Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
...are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parent #1
The paint on the outside games is chipping. The toys they play with have rust. A junked car and piano sit in the rear parking lot. Dirty mops and buckets are near entrance.

Parent #2
Since enrolling my child in this facility she has NEVER been sick (she was always sick at her last daycare). There are set guidelines for children not coming to school with illness that is definitely followed. The school is clean and very, very safe

Parent #3
The bathrooms are always clean, this school has a person dedicated to maintaining the school clean and safe for the children, and she does an amazing job!...also, the outside play area is large and it provides an imagination to be explored.

Parent #4
There are a variety of activities for them to be involved in. The different classes/ages groups have separate play times so that everyone has an opportunity to explore and play without overcrowding or overpowering older children.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
