Director's Comments
We have Parent/Teacher conferences twice a year. Teacher discusses the child's goals reached in the past 6 months and sets goals for next 6 months. We have a Curriculm night which parents attend to see milestons child has reached. The parents see art projects, pictures of children doing activities, writing samples, etc. Director sends emails to parents to nofify them of events or other annoucements.
We talk about the chld's mielstones and goals reached but do not make recommendations for Kindergarten.

In includes things such as (reducing nap time) teaching children social graces (ask to go to bathroom), carrying trays with food, etc.

Have your child clean old coins to make them sparkle again. Fill a bowl with a small amount of soapy water and place a few coins in the bowl. Your child will have fun brushing the coins with a toothbrush to make them look brand new. When the coins are as clean as your child can make them, dry them with a paper towel.
