With all the great public and private schools in the Greater Boston area, choosing a preschool or school can be a difficult choice. One resource we found for looking at schools was attending open houses. This is a good basis for determining what you want and what is out there. Fall is a Open House "season" for private schools, with the application process beginning not long after.
The Independent Schools in New England website is one resource for tracking dates and locations:
Open House Link, Fall 2012
Some schools require advance registration for Open Houses, and if you miss the date, they will fulfill requests for scheduling (usually group) tours at later dates.

Brooksby Farm
A little farm and pick-your-on spot in Peabody, close to Route 1, Brooksby Farm offers seasonal fruit picking and has a few animals for kids to view also. The animals include llamas, a variety of birds, and some pigs. It's a manageable spot for a day trip with little ones and not too far to walk into the Orchard and picking areas. They also have a great little farmstand with fresh produce and baked items, as well as homemade jellies and jams. Weekday summer picking is not crowded and the fruit is plentiful.
