Preschool and Private Education

Has anyone started applying to preschools yet? I'm 28 weeks and my husband has already started putting our little boy on wait lists and making donations to the
schools. Is this common with preschools?

Also do you mommies do a full day or just a half day then use a nanny. Most of the schools use the latter method as the norm but I have very little experience wilh American protocol with primary education.
Please feel free to let me know your experiences.

The school we are currently looking at costs 30K a year. Is this normal for preschool?

Mrs Hines, I meant to write I understand that private school doesn't guarantee anything. Especially a good career, entrance to tops schools, etc. I just forgot to write the doesnt*

I am very good at research and the last time I checked private school does not guarantee Ivy league nor does Ivy league =millionaire let alone billionaire; not too many of those in the world anyway. But we can all have dreams and aspirations. Wish you guys well in your search for elite/private preschools.

Dallasmom,  I know I often post to you in a negative way,  but it really seems like you are so very focused in a direction that won't be helpful to the baby,  and when your child is in his/her teens you will wonder about your priorities.  I'm really always so dismayed at reading your posts that focus on where you can spend the most amount of money possible to get baby items.  It's distressing.  Honestly, it's like watching a Cheers episode of Frasier and Lilith,  before they had baby Frederick,  but that was acknowledged as comedy.  

In case you wonder,  I have money.  I just don't post on the internet on maternity forums for ideas about how to spend the most I can possibly spend for baby items.  

I honestly think you'll look back on this time,  in 20 years,  and wished you had your priorities arranged differently.  

Think playdoh,  not prada.
