Director's Comments
We have 2 open houses per year; parent teacher conferences once a year; report cards once a year; back to school night; flyers with information about programs in the community. The teachers provide their home numbers so parents can reach them with concerns about their children. We have a website with a link to the monthly newsletter and a calendar of information for the month. There are also bulletin boards with information about field trips, and important dates. Parents can request to speak to a teacher any time they are at school.
Separation
Beginning of the year separation is handled through:
- Pre-entry meetings with parents at school
- Extra staff dedicated to handle separation
- Abbreviated schedule at start of school year

Director's Comments
Teachers and teacher assistants help the children to separate as easily as possible. We provide refreshments for the first week of school so that parents can be nearby to reassure their child. We will hold and comfort a child if necessary. We also allow parents to stay with the children until they are comfortable if necessary.
