Parents' Comments

Parent #1
No report is ever given on childs day. You are only given a generic report on what they ate, napped, and had a diaper change...

Parent #2
She comes home with so much art work that is centered around what they have learns. One day it will be about colors, the next about shapes, and every week there is a new letter that is learned. My daughter, who is not yet 2 years old, can count from 1 to 10, identifies some letters, knows all body parts (including cheeks and chin) and has developed so much, thanks in part to the care and education she receives at this facility.

Parent #3
the school has a well balance of teacher lead activities as well as free time for the children to explore and choose their own activities and learn through the process of interaction with other children and self discovery... why i love the balance of what this school has offered my child

Parent #4
The children have interactive classes. Teacher led with childrens participation required, good balance. Children have classes, creative time, and play time.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
