I know it's kinda early, but if I want to enrol dd in a private school, I should have done it the day she was born with some of the ones around here!

Basically, I'm tossing up whether I want to send dd to a private school or public. Money is not the issue, it's more the fact that all private schools pretty much are religious.
Dh and I aren't fond of religion, so that's pretty much the turn off when we think about it, but I feel (and dh agrees) private schools give much better education, and money isn't particularly an issue. I know first hand as I went to a private school and have seen the difference of kids who came to our school from public ones. My mum also works in public schools, and she is adamant that private provides a much better education.

Though there are a couple good public schools we either are zoned into or could be zoned into if she goes to the right daycare.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Want to go privately but didn't like something that private/public did or didn't do/have? How did you make your decision?
