Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The director and teachers are fantastic about communicating what is happening with my child on a daily basis, even if it's just to tell me a funny thing he said. They truly care about every child and treat each one as an individual.
Parent #2
There is a male teacher with a Montessori background who is a tremendous mentor and positive figure for the boys.

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.

I'm closing in on the this list of a hundred things every San Francisco kid must do. This week, I thought I'd stay at home and write up some S.F.-inflected indoor activities. 71. Have a face-painting and dressup party. (Nothing says San Francisco like a feather boa.) 72. Make homemade presents
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
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.
