Ok, even if you get to know all of the neighbors you're not going to know their personal business or what their own children have access to.

You can gradually discuss it, but if they've had talks with other kids at all (this is terrible in public and private school systems) then they're probably going to know already beforehand.

Look. I can tell you now that we have all of these beautiful dreams about exactly what sort of parents we are going to be, and we're ready to retort back to anyone who already has children with judgement aplenty and talks about how we would do things differently. Unless you live in a controlled bubble environment,it's impossible. I will wish you luck on it, either way.

I'll try my best. But without a plan there can be no goal. You surely see that.

Of course i can't control everything. I don't even want to. I teached for too long to not know this.

But i will have a say in what picture my children get of these things. A lot of fear and hate on different genders, ways to have "sex" and this stuff in younger people comes because it was such a big secret or "non-topic" in their own childhood, imho. I will at least try to mitigate this.
