Parents' Comments
Parent #1
There isn't a formal parent organization, but there is a large group of students/parents that have been together since when my child started that get together. Even though they didn't meet with us specifically to go over curriculum, I see that they focus on a letter of the week, state of the week, sign language(basic signs/letters), small and large motor skills, and phonics. As an elementary teacher myself, I can see that my child will be very prepared for Kindergarten. Their PreK program matches our school systems' objectives exactly. Also, for transitions, students are allowed to "visit" in the room that they will be advancing too for short amounts of time each day before the actual move occurs. There usually isn't transition problems due to this strategy.
