Absolutely! Sounds like you have the ideal learning environment! I agree with you that communication -- especially early communication -- is key.

- A little about yourself...
- I created a private school for my children (preschool to high school), and helped them become amazing adults. My oldest, Nicole, is at Stanford Medical School and my youngest, Jaclyn, is a sophomore at Claremont McKenna College. I have since written 9 books to help other moms learn how to give their children the best education. Beyond education, I help parents set up free Merit preschools in their homes so that their children attend for free and they have dinner prepared, laundry done (and folded!), and a clean house at the end of the day. I am the director and college advisor at Merit Educational Consultants, LLC. We offer academically accelerated classes nationwide (K-12), college advisory nationwide, and tutorial support in Santa Cruz County, CA. www.meritworld.com

""No News" in the classroom doesn't mean "Good News"!
The beginning of the school year always starts off fresh and positive. Both parents and students hope for the best and enjoy the new routine with the brand-new backpacks and school supplies. Teachers are busy getting to know the students and students are engaged in learning their new routines. Ahhh, the bliss associated with the new year. Don't assume that because the teacher isn't phoning you or sending home notes, that your child is doing fine in school.

- Thanks for the comment, Susan. Sounds like a great business you've started. Very inspiring. Are you in the Phoenix area? Have a networking group for moms and wondering if some of them would be interested in learning from you. A lot of their children are pre-school age.
