Readers' Choice: Nominate the Best Preschool/Daycare

Editor's Note: Voting in the poll will close at 11:59 p.m. on August 17, 2012.

Preschool is important. It's the first opportunity for our children to learn in a group setting, and it sets the stage for the rest of their educational lives.

We'd like to know which preschool is the best one you've encountered in Rancho Santa Margarita. But because they're so similar—and because they'll take kids who are even younger—let's put daycare into the mix as well.

Do you prefer a church-based program? A co-op? One offered at a local elementary? 

Patch is relaunching its Readers’ Choice program and we’re asking you, your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else who knows about the community to nominate the best in the Rancho Santa Margarita, Las Flores, Trabuco Canyon area.

Nominate your favorite in the comments below through July 9. After that, the top candidates based on the comments will go into a poll that will allow Patch followers a chacne to choose the Patch Readers Choice Awards for 2012.
