As Mya’s parents, we wanted her to attend Children’s House because it’s a more hands-on environment and not the traditional teacher-student type of school (where the teacher is in front of the class while all of the students sit at desks and stare at a chalk board all day long).

When we walked into Children’s House for the first visit, it was amazing seeing the kids walking around grabbing tasks off the shelves and then placing them back when they were done in the preschool area. In the kindergarten area we observed the children doing their work on their own and if they had a question they approached the teacher.

With Mya being a hands-on learner it was a perfect fit for her. Before Mya started school we had her attend an afternoon session of school BEFORE she started the next fall so that she could come and meet the teachers and see the school first-hand and interact with some of the other students.

With Mya attending Children’s House she has learned a lot of the fundamental basic life skills that children do not learn in the public school system, which has been a plus because it enhances what we currently provide to her at home.

Children’s House offers the children the chance to meet the teachers before the school year is in session and it is ALWAYS in neutral territory (Storybook Island) — a perfect setting to get acquainted. Whenever you have questions about your child and how they are progressing, the teacher advises and you don’t need a parent-teacher conference to get the information (which is excellent as you and the teachers are in constant communication with each other).

This is something I have seen most schools lack in our area is the communication and at Children’s House, there is no lack of communication.
