Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Though there are not formal parent/teacher 'sit down' conferences scheduled, each teacher has a policy that if a parent has a question or issue regarding their child, they will make time to talk face-to-face with the parent at a scheduled time before or after school. A conference during drop off or pick-up is not encouraged so the teacher can have her full attention on the children. The parents are given phone numbers and e-mail addresses of each teacher and are encouraged to keep in contact with the teacher regarding their child.
Parent #2
The question about the preschool helping you to select an appropriate kindergarten or elementary school doesn't apply because that is totally determined by where you live.
Parent #3
I love that they have a drop off lane for morning drop offs. My daughter loves it so much, she claps when we drive up!! (And tells mommy 'byeee'!)
Parent #4
The teachers and staff at CCDC are great. This was our first experience with a preschool and the school made us feel welcome and treated my child as if he was their own.

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
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
