Everything, my daughter loves her teachers and I love how much she has grown and learned in the last few years. Every week she comes home with a new song or something she has picked up from the weeks curriculum.

I appreciate how invested the teachers are in my daughter's life. All the teachers, even those that teach in the older classrooms that she hasn't been in yet, know who she is and have conversations with her daily. My daughter talks about her teachers almost daily on our way home. I love this because it shows me how dedicated the teachers are.

We really feel that the teachers invest in each child in their class. We also appreciate the open communication about daily activities, our child’s development in the class, and any changes we need to know of. It is clear that the staff and teachers all have a heart for helping these children grow!
