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 came to this school as a parent of a preschool age child and was so impressed, I took a job and am now directing. Outside of my own home and care, I can't think of a more loving and safe environment for children to be able to play, grow and learn than Achiever.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Teachers really love the kids and value and respect them. Teachers are well organized. Preschool facilities are cleaned, well maintained. Besides working on the reading and math skills, they include music (singing with a piano teacher) and religion (some Bible stories and kids' level praying). They encourage leadership in the children. Teachers communicate very well with parents and students. After the preschool program, the children are very well prepared for kindergarten.

Being Savvy Today
On My Own
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
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

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!
