Parent Evening, Notes from Parents

Hi Susan,

Thursday night was a wonderful and informative experience into our child's time at Spindlewood. Gaining insight into how all the ages there play and interact was great. The activity that Susan led was excellent in opening our eyes to our own senses and responses to items often around our children. It really made me go home thinking and reassessing items that find there way into my own home.

As always it was nice to chat and see parents in the Spindlewood Family.       
Peace,
Joanna

Hi Susan,
Thank you so much for the parent evening that you and Elisa hosted last night.

I was just telling a friend of mine about the toy exercises you led us through. It was so interesting to think more deeply about children and their play, and about the role the toys themselves have in sparking play. What a joy it was to hold and smell and look at the toys that the children can play with at Spindlewood! The materials are one of my favorite parts of the Spindlewood environment.

I enjoyed hearing your perspective on the development of 3, 4, 5, and 6-year-old's. I recognized my own daughters in your descriptions! I look forward to continuing our dialogue at our parent conversations next week.

Thanks again and take good care,
Laurie
