Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
In the 3 years we've been at Beth Am, our daughter has had excellent teachers. In addition to the regular school day, the kids also have a great P.E. teacher whom the kids all adore. The music teacher is also phenomenal and loved by everyone!

Parent #2
The teacher/ student ratio is often much lower than the state requirements which allows for more individual attention and closer bonding with the teachers. Our school offers wonderful P.E. and music enrichments once a week. My son has come home singing a new song or talking about the new game they played with the P.E. coach. They also provide afterschool enrichments such as ballet, soccer, etc. at an additional cost.

Parent #3
The teachers are all-around excellent:Professional,Excited, Educated, Experienced,Loving and Fun! The school has a well thought-out, organized curriculum that has purpose and is age appropriate. I believe this allows the teachers to be the best that they can be. The school has a lot to offer and is willing to make a change if parents voice a concern!

Parent #4
Our lead teacher in the 2yr. old room is truly gifted. She always brings a huge smile to the children's faces and gives them so much love and encouragement. Just a few months into the year, my 2 yr. old recognizes his name and knows most of the letters in his name.

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!
