Savvy Source's Comments
In our infant classes through pre-kindergarten, our daily "Parent Report" form, in addition to the on-going, informal conversations you will have with your child's teacher, is one way of sharing with you what, why, and how we do things. All our staff can also be contacted through our voice mail and e-mail systems. We've installed state-of-the-art webcam systems that are linked to www.carpeidiempreschool.com, which enable parents to watch their children right from their computers at home or work. We have a Parent Resource Center page on our website and information bulletin boards in our hallways where we post monthly newsletters and calendars, daily schedules, menus, weekly curriculum highlights, and monthly teacher newsletters. In addition, we have parent-teacher conferences scheduled three times throughout the year, special programs and family events, holiday celebrations, parent education workshops, and ways for parents to volunteer their special interests and talents.

Director's Comments
We encourage parents to come to our lobby where our administrators will greet you warmly, assist you to check-in using our fingerprint scan system, escort you to your child's classroom, and help you get your child settled. We recommend keeping the goodbye reassuring, short, and sweet. Prolonging the inevitable often does not help the situation- ten minutes or so should do it; however we won't rush you and respect your right to decide how to best handle this situation with your child.
