Our son Logan has been going to Kids Kare West for 2 1/2 years.
Although all of Logan's teachers have been wonderful, I am very pleased with his current teacher and the lead classroom teacher Ms. Josie. She brings with her a strong educational back ground and understanding of childhood development skills for each age. I think Logan has flourished under her teaching. She also brings structure to the classroom.
As he prepares to enter Kindergarten, I look back at all the skills that he has learned. In particular right now, I notice a strong improvement in his writing and coloring skills. Ms. Josie has been working hard with them on learning to write all their letters. He is also, starting to draw pictures of houses, the sun, flowers, our family and to take great pride in coloring in the lines.
Ms. Josie has also worked with them on their phonics skills. Logan is interested in playing educational games on the computer. The first time he asked to work on our home computer I was amazed at his handling skills of the mouse.
They learn lots of songs too. The first time Logan sang the Pledge of Allegiance it was very moving.
The other thing that is really good about Kids Kare is the staff welcoming each child and parent in the morning. If a child is having a difficult morning, they are there to comfort them.
I also, think that they feed the children well - Ms. Angela, the cook is amazing. It is nice that they provide a full breakfast in the morning to start the children's day off right.
Lastly, I think the theme weeks, field trips and guest speakers are very good. They tie activities/food/learning into the theme of the weeks. Also sometimes, they take field trips that are centered on that or that pertain to the time of the year. Kids Kare also will have guest speckers come to the classroom to enhance the learning experience.
I conclusion, I would like to thank all the staff who has made a difference for Logan at Kids Kare West.
