Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
I think the teachers at this age are focused on the social aspect of school which is great. However, I do feel that my child is also learning and forming a positive attitude about school. She is constantly telling me that she wants to go see her teachers.

Parent #2
The school offers enrichment activities including dance, gym and tae kwan doe. They engage in interesting activities such as growing plants, making a butterfly farm to watch caterpillars go through their change to butterflies, making soap in addition to more typical art and song.

Parent #3
Our teacher taught the children sign language this year and my child loved it.

Parent #4
The teachers at LTUMC Preschool have given both of my children confidence in the classroom. The teachers have all been warm and kind giving my children no reason to be scared at school. Both of my children were excited about going to preschool. They would excitedly ask throughout the year, 'Do I have preschool today?' LTUMC Preschool has been such a positive experience for our family.

Parent #5
I have loved every teacher I have had at the preschool. They are all different, but have provided my children with the best environment. It seems they have all be well suited for each other. I have had a child in the preschool since 1998, with two overlapping for two years.
