Director's Comments
'The first few days of preschool are very exciting for parent and child, but it can also be a difficult time. However eager your child seems to begin preschool, there will be a moment when s/he realizes that you are not going to be there. The apprehension that accompanies that realization is a normal one, for both of you. Most children have little difficulty adjusting to preschool; nevertheless, a gradual separation is important to assure a smooth transition. The staff of Susan Sims Bodenstein Preschool is committed to giving you support and time to make this adjustment period as pleasant as possible.' -- Extracted from the Mishkon Tephilo Susan Sims Bodenstein Preschool website
