First Days at School
The first days in preschool can be difficult for both parents and children. We like to handle it as carefully as possible to get the child off to a positive start. If you are not convinced that this will be a wonderful time for your child, then your child will not be either.
1) You are welcome to stay as long as possible. We encourage this.
