Check Out Local Preschools & Child Cares at 'Preview Night' Wednesday

Parents from Belmont to Palo Alto are invited to 'Preschool Preview Night' at the Community Activities Building on Roosevelt Avenue Wednesday evening.

Choosing the right child care, preschool, or other early-development program is one of the most important and often difficult decisions a parent can make.

That's why, each year, a number of local resources and organizations team up to host "Preschool Preview Night," to help give parents the information necessary to help them make the best decisions possible for their children.

The Redwood City Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, the Redwood City Mother's Club, and Bay Area Parent Magazine are teaming up to host this year's Preschool Preview Night - a preschool, child care and parent resource fair that has become a key resource for local parents considering their child's early care and education, coming up on Wednesday, Jan. 16. This free, informative open house event will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Community Activities Building at 1400 Roosevelt Ave.

Parents will also have the opportunity to take in a special presentation on "Choosing a Quality Preschool and Child Care," courtesy of the Child Care Coordinating Council, at 5:30 or 6:30 p.m.. 

Parents are invited to drop in to see displays and obtain information from a variety of early care and education programs in the mid-Peninsula region, between Belmont and Palo Alto. Representatives from these programs will be available to talk with parents about their organizations and to help determine which programs might be the best "fit" for their kids.

Parents' questions about family child care homes, state licensing, in-home care, quality indicators, accreditation and more can be answered, giving them the tools necessary to help them make informed and intelligent decisions about their child's care and educational development.

General information on the Preschool Preview Night is available by calling 650-780-7311 or by e-mailing schoolevent@rwcmc.org

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family. Real estate will definately be cheaper, which is my bigest gripe with rentals in the bay area. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. Linda Allen

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet AmericaRead More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
