First off, I absolutely love the environment and methods at MEC. Our son, now 3, has been there since he was 18 months old, and he seems to love his teachers, friends and work. My husband and I enjoy the daily reports and photos. I guess our only suggestion that we as parents would love to see more of, is maybe on a quarterly basis, getting more detailed information of what specifically our son is excelling in, what songs he is learning,
What areas of his work he’s not into, or work that he loves. I know it is our job as parents to ask the teachers these questions, but we also know how valuable and limited their time is, so sometimes we feel like doing so would make us seem overly involved/“smothering”. Because we go all day without seeing our little guy, we would love to know what he is into, who his friends are, how he is getting along with everyone, what his least favorite activities are, etc. At three years old, getting him to rehash specifics about his day at school is no easy feat. ;). Perhaps, to feel more involved for the parents, maybe scheduling a one on one parent/teacher meeting for 15 minutes once or twice a year, if that’s even possible with everyone’s hectic schedules, would be really helpful. So, I guess overall, we would just love to know more details about who our son is within his school environment. Overall though, we are very satisfied.
