How much do you have budgeted for childcare? Many cities/towns do not offer pre k. Also, apply to daycare early, many are very competitive because they have few openings.

Thank you for the useful link! I am going to spend up to $2K per month on the childcare. Do you think it will be enough for a good preschool? Also seems pre-k is not needed if a child is doing well in preschool.

I would pick an area and contact some daycare centers. Some can be under 2k but others are over. The older the child the lower the price and most have different prices depending on if you do 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 hrs a day. Some provide meals and snacks and others do not. I would also point out " good" is subjective. For some people good only has a Montessori or Primrose label.
