Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I am not sure if my school has a parent/teacher conference. I feel like the communication between the teachers and the parents is good. I receive a note everyday about what my child has done at school. Sometimes the notes are specific to my child only.
Parent #2
At the beginning of the year orientation, our school did say they would tell us how our child has progressed.
Parent #3
This school was terrible with dealing with separation anxiety!!!! I actually overheard the teacher telling my son to quit crying and grow up. He was 3!!! We finally left when I dropped in mid day to drop something off and heard the teacher ask him "what's wrong with you...why are you crying? Quit it!" We left that day and didn't go back.

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?
