Child Assessment
During the first six weeks of their enrollment your child will also undergo an assessment process to determine the child’s academic, emotional, social and physical developmental stage. At the end of six weeks there is a scheduled parent and teacher conference to discuss and share the observations and goals for your child for the school year. There are a total of three parent/ teacher conferences in the academic year, at which time you will have the opportunity to discuss your child’s development.
