When I was looking for a school for my son, three friends recommended this school. Parisa and the teachers of Custer Parkway Preschool very quickly taught me "why."
My son, typical of most toddlers, has gone through many ups and downs, during his first 9 months at this school. He went through the "I miss Mommy" phase, which lasted two weeks because his teachers were attentive and understand. He went through the "I'm angry and I'll hit" phase, which took a bit longer to correct by his teachers AND Ms. Parisa. He is currently going through the "I want to learn and teach everything to everyone" phase, which I hope will last a lifetime. He is enthusiastic about learning and experiencing new things. He misses his teachers and Ms. Parisa during the weekend, mentioning them by name. He points out letters he knows, identifies shapes when we are out, cannot wait to go to the window and report on "the weather today," counts for fun, etc. This lets me know the school is doing something very unique for these children.
In addition to executing an exceptional curriculum and hiring gifted teachers, Parisa has a "hands on" approach with her students. She is present, she is encouraging, she guides them when they need extra attention. She is loving - my son tells me he loves her. This is what I want from a Head of School.
I cannot recommend this school highly enough. read more
