Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The school has an open door policy but the only home-school connection is through monthly preschool newsletters that only place an overview of what the kids are going to learn. The only way you get a specific mention of what the kids are going to learn on a daily basis is by physically reading the calendar on the wall by the door. For separation anxiety, our son would cry for 5 minutes and then engage in toys or puzzles and begin to acclimate to the classroom at his pace. Usually, the teacher would help with this. The school has a great open door policy, which is how we were able to observe our son's behavior unnoticed. Some of the teachers are genuinely concerned for the kids, but you can easily tell the ones that are not or might be having a bad day. The Director of the Preschool is the one we had a major issues with. She needs to connect with her staff more so that all staff are on the same page.
