Applying for preschools

A

Hey folks I was just wondering how many of you already have your kiddo signed up for preschool for Fall 2019,

In my area (Seattle) I was apparently late in applying for the fall as most preschools did their open houses in Nov. Dec. & Jan. & had their application deadlines @ the beginning of Feb. I didn’t even start touring places until the end of Feb. so now I find myself trying to get my daughter into the last available spots or on waitlists,

For those of you who’ve already gotten it taken care of (or have older children & have gone thru this before) did you apply to multiple places just in case you couldn’t get into your 1st choice? Right now I’m waiting to hear back from my 1st choice & just feeling kinda stressed about it!
