Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Strengths: wonderful teachers, warm, lots of experience, truly love young children, great at teaching communication and conflict resolution, great at pacing the children and allowing them to learn at their speed and level. They believe in educating the whole child. This is not an academic based program, but they do teach the children a lot. The school is warm and caring and treats its families with such care. I have been truly impressed with Village. One thing to know, this is a Christian based program and they do use a lot of Christian materials in their teaching.

Parents' Comments

This year we had both experienced two different teachers, who are both absolutely wonderful with the kids. They are warm, engaging, so good with the children, they listen well, manage the class well, do great art projects and make the kids feel so good about themselves. I am always amazed at how engaged and interested the kids are in the daily activities and how excited they are to go to school.
Discipline, Health and Safety
Discipline

| Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

When visiting, you are always greeted by someone in the hall and helped with what you need. It is very friendly and doesn't seem intrusive, but it does feel safe.
