And a few words from our parents........

Greetings!
I gather the fundraiser went smashingly. I'm sorry I couldn't make it.
I had the nicest conversation with J***'s old/K***'s soon-to-be kindergarten
teacher. She mentioned that she was really impressed with the Montessori
approach, that in their assessments K*** and J*** and A****** seemed so ready
for kindergarten and eager to learn, that she decided to look for a Montessori
program near her house for her daughter next year! I think that is the highest
possible compliment to your program.
Cheers,
E****

We just wanted to say thanks for doing such a terrific job running your
school. We couldn't be more pleased with *****'s experience this year and look
forward to another great one next year.
Thanks,
****** and ***********

Dear Dina,
Yay! We got in! Just heard from *** this
afternoon-- and I am very excited. And I am sure that your involvement and
help was instrumental in putting us over the line! So-- many, many many thanks
for all of your help. It truly made a difference and we are very grateful.

We've decided to put ******* back in Topanga Montessori next year (he's just
too happy with you folks; we can't bear to move him).

The children truly build a community in their class...
"My daughter R*** attended Topanga Montessori for one year. Had it
not been impossible logistically, I would have kept her there. The
school is very special. As a family that moves often, we have seen
our fair share of pre-schools. TMPS is certainly the best for many
reasons.
The children are expected to achieve and they all do. The educational
opportunities far exceed anything that I have seen elsewhere. My
three year old has gained a wonderful knowledge of geography,
gardening, all of her phonetic sounds, pre-math skills, incredible
fine motor skills and much more in this classroom. The staff are
warm, gentle and highly qualified. They earn respect from the
children. The children truly build a community in their class and I
think that is quite rare these days.
R*** and I will miss TMPS. It was a lovely experience that we will
treasure.

Thank you very much for the wonderful birthday celebration for ***. It
was very special- the little ceremony, the adorable hand crafted crown, the
tasty muffins -- all so wonderful, and very clear that you put a lot of time
and energy into it -- it really touched my heart, and I know it meant a lot
to ***. It is truly amazing that you do this for each of the kids-- and
shows, once again, what a special preschool you are creating. Thank you for
creating such a wonderful, nurturing learning environment for our little
girl (and all of the kids).
Best,
****

Thank you for all the time you took helping
us with ***'s kindergarten applications. The schools must have
liked what you had to say- he was admitted to all three we applied to. We
know you went above and beyond for him and we are truly grateful.

Dear Dina and Rebecca,
It was lovely to meet with you at the school last week.
Congratulations for your wonderful work to bring the Montessori program
together from where it was when I first saw the building. I admire your
dedication to ensure high quality education for the children and their
families.
Please let me know what I can do to help!
**** and ****** ( and I), look forward to 2009 when ***
will be ready to enroll.
Fondly,
Marie D. |
| Thank You! |
|
Thank you for all that you have done to
make *** and ****'s preschool experience on of growth, discovery and joy.
You have worked long and hard and put heart and soul into
this endeavor- your "flowers" are in full bloom and I hope you get a
moment to appreciate them!

| Building a nurturing
community....... |
|
We got to talking about our end-of-the year
donations, and both of us agreed that the school's scholarship fund was
first o the list. You have put a lot of hard work into building a
nurturing community that helps kids ( and **** in particular) become
enthusiastic learners. We appreciate everything you've done, and hope you
can relax over the break and catch up on your sleep!
Cheers,
****** and ***** |
