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 prepare your child with the social skills of getting along with others, that is our #1 Goal. We feel if they have their social skills in place they will be ready to be in a classroom and know how to get what they need or want in an acceptable way. We have had lots of feedback in the past that Kindergarten teachers are very happy with the behavior from the children coming from out schools. Of course, we believe that the parents are the first teachers and we support them here.
