Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
We offer many different special throught out the week. We offer Spanish, Chinese, Yoga, Music and Drama and Art. One pre-school room is spanish immersion. We offer high quality education in a very small group enviroment. We specialize in individual lessons and offer each child the one on one time that every child desires.

We are a Montessori school. Children are offered the opportunity to learn and grow at their individual pace and needs. We offer a variety of schedules to accomadate your family needs. The children work in three hour sessions with time for a special (Spanish, Chinese, Yoga, Music and Art) each day. They are giving time to play on the playground three times a day.

We provide open houses, quartly parent-teacher conferences. Parents are encouraged to reveiw their childrens lessons daily. Teachers and direcot are available every day for questions. A monthly newsletterand calendar goes out to the families. Our web page also holds the same information for on-line look-ups.

Director's and Parents' Comments
Director's Comments
We look at each case indiviually. Our goal is to set up your child for success. So we will take your childs needs on a individual basis and set up an enviroment that will suit them.
Discipline, Health and Safety
Overview
Director's Description of Approach Toward Discipline
Rules are set out from the begining. All children are aware of what the teacher excepts from them. Safety of all is very important. Manners and kindness are another area of focus. In cases of misbehavior the child is redirected up to three times. If the behavior continues a time out maybe required.
Director's Response to a Sample Discipline Scenario
Description of how teachers handle the following scenario: Child A and Child B are good friends and usually play together. One day, Child A decides to play with Child C and tells Child B, 'I don't want to play with you today. I'm playing with Child C instead.'
Good communication and awareness of the safety and kindeness of others is most important in our school.
