Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The school's programs are strong in some areas and very weak in others. Many of the teachers are inot suited to work with preschoolers. So, you have to "be in the loop" and request the good teachers. The music teacher is talented in music but not talented to work with children. The Spanish teacher is very nice, but she doesn't speak Spanish. The director is indifferent to any issues that arise. The day care director is very good. But, the day care staff uses poor music choices for nap time. The music isn't suited for children. The school calender isn't great for working mom's. It's more suited for mother's who do not work. This was once known as a very good program, but the teacher selection seems to have deteriated over the last few years. The activities are good for the children as long as the teachers remember that they are for children and not for the teachers. The teachers are bad about socially embarrasing children as a form of discipline. Time out seems to be part of the regular routine in music. The class size is very good for 2K, 3K, and 4K. 12:1 Ratio on average.

The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

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!
