Savvy Source's Comments
Open communication is the foundation of a harmonious child care facility. Please make use of our willingness to listen by communicating your needs and concerns as they arise. The lead teacher in your room, the Executive Director, and the Assistant Director are the persons directly responsible for the operation of the Center and have the training and experience to answer your questions and solve any problems that may arise. Forms of communication: Daily Notes are placed on each child's hook at the end of the day in Rooms 2, 3, and 4. These notes briefly describe the child's day, including information about eating and sleeping. Weekly Lesson Plans are sent home each Friday. The Center News is sent home biweekly, providing information about staffing and upcoming events. Our website is located at www.ascc4kids.org. There information about enrollment, rates, our calendar, and special events can be accessed easily,as well as links to the current Center News, Parent Handbook, and the NAEYC, LAUP, and eScrip websites. The Bulletin Boards in each classroom contain news and information regarding classroom activities. The following items are also found on the bulletin boards: medication forms sign-in sheets Parent Bulletin Boards located at each end of the hallway contain information regarding Center policies, parking updates, parent education opportunities, ASCC tax ID number, parent participation opportunities, and upcoming Center events. Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled twice a year in October and June. Informal conferences can be scheduled at anytime by either parents or teachers.

Director's Comments
At the beginning of the child's enrollment, parents should demonstrate their confidence in the child and the Center by saying `goodbye' to the child only once and by leaving quickly, even if the child is crying. Prolonged leave-taking and displays of emotion by the parent usually result in a more difficult adjustment for the child.Once the parent has left, teachers will help the child or that one?' If the child cries or says, 'I don't want to go to school,' the parent can simply restate calmly, 'This is a school day...' and continue with preparations. It is best to avoid lengthy discussions about how much fun the child will have or complicated explanations about the benefits of going to school. Again, parents are always welcome to observe once the children have been dropped off. This usually assures parents that all is well, because those children who claim to hate coming to school usually become involved quickly and clearly demonstrate that they enjoy the experience once they are at school.

Being Savvy Today
On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
