Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I've never seen Mare and Theresa's door closed, they greet my son daily with a personal touch, often a hug or high five.
Parent #2
Deop off is never fun, but the extra staff members sure do help ease the transition, and they have interesting things to interest the children with there, very clever toys and games.
Parent #3
Many of the above questions are not applicable, but there is not a N/A choice to check.
Parent #4
We were given his portfolio, with documented pictures and things our child said while creating and learning, he grew over the summer and learned how to count higher, his writing improved and his manners are much better! They wrote him a beautiful letter at the end that we will cherish forever. We love miss Erika and Jodi!
Parent #5
The home visit will be great! He can't wait to show his new teacher his room and car collection!
Parent #6
His teacher visited him at his home this week! Wow, did that make an impression! He cannot stop speaking about how she saw his toys, room, house and parents at his house.
Parent #7
Very very strong Home-School connection. School has not officially begun and yet the teachers have been in our home, we've exchanged multiple e-mails, I have my child's cell phone number and we've visited the school informally 3 times so far and to an Open House!
Parent #8
The school maintains a strong belief in the home school connection. For this reason, my daughter has experienced virtually no anxiety at drop off, for the first time ever. We have been to two other schools in the area, and the strength of the parent teacher community is stronger then we have seen. The management team inspires the teaching staff and ensures a positive and constructive environment for learning.
Parent #9
We receive detailed daily udates from our teacher, complete with a link to pictures and videos from the day, which facilitates dialogue with our preschooler - who loves the updates as much as we do!

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
