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.

Being Savvy Today
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
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
