Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Smaller ratios allow teachers to help children solve problems. Our children can be outside most of the day. All program areas are provided outside. We believe learning should be fun and is initiated by an inquisitive child. We set up a learning environment to assist children in this quest. Our goal is to make them socially and emotionally ready to enjoy success in school and life.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I feel like the school is designed very well with the children in mind. The play areas and classrooms are full of opportunity for the child. I think my children have learned more than I could have hoped from a preschool. But I do feel like they need to work on feedback for parents; I feel out of touch with what happens in the day.
Parent #2
This is a preschool with teachers who really care. My daughter loves this school and is completely secure with the environment.

Being Savvy Today
My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
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!
