Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The director of the school doesn't feel it is her place to foster social connections among families. But through inviting our daughter's friends to her birthday party in early December, we immediately started receiving at least one, sometimes two invitations to other parties each month, as well as to many playdates.

The Teddy Bear Club has an open door policy, but encourage parents to leave quickly so parents do not disrupt the daily routine. I wish the parent community was more active.
