Parents' Comments

Parent #1
My daughter started in Jan., so I don't know about what happens in the beginning of the year. She also did not have seperation anxiety, so I didn't deal w/that.

Parent #2
Our son started in the two year old/early three classroom. I would not recommend this classroom. However, I highly recommend the three/four year old class and the four/five year old class because those teachers are wonderful.

Parent #3
very open staff.

Parent #4
The director and teachers are always available and eager to talk about my children. The director often goes way beyond what I would consider to be "just enough" contact with me and other parents.
