Pre-Schools in Area

I have a daughter who will be three in Sept. I am wondering if any of you can direct me towards local pre-schools, and also what your experiences have been if your child has attended? I am looking for a 2 or 3 partial day per week program. I know about St. Rita's, but there is a waiting list to get on the waiting list. I have heard about the Roan School. Last I heard Montessori in Rosemary Beach was requiring a 5 day program. (That is too much time away for me.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Phoenix Rising

I agree that Director is going to get swamped...it would just be so nice if the person who answers the phone would sound as though she cared that you were calling to try and find a place for your child. A little sensitivity would go a long way for people who are so desperately trying to find a place for their children...and, especially from a church! Guess I expected a bit more.

I totally agree. (I won't go into my opinion about where some of the rudest people in this world are....;-) ) It didn't help me that as soon as the receptionist picked up the phone, all three of mine plus a friend of theirs got ear-piercingly loud. She was really short with me, but Dana was nice after that.

This is one of those other "things" that SoWal needs.... a good pre-k program in the local area, b/c we aren't all tourists.:!:

Jacobs Ladder is on Beach Drive in Destin. (Destin United Methodist) My 4 year old goes 3 days a week from 9-2 and I pay $115 a month. The director, Ms. Sherry has been there for 15 years and is awesome!

Another option in Destin is Under D Sea. It's on Commons Drive behind Bealls. They have a drop-off program, and are pretty flexible (1 day/week to 5/week). I'm pretty sure you can also just take the kids on an as-needed basis -- nice when you need to go shopping in Destin, and it's fun for the kids. They just changed their hours, though, so I'm scrambling for part-time afternoon care for my 2-year-old.
Thanks for all the info! I've been calling a lot of the places you recommeded today...
