Director's Comments
We encourage parents to come into the classroom and spend a pre-determined amount of time with their child. The parent then notifies the teacher that they are leaving. The teacher will then offer comfort and engage the child in the classroom activities. Parents are encouraged to call is they have concern about how their child is handling the separation.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The preschool made the transition for my child very easy for me. She felt comfortable in the classroom early on, and the teachers are so kind and loving to the children. Parents are welcome to visit anytime, as long as they check through the office. The office does a great job at knowing who is on campus at all times.
Parent #2
Open communication between teachers, staff and parents.
Parent #3
The staff is interested in our family and prays for special concerns throughout the year
