[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was wondering the same thing when we got our info packet. It is interesting that they have the children participate in classes at some schools and meet the teachers (and for the parents to see what happens in class, rather than just hearing about it). But I'm curious about how beneficial this is, when it happens 5 months before school starts. Kids change a lot in 5 months, especially at the age of 4! [/quote]

This was beneficial for all of us to go to because my child got to meet several children in her class/school including some neighborhood kids that we didn't know. We discovered a few kids from ballet were in the K classes as well. It was good for our child to know some kids before starting. We set up some play dates as well. We didn't know anyone before the orientation.
Also our school set up 2 summer play dates at the school play ground for everyone who signed in at the orientation. They also do (as I think most do) a meet your actual teacher a few days before school starts. We felt the early orientation made the transition a lot easier.[/quote]
