Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Weekday is a loving and flexible school. The children are handled individually as it comes to making the best seperations, learning styles, other. Especially in the 3 year-old room, there is always a teacher willing to meet any sad children on their terms until they become comfortable with the school. Over my 6 years (3 children) at the school, I have seen the school change policies and approaches to respond to individual children's needs and to keep up with the latest focuses on safety and health. The school does not have a 'learning curriculm' per say, it is focused on play to build social wellness and introduces important age appropriate concepts like colors, letters, numbers, seasons, healthy habits and etc. my children loved it.

Drop-in Policy
