Staggered Entry
Mills Park is a safe and fun place to learn and we’re so glad that you’re here!
• Smaller groups allow teachers to offer individual attention and support as children try new things. It’s a great way for the child to meet his/her teacher in a smaller, more comfortable setting.
• Informal observation and assessments are integrated throughout the day
• The assessments and observations guide teachers in planning appropriate and meaningful instruction.

Lunch Time in the Cafeteria
• Each child will receive a lunch number…please help your child learn his/her lunch number. They will be required to type this in.
• It’s a great idea to prepay by check in the cafeteria and use a lunch account!
• Don’t forget to help your child practice opening containers at home – small items are difficult for little hands to open!
