DC2 comes along in April.
There are two pre-schools near us, one is a mainstream and one is a Montessori. Both seem nice although we prefer the mainstream one as it is less focused on teaching, and more on free play which I think would be more suitable for him at 2.
The Montessori have places available from Feb and would let us book them now with a £130 deposit. However, the mainstream one will not let us prebook and don't have a waiting list system -- we would have to call in January and find out if there was a place available. They say it's quite likely that they will be full until September.
So WWYD? Enrol him at the Montessori so that he's got a guaranteed place in Feb then change him to the mainstream one in Sept? Is it a bad idea to swap pre-schools after 6 months?
