My son is 2 years old. He turns 3 in October, after most of the deadlines for that school year. So he actually won't be accepted until 2006. I was wondering what the best preschools in the Chicago area (preferably on the North side) and the best academic programs he can attend until he is able to attend preschool. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I tried looking online and couldn't find much. I'm looking for magnet programs. Private, public it doesn't matter to me, I would prefer that he doesn't need to where a uniform though. I'm looking for the better quality programs. Thanks so much
