Our child has been at Colt for preschool and kindergarten, and we've had a great experience. Preschool here was more affordable than other schools at the time we started, and the instruction was great as far as we are concerned. Our child learned everything we would expect them to academically, and grew in social skills as well. We were able to start with half day preschool and transition to full day halfway through the year, which we appreciated. I love that my child was able to transition to kindergarten with the familiarity of the same school, familiar staff, and peers. I am very impressed with my child's academic progress in kindergarten. We have read books daily at home for years, but not worked a ton on letter sounds. Adding this in at school this year has our child reading simple stories! We see their teacher every day at dismissal, so there is opportunity to connect if needed. Classroom seating is changed every couple weeks so everyone gets to know each other, and I see the school making a real effort to teach social emotional skills as well. Overall great experience so far. I would love to see more parent involvement with PTO, but I expect most families have two working parents/coparents, which can make after school commitments challenging. One of the special education teachers oversees PTO presently, while helping to engage more parents to take the lead. Talk about a dedicated staff member. We appreciate all staff who we've always observed interacting with kindness and creating a welcoming environment. It's great to see the racial diversity at dropoff and pickup as well. We appreciate this being the norm for our children.
