    The moment we stepped onto Sea Breeze's campus for its open house for prospective parents, my wife…read moreand I fell in love with the energy of the school -- children's voices bouncing off of each other, the chitter chatter of parents talking to each other, to teachers and to other school children, and the central courtyards surrounded by classrooms and offices. The entire community-feel took my wife and I back to going to school as kids, being dropped off by our parents, and getting fully absorbed by a place dedicated to us until we came home. As we walked through the entrance gate, we were immediately greeted by Jamie, as if we were coming home from college for the first time -- she welcomed our daughter with the energy of the sun, making extra effort to make sure she was pronouncing her name correctly. Next, we met our daughter's future teachers -- Ms. Jessica and Mrs. Darling -- and instantly fell in love with them. We spoke with Sea Breeze's principal, Jerelyn, and felt confident in the school's mission and priorities. Fast forward approx. a year later, we're excited for our daughter's second year at Sea Breeze. More importantly, she's excited! Everything we first felt about Sea Breeze has somehow been truer -- we've learned that our neighbors kids went to Sea Breeze decades earlier and still remember their teachers (who are still there!), we've learned that the administration is just as welcoming, loving, and supportive as the teachers are, and most importantly, that our daughter's love of learning has grown deeper. When our younger daughter turns 2 next year, we'll be enrolling her as well! We're so glad we trusted the first impression Sea Breeze made!

    We feel so lucky to have found Sea Breeze for our children's first school experience. Our two…read morechildren are genuinely excited to go to school each day and we know that has so much to do with the amazing staff and the environment here. What has amazed us is how much our son has learned and grown. He came into Sea Breeze with some speech delays, and watching his confidence and communication flourish has meant so much to us. We truly believe that the growth is a reflection of the patience and encouragement of the incredible teachers who show up for our children every day. We're so thankful that their love for learning has sprouted from such a young age and trust it will have a positive impact as they grow! As parents, trust doesn't come easy with who we feel comfortable watching our children, but they are truly in wonderful caring hands.

    I am beyond thrilled with Gloria Dei. My two children are in the middle of their second year there,…read moreand I have very positive feedback. Our children started last year and the growth and progress we've seen is remarkable. I was concerned about their adjustment... both had been home with me and had no prior pre-school / daycare experience outside of extended family. I was thrilled that they were able to attend the same class, in the mixed junior kindergarten / kindergarten class. Ms. Marquardt was amazing. The second day of school my youngest raced to class and threw her arms around her teacher. My son, who is very shy was allowed to adjust and blossom within his comfort zone. Her caring is evident in the way the children respond to her. The small class size really affords each child the opportunity to receive an education tailored to his/her needs. This year they're in separate classes, and still flourishing. For the kindergarten classes, the curriculum is one of active and experiential learning. There is good focus on reading and early math basics. I'm thrilled with the use of technology in the classroom in meaningful ways. For the mixed classroom (grades 1-5), the students are encouraged to interact and share in their daily activities. I especially enjoy seeing the children working in community-based ways, instead of having distinct separation of grades that you experience in larger schools. Mrs. Lee is an especially patient and caring teacher. Her gentle leadership and constant encouragement is inspirational... My son continues to expand his general scholastic and interpersonal skills. This school promotes community and fellowship. The inclusion of bible-based teachings provide an extra layer of education that just can't be found in public schools. The only drawback for me is there isn't a "gym" or a rigorous physical education curriculum. That being said, there is ample opportunity for the children to stretch, climb, run and play during the scheduled recess periods. I'll gladly trade organized sports on site for the caring education that they receive daily.

    I only visited the church once (and this has nothing to do with the school). The church is lovely,…read moreand they have a Saturday service at 6 p.m. - a perfect time for me. But the pastor and congregation belong to a conservative wing of the Lutheran church, which includes considering homosexuality a major sin. Unfortunately, I'm from a liberal wing of the Lutheran church, and since it came up in the sermon (I suspect it comes up every week), I knew this wasn't the place for me. They believe in "close communion" where they encourage/allow only like minded people to share in the Body of Christ. If you're from a liberal wing of the Lutheran church (or a Christian from another denomination), they require you to take a class before you can take communion with them. I got the feeling they want you to agree with their philosophies, or they don't want to share communion with you.
