Daniel Loves It!

Child(ren): 
Daniel, age 1.5 years

Daniel joined CPSC in October 2008, at 9 months. Since then, he has been thriving: looking forward to daycare every morning (eager to leave the house as soon as he wakes up!), and learning a lot. He loves his teachers: they really spend time with the children, and offer activities/learning opportunities that fit each kid's development stage. At the end of each day, the teachers can tell me a lot about Daniel's day: his new achievements, favorite activities, etc... I know he is only one of 12 children they have in the classroom, but still, I get a very personalized report.

And indeed, the Children's Pre-School center is a true community. Not only do teachers make an effort to establish strong relationships with the parents. But the parents are encouraged to interact with each other a lot. Events such as classroom breakfasts, Parents' Day celebration, and parent meetings are a great way to get to know other families with similar situations. The parent meetings are particularly useful: Rachel shares her knowledge about a particular topic, and shows related videos of the children, pointing to best-practices the teachers use to address a specific situation. These meetings also encourage discussions among the parents, so there is a great sense of support among the group.

Overall, we are very happy to have found CPSC for Daniel. He loves it, and we as parents feel really good that he is surrounded by such a great group of teachers. Kudos to Rachel for the success of CPSC over 25 years, and for the impact she has on so many children.
