Director's Comments
Parents are encouraged to never sneak away. If the child has seperation anxiety, we develop a routine of using the restroom, or reading a book before a hug and a kiss goodbye. Parents smile and if they need to they are welcome to sit with me in my office to cry, talk, or just relax. The child will calm down and the parent becomes aware first hand.
