For me it's not so much public vs. private, it's more Christian vs. secular. I chose to place my son in a private Christian school so that he could be in an environment where the principles of the Word of God would be incorporated into his curriculum - his text books incorporated Christian principles. My son is now in 2nd grade, but has been in Christian child care facilities since I first put him in day care, then preschool, and now elementary. Although I am instilling Christian principles in my son at home, I wanted them to be reinforced at his school, especially in these young foundational years.
My son plays on a neighborhood basketball and track team to teach him sports and how to be a team player - this compensates for him not having a sports program in his school. He does have music, sign language, Spanish, art, and computer in his school curriculum though, so I think he'll be pretty well-rounded.
It's working for us and is a great blessing.
