Our daughter is currently enrolled in the preschool program at Seeds of Faith. She just turned three at the end of August and is one of the youngest in the classroom. Given the fact that her birthday is right before the cut off point for acceptance and the fact that she has never been in any sort of daycare, we were nervous about how she would adapt to a preschool program. She also has the tendency to be shy and used to have a good deal of separation anxiety.  

We visited the classroom before the school year started. There was an "open house" where the children and parents got to come and explore the room a little and it really made her feel comfortable about coming back. On the first day, Mrs. Mack and Mrs. Johnson welcomed us into the classroom and made my daughter felt comfortable and then we left with no tears! Everyday my daughter is excited to go to school and excited when we pick her up. She has loved taking care of the class pet (a stuffed animal duck they get to take turns bringing home) and talks about all the friends she is making. We have arrived early a few times to pick up our daughter and have had the opportunity to watch her class on the playground. The way the teachers interact with the children is so caring; you can tell that they love their job and that this is their calling. 

The fact that the teachers have been working there for years also tells you how much they enjoy their work and environment. Mrs. Mack also frequently sends out emails which detail what the children have been reading and working on.  When it's time to pick up, the children get dismissed one at a time which allows for more discussion about how the day went and any concerns a parent might have.  

Since the beginning of the school year our daughter has become more independent and more willing to try things on her own. She has also advanced greatly in her sharing skills and the way she interacts with other children.  

We have been very pleased with not only the knowledge and help of the SOF teachers, but also the positive impact they have had on our daughter. We highly recommend Seeds of Faith.
