Director's Comments
Parents are allowed to call in as many times as they want for updates on how their children are doing. They are also welcome to stay in the classroom for a while, provided this isn't contraindicated. Parents are encouraged to give us as much information about the child's behavior, moods, likes and dislikes as possible to speed up the process of "getting to know" the child. Favorite comfort items, pictures of mom and dad and familure foods often helps the transition. We encorage the child to attach to one specific teacher initally.
