Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Regarding the separation process - at first when I learned that you are not allowed to spend time in the classroom the first day (the separation process), I was concerned. Now that I have been through it (and I have a son who has a terrible time separating), I totally understand the reasoning and am thankful for the way it is done. As soon as I was out of sight my son was well taken care of in a loving way and he was perfectly fine.
Parent #2
In response to the Parent Community, the school year has just started and most of us are just starting to meet. My answers for those question were more geared toward my daughters 2 completed years at the school since we all became close during that time.
Parent #3
The teachers were friendly and nurturing and provided lots of activities that encouraged the parents to participate and engage in the classroom. The director was wonderful at greeting each parent either in the morning for drop off or pick up which helped make the school inviting and welcoming.
Parent #4
Although Solana Beach Pres is a play based preschool, they do incorporate learning into the daily play routines and provide information to the parents as to how our children are doing in the major learning areas.
