Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parent #1
Weekday is great. The teacher's are wonderful. Some parents when visiting the school may feel the playgrounds are on the smaller side. Having been there for many outside times, the kids don't care. They love having a paved space to ride the cozy coups around. The teachers also take the kids on neighborhood walks (which the kids love even more) and sometimes go to the larger city park next store.

Parent #2
2 outdoor spaces, 3 - 4 indoor rooms for two large classes -- different levels, tents, structures, lots and lots of toys
