Director's Comments
We have an orientation at the beginning of school as well as Open house. We provide a fall program and a graduation program. We have conferences with parents and rate the children upon them entering our class and again in the spring. These reports go home and parents can call for a conference with the teacher to discuss any concerns they may have.

Director's Comments
We ask the parent to pick the child up early the first few days but to make sure they do not miss a day. We feel it is best if the parent doesn't stay at first but once the child adjust they can stop by or arrange to have lunch. We also hold the child and reassure them that mommy or daddy will come back to get them.
