Savvy Source's Comments

"Class Newsletters
Classes publish their own weekly newsletter about current and upcoming events.

In an effort to get to know you and your child better, conferences will be scheduled with your child's teacher in early fall. Both parents or persons responsible for the child are expected to attend.

Another conference will be scheduled in early spring to discuss your child's growth and progress. At this time four-year-olds will be assessed for placement in Jr. Kindergarten or Kindergarten for the following year. Only children that meet the Kindergarten birthday cutoff will be admitted into Jr. Kindergarten. Children must complete two years of preschool before going on to Kindergarten."

Bethel had a very closed door policy. They were very close-minded and discouraged parent communication. I know from previous experience with an older child that Bethel is not the way to run a preschool.

Really, no effort was made to connect parents. The teacher was not a good communicator with parents and was unable to create an environment conducive to parent conversation or communication. She seemed overwhelmed by the children and parents and just wanted to go to lunch.

Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and
