Impressive school.
My son started 3s twice a week in February and I must say my expectations have been exceeded.
My son had never been in any sort of extended school or day care. He has a nanny who comes to his home and has never really been around groups of kids. I was such a nervous mom about the entire process, would he nap during nap time? Would he be scared to use the potty there?(yes initially), would he cry the entire time? I expressed all my fears and assumed id be getting a phone call the first day to come and get him.
I have to say that EVERYTHING this school does is with intention to teach on all levels. My son came home singing at least 3 new songs a day. In the 4 short months he was there he learned things most kids in kindergarten don't know yet.
His teacher, Miss Mary, not only taught him the curriculum but she also taught the kids to be self reliant and hold their items, put their own coat on etc. Miss Mary spent countless time helping my sons dad and I with behavior issues with our son! She was such a blessing to have. My son really took to her and if you ever stay after when they're on the playground you'll see Miss Mary is quite popular even with kids who aren't even in her class.
From the headmaster to the teachers to the secretaries, challenger is worth more to what my son has learned, than what we paid in monthly fees! Best investment ever, we will be back next semester!
