Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I could not answer a lot of the questions about the end of the year since we haven't been through that yet. Because of it's day care component and optional full-day schedule, this school caters to a lot of families with working parents, therefore the parent 'community' is not all that cohesive. (At least from my perspective as a working mom who does not get to do drop off or pick up and so has very limited contact with the teachers and other parents.)
Parent #2
Since this preschool serves families from quite a number of neighboring communities/towns, it's harder for the school to provide kindergarten info or foster parent-parent contact. I would call it a very friendly parent community though.
