Parent/teacher meetings - a formal meeting is held once a year . There is also ongoing daily communication.
Separation

Beginning of the year separation is handled through:
- Abbreviated schedule at start of school year
- Parents in classroom early on
- Pre-entry meetings with parents at school

Director's Comments
The best way is for the parent to stay with the child until they are comfortable. Abbreviating the schedule 30 minutes/day; 45 minutes/day; 60 minutes/day by day 3, etc. If a parent is comfortable, a confident goodbye and notice to be close by in case we have to call for a pick up.

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Make sand at home! Half the fun is creating, and half is playing with the material. Mix all listed ingredients together in a plastic bin, and then give your child small containers, shovels, funnels so that they can dump and fill. Toy cars and bulldozers are also a lot of fun.
