In searching for a preschool for our VERY energetic soon-to-be-2-year-old son, we've come to feel that the playground is one of the top considerations. We're looking specifically for a preschool with a playground that:

- has a LARGE outdoor area
- offers free and total accessibility all day long (kids can wander in and out as they choose)
- has both good shade and good sun -- in other words an all-weather play area (well, except for rain or storms!)
- has solid high fences for security and privacy
- has natural features -- trees, grass, flowers, birds ...
- is in a quiet, peaceful setting -- not right next to a busy road, freeway, train-track, etc.

Can anyone make a recommendation based just on this criteria? We realize that a place this good may not even exist, but -- we hope! Thanks! Colleen Recommendations received:
