If you want your child to be confined to a small space, unloved, unsupported, forced into a rigid schedule and generally, judged, then this is the school for you.
Parent #2
The school worked very closely with me to establish a smooth transition
Parent #3
The director went to the class to check on my child...the teacher called and emailed me...

Separation was hard for us, but really not for our kids. And the director always gave heklpful answers to our expressed concerns.

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?
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!
