Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
For almost three decades, Newcastle has been widely considered the most complete preschool in the State of Utah. For 25 years the school has been at full capacity. It has been awarded a Best of State award each time it has entered. While located in Draper, Newcastle is a regional business with children attending every year from over 20 different zip codes. Yes, we track that annually. Roughly 60 percent of our students come from cities other than Draper. In other words, most of our clients drive past dozens of preschools every day to deliver their child to Newcastle. Drop by for a visit or check out the website... you'll see why.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I absolutely LOVE New Castle School! I would recommend this school to anyone. I love that they use Love and Logic as their base of teaching. All the teachers and staff are always very friendly and despite the number of students at the school, they know all of the children's names. The school itself looks like a miniature elementary school. It is perfect.
