I think the teachers are great and I truly feel like I am leaving my daughter with family!! The staff is extremely friendly and warm and my daughter loves going. They are all moms themselves so they know how you feeling and take care of them as if they were their own. From my experience my daughter speaks much better and says more words than she had before. She is very proud of her artwork and is excited to show it to me when we get home. I also believe it was a great help in potty training. Having my daughter see other kids going potty is great and also the teachers asked me what I was doing at home so they could keep the same routine for her at school which was nice. When the weather is nicer and the kids play outside my daughter came home with an ouch report in her school bag, this explains the incident and how it was taken care of (first aid), when she fell and got a scrape on her knee along with a phone call to me at work which makes me feel more at ease. The only downfall is that they are ka little on the pricey side and I liked the summer program of '08 as opposed to the one they are holding the summer of '09. There was more flexibility with scheduling so unfortunately this summer my daughter will not be able to attend. But other than that I love the school and would highly recommend it.

The strengths of this school is the staff....they are really a wonderful group of individuals who truly love what they do. It was like you were dropping off your child with a close friend. The teachers are so caring and dedicated. Even if they did not have your child in their class, each teacher knew who your child were and had a special connection to them. It was just so reassuring to know that your child was special and important!
One of the weaknesses I noticed was the space. It is a small school. It isa place full of fabulous, vibrant and useful teaching materials but I think that each class needed it's own space.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

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!
