Most observation will be based upon the area of child development discussed that day in class. Following snack time, observing parents meet in a 30 - 45 minute discussion group with the teacher. You may share your observations, gain information form the teacher and discuss items of concern. The discussion group provides a supportive atmosphere. The teacher will write comments and return them.
Several parents stay after each class to clean the school and ready it for the next class.
Depending on class size each parent can expect to work after school about four to eight times per semester. Please mark all of your children's clothing. Parents and children are most comfortable wearing clothing and shoes that can get wet, sandy, painted, glued and spilled upon. Bring extra diapers and a change of clothes for children. There are three required night meetings for parents.
