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?
I believe that the teachers and dedicated to the children's well-being and they provide a lovable and nurturing day for all the children. We try to teach the children independence so they can be successful in their future school years.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This is a wonderful little school. They keep well care of my daughter. She has been coming here since she was 2.5 years old. She is now turning 4. She loves her school and her teachers. They are respectful to her and keep me up to date on her progress and set backs. Its well cared for, clean and the teachers are wonderful!
Parent #2
I have had my 2 year old son in the school for 5 months and he has had a great experience there. Really good care and supervision as well as he is learning to count and his alphabet. Parking is the only drawback.
Parent #3
All of the classes and teachers were very well done with a lot of individual attention to special growth areas we identified for our boys.
In particular I really liked how the teacher ran the kindergardners. The program was structured and geared to meet the expectations of the MUSD school district. The program was flexible enough that any areas that the kids were really interested in could be fit into the curriculum to enhance their curiosity. Additionally, based on the kids energy level the formal classes could be, and often were, continued into the afternoon. Both my boys left Foothill with basic skills such as math and reading far in advance of MUSD expectations and at least 2 grade levels ahead of their peers.
An excellent learning environment that takes into consideration children's needs and wants, but parents expectations as well.

My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
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!
