Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Very happy with the teachers and the curriculum. Food program is good, but could be better (ie corn dogs as a lunch item).
Parent #2
There have been too many transitions - from one classroom to another and also, a lot of teacher turnover
Parent #3
My daughter has gained the prepartion necessary to be ready for Kindergarten, her school has had several field trips and in addition the school provides healthy hot lunches so she will know what to expect in Elementary School.
Parent #4
This is a large preschool and you have to make a point of finding out information, but staff is friendly and helpful and are readily accessible. The facilities are very nice and the teachers are wonderful. There is not as much parent involvement as I would have thought, but this means that you can either be very involved or not at all, there are no set rules.
Parent #5
I feel my expectations have been met.
Parent #6
Sometimes I wish the teachers paid a little more attention to the children while on the playground. The teachers spend a little too much time socializing with other teachers and not being as aware as they could be regarding the interaction and safety of the children while on the playground.

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
