Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The Duck Pond teachers are very supportive. I have always felt comfortable talking about issues that have come up, such as a new sibling. Also, my son has done special projects based on his ability and interest. The community of parents is wonderful. There is a committee to help out families, such as making food when a new baby is born.
