Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
My child's first teacher was a nightmare. Luckily administration understood there was a problem and moved my child to another classroom. The move was a great success. I can't say enough great things about my child's teachers after the move.

Parent #2
I have no complaints about my daughter's teacher. They were wonderful. I believe the problem was that at a higher level, not enough was done to remove the aggressive child(ren) from the classroom to make it safe for my child and other children

Parent #3
They have many extracurriculur activities, but I wish they had Gymnastics on site.

Parent #4
I am 100% happy with the teachers in my daughter's classroom.

Parent #5
I can't say enough positive about the teaching staff. It seems like a lot of them work there and stay there because they themselves have kids in the school and want them there. Also, the school requires lead teachers to have 30 units in childhood development and 15 for the assistant teacher. Plus they do continuing edcuation for the teachers during the year. These are not just people off the street that are trained but rather people who have formal education.

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!
