Mother of a 4 year old: note to the teacher
Just wanted to thank you for meeting with me on Friday to discuss my daughter's
growth and progress. I know that I shared how "weird" it is for me to sit on
the "other side of the desk" but you immediately put me at ease. I
appreciate your warmth, honesty, sense of humor and professionalism. I was
extremely impressed with your portfolio assessment approach... I know that
takes time on your part but it was so revealing and informative for me as
the parent. To have actual samples laid before me to support your
observations was invaluable. It was evident to me that not only are you good
at what you do but you genuinely love what you do. That's priceless! My daughter
LOVES coming to school... as I said, the highest praise I can give. My
husband and I are very pleased with how much she is learning and growing in
all areas. We thank you for your efforts. You and your assistant play an integral role
in making The Preschool Place & Kindergarten the outstanding program that it
is! Thanks so much for all that you do...it does make a difference!
As a side note I was at a birthday party today for a classmate and all the buzz was how
impressive the conferences were handled so it seems you made quite an
impression with others as well! Always nice to hear! :) Everyone loves The
PSP!!!!!

The last day of school has arrived and I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! It seems like just last week that I was tearfully dropping (my daughter) off for the very first time! I have to tell you how thrilled my husband and I are with your program. This first school experience for (our daughter) has been everything we hoped it would be and more. Her teachers are wonderful early childhood educators and we feel lucky (our daughter) got to benefit from their expertise. I was confident with my decision to send my child here in September…and now, I’m ready to be your official spokesperson! The quality of teaching, the level of dedication and professionalism, the developmentally appropriate program, the sense of community and social conscience, the warm, safe, nurturing environment….these are just some of the things that make The Preschool Place so incredibly special. So I must say to you, kudos, and keep up the good work. Our daughter loves school and that speaks volumes. We look forward to September.

I want to warmly thank you for the wonderful years my children and I have enjoyed here at The Preschool Place! From the 2’s to Kinder Plus, each year has been filled with caring teachers, creative curriculums, and fun-filled memories with friends. It is exciting to see the kids grow and have new experiences, but it is also a little sad to move on from a loving Preschool community. So, thank you for everything and I will be sure to recommend The Preschool Place to friends!

I wish that I could express to you all of the gratitude and warm feelings I have for The Preschool Place and especially the director. From day one, you created an environment where I felt safe and comfortable sending (my son). I thank you for accepting whatever it took to get him from where he was to where he is now. He has grown from a baby who could barely hear or speak into an amazing boy who can do both of those and so much more. And The Preschool Place is where so much of it happened. I cannot begin to thank you for your acceptance and willingness to help do whatever it took (teachers, therapists, FM systems, etc) to make that happen. The Preschool Place is a wonderful place because of your guidance and leadership, great things happen there every day. Please accept my thanks and know that you have made a difference in both (my son’s) and my life. Thank you for everything.
