Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The teachers are wonderful at adjusting their approach depending on the child. It helps each child succeed and feel confident. The teachers are loving and I could not be happier.

Parent #2
We were very pleased. Our child attended Stringfellow for 3 years and she was more than prepared for Kindergarten in Coppell ISD schools. Highy recommend this school.

Parent #3
Good management. Excellent teachers. All the state rules and requirements followed.

Parent #4
I think Stringfellow hires excellent, caring, competent teachers and has a well-seasoned program that offers a wide variety of learning experiences for a child, which are both child-driven and teacher-driven. My only 'nit' to pick with the school happens to be a sometimes over-emphasis on extra-curricular details in parties and other parent-involved scenarios; meaning, I think it can be a little extreme in the 'fluff' to eclipse the purpose of these activities: to allow the children to have fun in a social, learning environment and celebrate special times together. Traditions are steeped here, and again, that is probably my own personal tastes versus another; it has very little bearing on the quality of education my children receive at Stringfellow; I feel it is generally, very high.

Parent #5
This preschool has been an amazing experience for our entire family. I truly feel like we belong at Stringfellow. This is our 4th year here and my daughter has 3 more years to go. I wouldn't even consider moving them. The entire staff is so loving and supportive. I've never encountered an individual there that didn't seem thoroughly happy working there. We love it!!!

Parent #6
My childrens' teachers have provided a welcoming and loving environment where they have learned academically and socially.

Parent #7
We love this school and are children truly thrive there. The school hours are difficult for working parents as it does not start until 9AM and is over at 2PM. For us, it is worth making the effort on these hours.

Parent #8
Great academic basics are covered here and they seem to base their program closely aligned to how the Coppell Ind. Schools are run...if your child goes through the Stringfellow program he/she will have an easy transition when attending Kindergarten in a CISD school. My oldest child attended from age 2 through the pre-K program and has done very well in CISD elementary school. He is in the gifted and talented program and I credit Stringfellow with some of his success.

Parent #9
Very loving, Christian learning environment. Love the garden and outside learning center. Great Science teacher. Teachers are real teachers who love children and help them develop in many areas.

We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach

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!
