When you are a parent to a preschool-aged child, you want to know that your child is thriving when you leave them at school. However, there may be some times when you become concerned about things going on at school. You may be unhappy with how your child was disciplined in a way you feel was inappropriate. You may have issues with the curriculum if your child is having trouble grasping some of the concepts.
