Parents' Comments
Parent #1
My daughter did not have any separation issues, so I am not as familiar w/ how the school handles this issue. The school offers two or three family events during the year. One was a family music time in the morning, another was a late-afternoon gathering with families at the school playground.

There is always a brief exchange of info at drop off and pick-up, and the teacher are very open and approachable. Younger grades (ages 1.5-3) there is also a little slip sent home with nap times, diaper change, eating information, and general overview of day sent home.
Parent #4
I always feel comfortable contacting the teachers and director at Abbott regarding my children and their experience at Abbott.
