My daughter has special-needs and this is her second year in the LIFT program at Alta Vista. Her teachers, Leah C. & Shanel O., have gone above and beyond for my child, as well as other students in the classroom. The amount of progress that I've seen in my child (as well as others) is astronomical! I have never had any issues with communication or having my concerns addressed. Leah C. has expressed her gratitude, time-and-time again, and has noticed even the smallest of contributions by parent(s). Shanel O. has provided insight and advice, for both, inside of the classroom as well as at home. Both teachers have developed a bond with my child and make my child feel welcomed and invited, daily. I don't believe my daughter would have progressed as much as she has anywhere else. I see my daughter excited to enter the classroom and the teachers (including assistants) are engaged and know the children's individual personalities and needs. They. Truly. Care. In a perfect world, teachers Ms. Leah C., Ms. Shanel O., and assistants Ms. Tsai, and Mr. Lindsay, would all adjust their positions and follow my daughter through her kindergarten experience. Unfortunately, they can't. Nonetheless, we were blessed to have had this staff for the two years that we did and my daughter had a great experience. I wouldn't have it any other way.
