Director's Comments
We feel parents are as important as children. We have established parent support group meetings. These meetings are held every other month. Parents have the opportunity to talk about any issues they feel are important. Furthermore, if there are any issues parents would like us to research in preparation for a meeting, we are happy to do so. We also offer guest speakers on certain subjects. We have daily logs to report the day's events as well as a monthly calendar to inform parents of upcoming events.We also provide a kindergarten readiness seminar/parent meeting for those who are interested.

Being Savvy Today
My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
