Loving Teachers/Caring Environment

by PBraunstein at Citysearch

My 2 yr. 9 mos. son recently started preschool at WUMP. He's in the Blue Room (the room for the youngest kids) and he LOVES his teacher -- Sharon. (I really like her too.) The school is very caring and flexible, which is great when you are trying to integrate the little guys into the new environment without mom, lots of activities and new to using the potty. Sharon has been very supportive and he's definitely gaining confidence, independence and social skills (which is what I think is most important at this age). I haven't had as much contact with the other teachers at the school yet (probably because we just started) but I know he really likes Lida (Leeda?) and Georgina as well. He's in the extended day program (until 4:00) so Georgina is the one who helps him nap in the afternoon (not one of his favorite things). Overall, so far I am very happy with the school.
