“Thank you so much for the opportunity you gave Marcus at the cooperative school. We leave with broken hearts because, for my son, school was his second home. The children not only learned academics, they also learned to value, respect and love their neighbors. You have excellent teachers...This isn’t a goodbye, it’s a blessing. You can continue to count on us for whatever you need. Thank you for having such a big heart.”
“I thank you for the great support you gave my Itzayani, that greatness you gave him, giving him better learning and discovery in all aspects despite having many children. You did not neglect any of them. A thousand thanks.”
“My family and I are very grateful to the school for everything you did for my daughters during these three years of experience and knowledge. “
“We love the smaller classes and that photos go out every day. Having the photos gives us an opportunity to engage with our kids about what they were doing in school and for us to know what they are doing.”
“Kids don’t memorize. They learn by experience.”
“Children have a sense of independence, are more confident and more aware of environmental issues. They often raise them at home.”
“Kids enjoy the special activities such as music and physical fitness.”
“There is a real community here where the kids feel like they belong and are safe.”
"Me gusta se ven felices los ninos. "
(I like that the kids look happy.)
"Mil gracias que Linda se ve mi nina feliz! Aligual ques los demas peques. "
(Thank you that Linda is my happy girl! Like the other kids.)
"We just love the fact that its Spanish families and locals and the Montessori bit and the fact that he can learn Spanish. There’s different elements, whether it’s the art or the music. I think you could tell that the teachers all really love the kids, especially the first year. I feel like Jasper would come home with lipstick kiss marks every couple days. Lots of love for sure."
"But you know, it really helped him a lot. He wasn’t very social with other kids when he went in and now he’s just like, over a year later, and he’s totally a different boy. So I think that’s kind of the most important thing about school at that age, the social interaction."
