The teachers are very good at what they do! They take time to get to know each child, even if they are not a part of their individual classroom. Which I think is detail that seems small but is really big in making a child feel more comfortable. This was my child’s first time being in any type of daycare or school and it took him a little while to get adjusted but his teachers worked with him to make his transition very pleasant.
