DD1 isn't going to Kindy because we decided to HS but before we made the decision I had picked out a really nice kindy for her. Basically what I wanted was everything LS said I also asked about discipline. I wanted somewhere that would treat my children how I treated them i.e. explaining, teaching empathy, acknowledging, helping them deal with their emotions, not punitive discipline or even time-outs really. The most important thing was how I felt when I was there though. It felt very homely and comfortable. It wasn't all sterile and extremely neat and tidy. It was clean but had a lovely lived in feel ITMS
