Assessment and Communication

The stages of childhood development are marked by cognitive, social-emotional and physical growth. At The Willows, we strongly believe that communication between parents and faculty helps to foster our children’s healthy growth. Teachers assess children informally each day, through close observations in the classroom and on the yard, and through formal assessments on a regular basis. There are three parent-teacher conferences during the school year, in the fall, midyear and in the spring. Parents receive written progress reports before the fall and spring conferences. We encourage parents to contact teachers and/or the administration with questions or concerns. Our aim is to ensure that parents are well informed about their children’s school experience.
