Separation anxiety won't be a problem at Tender Years, since parents staff the classroom right alongside teachers. The cooperative preschool makes transitioning from a full day of play easy on kids by inviting parents to participate in the classroom about twice per month. They act as classroom assistants, spurring on learning not only in their own child, but also kids' classmates (and soon-to-be friends). The learning comes naturally during daily activities such as puzzles, music, art, play, and story time.
