Our daughter started at Christine's Place late fall so we did not experience a traditional 'beginning of the year'. We do however have a booklet of policies and guidelines Christine created and published for her families.

Christine just started her preschool but has lots of experience with other preschools. She was last at Millar's Place, where my daughter went last year too. Since she knew Christine, the transition was very easy. Also, since the school is in its 1st year (06-07) and didn't take off until mid school year, Christine's evaluation process is still being formed..
