Questions for Pre-School

I am going to my first pre-school open house (LANK in Reston if anyone has any input) this week.  What questions should I ask?  I already know about potty-training, tuition, hours, and stuff...what else should I ask about??

 

Thanks!

    ask what he'll learn, what time do they nap? what do they expect of him in terms of independence? How old are the other kids? ratio of teacher-student

    what style of discipline do they use, what is their sick policy, and if it's anything like the school my girls go to - find out when they're closed.  (the school my kids go to closes for all sorts of things, for a total of about six weeks a year).

    ETA:  Ask what curriculum they use - there are about 3 or 4 I found that most preschools use.  Then Google the curriculum and make sure the spirit behind it matches what you want for your kid.

    Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.

    The other questions are great, I would just add one that I wish I asked.  Ask about the food if they serve it.  Who makes it, what substitutes are available, what is their snack policy.  I like our pre-school, but I really dislike the food they serve.  Enough that I send lunch on occasion and healthy snacks often.
