FAQs
“Since I have such fond memories of CCNS from my own childhood, my husband and I are delighted that our daughter shares the same opportunity. She is enjoying nursery school life to the fullest and we look forward to our grandchildren someday attending too!”My child has never been left with anyone before. What happens if he cries?
—Alumna and current CCNS parent
The teacher will work closely with you and your child. The parent never has to leave until the parent and the child are comfortable.
Does my child need to be toilet trained?
No. The teachers will change diapers when needed. If your child is in the process of learning to use the toilet, we will give frequent bathroom reminders.
What do I do when I participate?
The participating parent is in charge of the art project of the day, making sure each child has the opportunity to do a project and helping the children understand what to do. At clean-up time you encourage and help the children to clean up. At circle time you can participate with your child. You are responsible for the snack of the day. When it's time to go outside to play, you help supervise the children on the playground.
How often do I have to participate?
Usually once every four weeks, depending on the number of children enrolled in your child's class.
What if I can't make any of the parent work days?
The work days are usually scheduled on weekends and one evening session. If for some reason you can't make any of the scheduled days, we will give you something to do on your own time.
