Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
Our daughter's teacher is very loving toward the children. She maintains an even demeanor and her evaluations of my child were right on target.

Parent #2
The school has wonderful organic snacks and a wonderful outdoor organic garden that the children have helped to plant. Science is worked into the curriculum in fun ways. Currently, they have a bullfrog tadpole that all the kids get to help feed and they're learning about how it will become a frog and no longer breathe with gills but hop out onto land. My two year old came home showing me a collage he'd made of the world and telling me that the planet Earth is round and how it has dirt and leaves and animals and water... oh and Saturn has rings and the sun is hot. Just wonderful!

Parent #3
Our teacher has previously taught at the second grade level and is very aware of the tools that preschoolers need to start elementary school. We're very happy with her.

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!
