Parent comments from recent surveys:

Curriculum

“Academic preparation is subtle and not forced. The focus seems to be on making sure everyone is enjoying learning and is gaining the skills that they need to learn at the next stage. There is no comparison of kids or trumpeting of kids for their skills.”

“Very well run program dealing with the individual needs of each child while engaging them in a learning environment.”

“The teachers are committed to each child, and at the same time, they are very determined to socialize the kids and get them to act in such a way that they facilitate the functioning of the group. The focus of the learning in each room seems very developmentally appropriate.”

The Teachers

“I love that they tell me all the cute things he says each day when I pick him up."

“Candidness, helpful advice."

“They're the first people I call or talk to whenever I have any concerns about my child's development.”

“The "professional sounding board" they provide; willing to listen and collaborate.”

“The teachers seem to very much care about my child and are open about successes as well as areas of concern."

“Good communication"

My Child's Experience

“His teachers are fantastic. He loves them both. I sometimes have to pretend to be them.”

“ Everything that has involved my child has made me feel good. My child loves CCL.”
