Dear Mrs. Bruce,

I'm sorry you feel the way you do. However, every child in our program has multiple at risk factors; it is a requirement to enter our program. While some risk factors are easy to over come, others may take years to over come. And the Greast Start Readiness Program was designed to give at risk children a jump start into life and skill development.
While hitting, kicking, scratching, and biting ate not condoned, they are typical of every early childhood classroom where children are first learning to socialize, share, and control their emotions. Kicking, hitting, and some biting are normal when children are first learning how to use their words with, or around other children. It is our jobs as teachers to help children learn to use their language and teach other children how to cope when they have a conflict with other children.
