Individual conferences are held with each family, including the child that will be attending prior to the school year starting. Each child gets to spend time with their teacher, become acquainted with their classroom, cubby, restrooms and playground. Low key activities are planned at the beginning of the school year so that all staff can spend additional time nurturing and interacting with the children.
