Having both my kids at Patterson for the last three years, I've seen how the teachers there really help them grow. I love this school which cares a lot not only about students' learning, but also their emotions and feelings. My older kid used to really hate going to school and would often end up in tears during preschool. But ever since starting at Patterson, things have totally turned around. The teachers there really looked out for her and always encouraged my child to express herself confidently. The vibe at Patterson has not only helped my kid academically but has also given her a major boost in self-esteem.Moreover, the school offers a diverse range of enrichment programs which are all led by Patterson teachers. From arts and crafts to dance and movement, debate, drama, coding, band, recorder, and more. Thanks to their enthusiasm, my kids have the opportunity to explore various activities and discover their passions. Ms. Dil (new principal), has brought about a lot of positive changes since she joined in 2022. She's super friendly and easy to approach. You can catch her walking around the campus, helping out kids and chatting with parents. Classrooms have been transformed into awesome maker spaces, flex rooms, and sensory areas, giving students even more cool stuff to explore and learn from.PTA also does a great job working with the school, putting together fun activities like bedtime story nights, fall and winter festivals, celebrations for the school's 65th anniversary, and even free art clubs for students. They're all about building a supportive vibe within the school. Patterson's been awesome for my kids, and I totally recommend it to parents looking for a school that's nurturing and academically challenging!
