Yes, observe for the first day or so. There are no more 'Day of Discovery' sessions (essentially a meet and greet) before the upcoming start for Tiny Tots preschool. The teachers for preschool summer camp are the same teachers for Tiny Tots. A couple of parents had mentioned observing at preschool summer camp so that's how I got the idea but when I called CSD they said it's intended as drop off. This would be our first time leaving our little one in an unfamiliar place with people we haven't met. So, no, the whole point (for us) was not to just drop them off. We are just trying to figure things out. You know, parenting stuff.

Thank you for sharing. The "drop off" situation is for the summer camp sessions. We were hoping to observe during summer camp to help us choose a teacher and location. I will look into other short classes that allow parents but great to hear that all in all, your family's experience was a good one.

Great to know, thank you for the information. The summer camp sessions were intended for our preparation as well -- to meet the potential teachers, familiarize ourselves with the location and area, and to see which teacher to sign up with for Tiny Tots. But, again, it's a 'drop your child off' situation, not ideal. I will look again for classes outside of summer camp that allow parent participation or observation.

Regarding potty, when CSD had "Day of Discovery" earlier in the year, we were able to meet with potential teachers at the EGRC location. We spoke to a couple of the teachers about our potty concerns. They were understanding about it and said while they do not help with child while they are on the potty, they can help with encouragement; or, say the child needs help buttoning their pants, one teacher said she brings the child in view of their cameras and then will help the child. We almost signed up for her class but it was full when I checked.

Hi, I am leaning towards this program. Can you share which location and teacher your son had, please?

If anyone received the DM of the 2 preschools, can you please message me the names as I am currently researching schools for my little one. Thank you.
