Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Little Fiddler Academy is a wonderful , caring environment for children. They are a small school and all of the teachers are extremely involved with all of the children. My son was enrolled for preschool and he absolutely loved it. The class groups are small so the teacher/student ration is very low allowing them to really focus on each child. Graduation day was a tough day because my son knew it was his last day with his teachers. He still (now that he is in 1st grade) compares everything to Little Fiddler and his first teachers. I would recommend this school (and I have) to everyone. The pricing is extremely reasonable (especially when you are on a budget). Just because the pricing is lower than the other schools in the area does not mean that the children learn less ... TRUST ME !. From the days of the week, colors, holiday celebrations, field trips, school shows, International day all the way through to Graduation adn the crossing of the Little Fiddler Red Bridge thay are wonderful.

Parents' Comments

my son had an issue with another boy in gym. The problem was quickly identified by the teachers. The boy had just called my son a name but the teachers heard what was said and quickly acted upon it. They also made sure to tell me when I picked him up and sent and incident report home. Imagine if all of that was done for just being called a name in gym class what the steps would be if the boy had actually hit my son !
