Parents' Comments
Parent #1
We are permitted to stay in the classroom at the start of each day for approximately 10-15 minutes. At this time we can read to our kids, get them adjusted and begin to say our good-byes. This process was very difficult for my child but over the course of a month or two he slowly began to feel at home in his school setting and so the need to stay longer wasn't' necessary. Doing it this way took the edge off of the immediate drop-off without giving the child the time to adjust.
Parent #2
For the youngest children, the parents or caregivers are in the classroom with the children through age 2 1/2.
