Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
Cottage focuses on conflict resolution. My 5 year-old. daughter has learned this skill and uses them on play dates and at home when conflicts arise.
Parent #2
Since the school has about 55 families, it is a tight-knit community with parents working in the class room. Thus, the teachers do not need to screen parents when they come to the school because they know them already. But strangers are screened if they come to the school.
Parent #3
The facility does need some work done but since it's a lease it's hard to get approval from the landlords (CalTrans). The play yards were redone last summer and they're amazing.
Parent #4
The teachers genuinely care very much and that makes all the difference.
