We are a military family with deep roots in business, politics, and government and medical fields. While on duty in Dallas my daughter delivered our first grandson while living in Dallas. Our family is intentional on health and wellness and educational values from early in utero. Our grandson Prosper was nursed until age 2, and my daughter was blessed to stay home with him his first year of life.
Prosper is an intelligent, vibrant, happy and easy-going, fun loving child we believe in gentle parenting, holistic living and we are big on family and traveling the world to see and experience new adventures to broaden our understanding of all cultures; we knew we couldn't teach Spanish as the immersion school can, so we had to have him learn early since Spanish is not spoken In our homes regularly, although we have part Spanish heritage. Upon hitting 1 year old we started looking for immersion schools that are nurturing, organized and superior in learning and growth of the young mind while gaining second language skills.
We toured so many schools in Addison, Frisco, Dallas and Richardson and surrounding suburbs to find the perfect fit, we decided on a school that was reasonably priced and had a pretty nice staff and seem to be a great program. We found out quickly it was the WRONG fit for Prosper he came home screaming daily for his mom, and he literally looked like zombie on pick up daily. I even showed up several random times during classroom time and he was crying , sad and not learning just in a "babysitting" environment, where staffed looked young and stressed out.
We stayed only 3 days and kindly told the director of the decision. We then
began the search again, but this time had high hopes that we could find a spot for our Prosper that's close to home, kind and works like a Montessori style school but immersed in learning and Spanish, nurturing and also affordable along with nurturing staff and director . You would think this would be easy however it was very challenging to find all these check marks and have an opening for him in the program.
Well after long searches and tiring interviews the process of interviews, meetings , tours and paperwork was tedious.
We met Monica the director over the phone and her spirit is sweet, detailed in the passion and love for children, super kind, and gentle hearted. It felt like the warm fuzzy feeling you get when we would visit South America and enjoy the culture of family and Pride of culture. We set a family video meeting up, we then set a tour up. Finally we both decided it was a good fit and Prosper began school at what we call the BEST experience he's had in his life of 2 years on this earth: as grandparents we were all
Living abroad and could not see Prosper so it was important we knew that his daily activities were filled with special moments that all young learners should have; gardening, dancing, music, math, science, Spanish; mandarin, celebration of life, rest, positive words, SUPER clean environment (no outside shoes inside policy for everyone) - no school I've met does this) and healthy food, healthy mind healthy body healthy spirit .
From the time Prosper began school at BWK he LOVED school at 1 year old to 2 year old he leaned so much!
BWK provided a grandma type of envirmeont with a high end private school immersion of Montessori nature and Spanish and mandarin blend! Honestly I don't know how Mrs Monica does it but she has the BEST school and we've raised 6 kids and have yet to see a school powered like hers!
BWK has continuously wowed us: daily access to pictures teacher notes, to holiday parties to l the musical activities, to seasonal picture day, to dancing, Singing to the feeling of pride and love and respect and confidence that BWK and his teachers that quickly became the family Prosper so needed in his first year placed in his life- it's hard being military moving and they made his first year a special one!
BWK set the bar so high that we had to move abruptly and can't find a place like Mrs Monica's BWK!
Mrs Monica accommodated a quick refund on our end, and a beautiful farewell to Prosper. She ensured he exited with love as the same way he was entered with love and gentle life lessons.
Prosper always from DAY 1 jumped out the car with a smile and walked hand and hand with his teacher to the car at the end of EVERY day with a smile and hug! Positive touch, positive words and positive vibes are all this baby received!
This is not a paid review this is a grandmother telling you to take your child here and you Won't regret it!! Absolutely no one can touch her passion and vision for a school it should be duplicated!
We would have let him grow up at BWK until they kicked us out had the military not move us! If you're in Dallas you're lucky to have such a school option for your sweet child! So choose wisely!
