Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Separation was extremely effective as the teachers came for a home visit and spent 30 mins with the kids. They also encouraged us to take pictures. One of my sons did not have any easy time with separation so the teachers allowed him to bring a toy from home and also read his favorite book to him when he was upset. my son developed a very special relationship with one of the teachers during this process and has become very attached to her.
