Parents' Comments
Parent #1
For the question on how this school handles preschool separation I just chose the answer that was closest to the truth but none of them really applied. To be honest separation wasn't much of an issue for my child either of the years she attended the JCC preschool because she was older. She had started at a toddler program a couple years before and there separation was more of an issue. Once she got to this preschool she was 'over' the separation process. However I do believe that if a child had separation issues at this preschool there would be staff available to help the child through his/her difficult time. I also wanted to comment on the question of kindergarten guidance:In my case I wasn't provided any because I didn't ask. I felt I knew what was best in terms of Kindergarten for my child and my family. I'm sure if I needed guidance my child's teachers at this preschool would have offered me advice.
