Testimonials

“We moved to Community School when our daughter was 1.5 to be closer to home, and have been so happy here. Within a week Maggie went from crying at drop off to not wanting to leave at the end of the day! Her teacher is so caring and reports back to us each day on what she did, what she’s excelling at, and what they’re working on. The other teachers all know Maggie too and really work together like a family. We feel like Community School makes a huge effort to give Maggie stimulation in all kinds of ways. They play outside a lot including with bikes, they learn about science even from a young age, and she’s given many opportunities to be creative. They read lots of books and it’s so fun to hear Maggie say new words that she learned at school. She couldn’t be happier and neither could we!” – Kelly
