Book Reviews of The Whitney Guide to L.A.'s Top Private Preschools
Book Review: Take this book with a grain of salt.
Summary: 3 Stars
The author writes very grandly about her opinions of the schools she reviews, but her perspective is extremely subjective and not particularly well-informed. I don't doubt this book is helpful in terms of quantifying available schools, but try to resist forming opinions about these schools based on Ms. Whitney's subjective reviews alone. This guide is also not a very realistic financial resource for parents who, for instance, can't spend $8000 per 9-month "year" on a 2.5 hour program (that's the cost of one of the schools she absolutely loved). She does not realistically break out the costs of the schools and does not help inform about the school cultures, both of which are very important considerations when you're looking at nursery schools. She's pretty transparent about her "love" of some of the more pricey, exclusive schools, even though as we all know, price and quality are not always linked.
