Director's Comments
Teachers maintain child development portfolios for each child which are shared with parents specifically during parent-teacher conferences, as well as informally throughout the year. Monthly newsletters communicate information with regard to programming and special activities planned for the children and families. Weekly, a memo is distributed to parents to highlight special activities and events for the upcoming week. Snack menus, lesson plans and information regarding any staffing changes are also included in the weekly memo. Lesson plans and menus are also uploaded weekly to the Center's website. A password-protected portion of the website also shares digital photographs of the children engaged in classroom and playground activities, as well as powerpoint slideshows. The Director is President of the local chapter of the New Jersey Association for the Education of Young Children (largest NJ chapter with 600+ members). Support staff serve on the local board of directors for the NJAEYC local affiliate and participate in the organization's activities.
Separation

Director's Comments
Our classrooms have observation rooms adjacent to them in which parents may observe classroom activities. Observation rooms are equipped with 2-way mirrors and sound systems so that parents may observe and hear the activities without being observed by the children. We have additional staff members on hand all year long to facilitate separations and to assist in transitioning the children into classroom activities.

My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
