Microsoft Offers Preschool Evaluation

"Since most of us spend our lives doing ordinary tasks, the most important thing is to carry them our extraordinarily well." - Favorite quote of Australian architect Glenn Murcutt

MICROSOFT OFFERS PRESCHOOL EVALUATION

The homepage of MSN recently had this intriguing headline: "signs of a bad preschool". Curious what Microsoft would consider a "bad" preschool, we followed this header and it took us to BabyCenter.com, a Johnson and Johnson company. BabyCenter identified these warning signs:

* A so-so rating from parents
* Loose rules and poor organization
*  Lack of age-appropriate curriculum
* An underqualified, undercompensated staff
* Dirty, unsafe facilities
* An expired license
