Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The school itself doesn't provide tips on kindergartens, for example, but the Yahoo groups, both school- and class-wide, are invaluable resources for referrals and asking questions. My son has flourished at the co-op. For me, teachers strike just the right balance between letting children be themselves and pursue their interests against maintaining order and gentle guidance.
Parent #2
This is a co-op, so parents are expected to volunteer in the classroom as an assistant to the teacher on average about once a month. This is in addition to other jobs at the school expected of you. There is a high level of involvement in the school. Each classroom has a 'room parent' responsible for the classroom families' social activities. The amount of coordinated outside activity is dependant on the 'room parent'

Being Savvy Today
On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
