I adore him. Right now, my two hot topics with my current care provider are parent communication and evidence of learning. I think it’s really important for teachers and directors to communicate clearly and transparently.

For example, I hate when I see a new teacher in my kid’s room and I didn’t know the other teacher had left. It’s important to live up to the commitments we make to parents.

As for evidence of learning, I need to know what my child is learning every day. I love photos, anecdotes, etc. It helps me feel connected to my son and his development.

I know that The Grove School will go a great job on both fronts since they are central to the whole experience. If only The Grove School was in my city! Soon, I hope.
