~Lauren, Kindergarten Parent
"When the announcement was made that we would be transitioning to Virtual School — first for two weeks and then for the remainder of the school year, our hearts sank, and broke for our kindergartener. We had no idea how things would go, whether and how he would have opportunities to make and strengthen connections with his teachers and among his classmates and how we could best support him during this time of uncertainty and transition."
From day one, the approach of virtual Kindergarten has been that of a partnership between our wonderful teachers and parents. The teachers have evolved their offerings significantly to adapt to and address family needs and desires, to strengthen connections (as much as you can through a Zoom call with 16 kindergarteners who want to talk about 16 random and radically divergent things and show their friends the latest Lego set they’ve built, introduce them to family members and pets or give them a full house tour) and, most importantly, to bring a smile to our children’s faces. We are incredibly thankful for our teachers’ energy, enthusiasm, resilience, and support.
