Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The director of A Kid's Place, is truly gifted when it comes to children. She has the ability to treat each of them as a unique and special individual and knows every child's name, likes/ dislikes, temperament, strengths and weakness... yet never is it a weakness that a child 'has' they just relate in a different way. At any given time, at pick up or drop off, if something happened during your child's day that was of particular interest, she will tell you. She is truly helping create little 'people' who will someday be a part of this world -- with a strong, solid foundation.

Parent #2
The strengths are the large area to play and the distinct classrooms to organize and monitor play. There are a balanced number of teachers to children. The weaknesses are many clinging children during the separation process, the door is too close to the street, they need additional safety precaution, I would love a garden at the school and some emphasis on science.

Parent #3
My child had a terrible experience at another well reputed preschool. He did terribly there, and the teachers did not have the freedom to help him. This school has changed his life. The teachers and administration are the best I have seen, and my child has grown exponentially. Moving him to this school was the best thing I ever did for him.

A Season of Rituals

Darkest December is upon us, and we are all preparing, in our different ways, to light it up with rituals. Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. Parties, tree lightings, and holiday cards. Visits with family. Feasts, gifts, and candles.

Get large plastic buckets (or sand buckets if you have lots of really little toys )in a variety of solid colors (red, blue, yellow, green, pink). Ask your child to clean up his/her toys by putting the toys in the bucket corresponding to the color bucket. Great for teaching personal responsibility, color identification, and sorting.
