Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This preschool hands out weekly newsletters which are very helpful for the parents to understand what's going on in the classroom. The newsletters explain what the children did this week, what they will be working on next week, and how parents can help them learn. It also contains a short discussion on the 'virtue of the month'.
Parent #2
We receive so much information from the school daily. There is a newsletter for each classroom, a weekly Wed. folder from the office, and a weekly folder of work students take home. Teachers are very available to discuss any issue and e-mail facilitates a lot of discussions.

A Great Book Rhymes!
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
