UPDATE: Readers' Choice: What Preschool Is Best?

Two new schools were added upon request. We know Los Altos parents care when it comes to schools, starting with preschool, so weigh in this week!

Editor's Update: We have added Twinkle Twinkle and LAUMC Children's Center upon request from readers.

Patch's Readers' Choice contest asks you to name the preschool you think is best.

Where to send their toddlers to preschool is one of the most important decisions faced by young parents.

Studies have shown that early childhood education programs help youngsters be better prepared for kindergarten. 

In Los Altos, we're fortunate to have a good selection of excellent preschools that accept children as young as 3 and 4 years old, with flexible schedules such as just a few hours a day and as often as five times a week.
