Five school open days, all on Saturday mornings, the only morning we have

Daughter is 3, we're applying for LKG for next June. Five schools on the list and every single open day is a Saturday morning between now and December. Saturday is the one morning nobody in this house has to be anywhere, and we're all tired by then. Is skipping the open days a mistake? Could we just visit the offices on weekdays instead?

When our daughter was at this stage, we went to two open days and visited the other schools on weekdays. The open days were useful mainly for seeing the classrooms with the children's work on the walls. The weekday visits were better for questions, because the office staff had time to talk. I would phone each school first and ask whether a weekday visit is possible. Which two you keep for Saturdays is then up to you.
