Savvy Source's Comments
"To insure that parents receive accurate information, we utilize a variety of modes of communication, such as newsletters, email, notes, and parent teacher conferences. There are many ways for parents to remain involved with the Nursery School program. An active Parent Committee works on school/center events and issues. A committed Library Committee continues with development of our library and assists with the bookfair. Each class has two Class Parents to assist the teachers in their goals. We invite parents to join a class to share a book, a recipe, a story or to lead a project." (Extracted from the preschool's website)

Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I love the school and parents I know feel the same way. It's a wonderful facility with warm caring people and an after school program that is fantastic.
Parent #2
Before the start of the school year the parents and students are invited to make an appointment to meet the teachers. This is an individual meeting which takes place in the child's classroom and allows the parents and child to familiarize themselves with the classroom and teacher and for the parents to discuss any concerns or questions they may have for the upcoming school year.

A Great Book Rhymes!
Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and
