Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I'm not sure on the drop-in policy, but have always felt welcome, and don't think there would be a problem. They do focus on learning through play, but I also received some info about specific developmental milestones my child had reached when I had the year-end parent-teacher conference.

There is no formal parent connection, however, I think the general feel at the school is that all the parents are interested in building relationships with each other. As for separation, the teachers do a good job with students that have a hard time, however, there are no extra staff just for that purpose.
