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?
When visiting a daycare play close attention to the children. Are they happy/laughing/crying/clean/well behaved? Attempt to determine if the providers are there to earn a salary or do they seem to possess a true loving spirit for children.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I believe Bayridge family daycare is a great place to send a child. My daughter has been there since she has been 1 years old and now she is turning 4 . She loves going there, never gives me a complaint. All the caregivers are very affectionate with the children. They also teach them some schooling such as the alphabet,counting, and writing. My daughter was 2 when she learned the whole alphabet and now is beginning to write them.
Parent #2
Teachers were very nic, facility was very clean. Curiculum and structure was non existant. The children were walking around all day watching videos. The upstairs had computers but I never saw them work on them. My son was not happy despite the kindness of the teachers. I believe he was bored with the lack of toys and instruction.

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!
