We have a child in 4k and one in kindergarten. After attending a different school for 4k we were hopeful for a better experience at East and they have delivered. The teachers are fantastic and keep parents up to date almost daily. The boys are excited to go to school and to learn/do activities at school. The school itself always has activities/events going on to keep kids and parents engaged.

"It is a very dog-friendly community. A large portion of people own dogs, and you can see a number of people walking their dogs throughout the day. My biggest complaint is the lighting in my neighborhood - even with a reflective harness and leash I still don’t feel as though my dog is visible enough for walks at night - and there are no sidewalks.

"Most of the neighborhoods in Jefferson have a Mayberry kind of feeling. It's fun to return to the city to see all of the improvements being done. one negative is that a lot of the yards aren't kept up the way that they should be."

"Great location between Lake Mills, Johnson creek, and Cambridge, and half way between Madison and Milwaukee. Easy access to any outing from local farmers markets to major sporting events, fabulous restaurants and cafe's. But still have a private setting to escape to. Truly the best of both worlds!"
