Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The teachers seem to have low energy towards activities with the children. There is a slight tension between the staff, which affects the behavior of the children. I think the director could improve on communication skills with teachers and parents, when she is there.
I love the events ideas, but not the attitudes of the staff.

Parent #2
The director has a great philosophy but doesn't seem to implement it evenly in the school. You would think that a preschool in an elementary school setting would be higher quality. We were very disappointed and had to withdraw our child for safety reasons.

Extraordinary director. Teachers possess warmth, energy and creativity. SBCDC is a special place. There are excellent resources for learning and play. The entire staff knows the children as individuals and does a great job of educating and caring for them.

I cannot imagine that there would be anything that you would be dissapointed with in this school. I always felt that my children were well looked after and safe while in their care. I feel as though they helped us, as parents, lay a strong foundation for learning and gave them a fair understanding and blueprint of what to expect and how to behave in a school enviornment. I HIGHLY reccomend this school.

Parent #5
The toddler center at this school is very good. One of the few that takes kids at the age of 18 months. Very flexible hours and good teacher to student ratio. The preschool program is okay, but not as strong. Large and somewhat impersonal.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

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

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!
