Parent Testimonial

I was debating about putting my child in a private or public school preschool and I'm so glad we found the Renaissance School and enrolled there. I discovered that the preschool in the public elementary school is very focused on academics, kindergarten readiness, and on getting the kids ready for the standardized tests to come. The children at the Renaissance School are getting ready for kindergarten too but there's so much more. The children explore and learn as they play - they do weekly cooking projects, learn about nature and do science experiments. They also do lots of art in the special art room and regularly take the kids on field trips. The class is small and there are many teachers available. I want my child to learn but I also want her to love learning. I want her to learn through play too, not just by doing activity sheets. She'll have time for that when she does go to elementary school.
