Director's Comments
We have a staggered enrollment in September of 4 children each week in our 2 1/2- 3 year olds class. We ask parents to plan and stay at least the first week. We work closely with the children and parents to make the process of separation a smooth one. We do not make anyone leave who does not feel ready. We ask parents to first sit in the class and then later to move to the office. Our lead teacher Lee Kaplin is considered the 'Separation King'. For over twenty years he has treated both parents and children with care and respect.
