• If you would like to observe your child within his/her classroom, please make arrangements with your child's teacher ahead of time. There will be a form you will need to fill out to document the time and date you wish to observe as well as some training on maintaining the confidentiality of the classrooms and other children.  
• Please make sure to communicate with your child's teacher about pick up and drop off routines as these have recently changed.
