Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
In the Pre-K classrooms, all students are evaluated in the Fall and again in the Spring for kindergarten readiness. The full report is provided to the parents.

Parent #2
There are 4 teachers, a director and an assistant director. They are all equally great with the children as well as knowledgeable about each and every child. They all spend time in the classrooms daily and work collaboratively. They are a true team! It is such an incredible place filled with positivity! The teachers each have their special talents. The director plays the guitar and sings regularly with the children. The teachers work together to plan all of their lessons, including music and theater. The teachers are always making up new puppet shows to perform for the students. They are amazing teachers who each hold at least a BA and 3 of the 4 classroom teachers also hold an elementary teaching credential as well.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
