Director's Comments
We have open house, conferences, and parent education nights. We are always available to discuss the child with his parents whenever they are concerned. An appointment can be made at any time.
Separation
| OVERALL RATING (4.0) |
|
Beginning of the year separation is handled through:
- Abbreviated schedule at start of school year
- Extra staff dedicated to handle separation
- Parents in classrooms early on
- Small group sessions

Director's Comments
We have a phase in schedule where only half the class comes at a time for the first three weeks, so the children can be oriented in smaller groups. We also have an extra teacher and a shorter day at this time. Most children quickly become engaged in school activities and stop crying. If there is prolonged or excessive crying that parent may want to stay in the classroom for a while, until the child feels comfortable.

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
