Labor Day is right around the corner and that means making the calls for preschool tours or sending your little one off to his very first school experience. This event could make your life a little easier. Jenifer Wana, author of How to Choose the Best Preschool for Your Child: The Ultimate Guide to Finding, Getting Into, and Preparing for Nursery School, will hares fun, practical tips for preparing your child for the first day of school.

Choosing and getting into the right preschool can be a daunting and time-consuming task for parents, particularly in Manhattan where choices abound but competition can be fierce.

•What criteria to consider
•What to ask and observe during your preschool visit
•Advice on admission essays, interviews, and wait lists for those applying to competitive schools

•Advice to help your child prepare for the first day of preschool
