Parents' Comments

Parent #1
At the beginning of each day the children are encouraged to take part in free play at a variety of stations throughout the classroom. The teachers have small groups of children work on the lesson for that day. Although a music teacher is not a part of the school, children sing and listen to music daily. In addition, children have the opprtunity to enroll in Kinderdance, which is held on Friday after the regular preschool program.
