Director's Comments
Our program has at least 2 parent/teacher conferences per program year. The first one is within the first 60 days of your child's first day in the program. The teacher will share with you what we have determined to be your child's strengths and areas needing development. During the conference, the teacher will share what will be done in the classroom and what you can do at home to support this development.
Throughout the program year, there are monthly parent meetings. They are governed by parents and there is a large parent education component. Nutrition, child development, child behavior, community resources and guest speakers are all part of these meetings.

Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and
