Dear Ms. Perrah,

We want to tell you how much we value our children's educational experience at Montessori Children's House (MCH) and let you know how much we appreciate you and the entire teaching staff.

We had one child attend MCH for 2+ years. And currently, have another starting her second year.

By attending MCH, our children have had a rich learning experience. It is the overall environment, not just the academic learning, which has enriched our children's growth.

Our older child has a thirst for science and drive to learn more about the world around him. His drive was further enhanced by the positive environment, which encourages his desire.

In fact, our older child has already received recognition for outstanding achievement in Science at his new school. Much of the credit for this award goes to MCH for the things he learned while attending MCH.

Both children were/are given tools to help enable them to try to solve their own issues through ICPS. This has not only given them the confidence to think and solve but to experience and try.

We are very grateful for all the loving care given our children by the entire staff, this school has been invaluable start to their lives. We know we made the right decision in giving our son the extra "kindergarten" year in Montessori. It has truly given him the boost to excel and to continue to be an enthusiastic, self-motivated learner. It has also made the decision to keep our daughter there so much easier.

On top of the normal school functions, the field trips, the summer swimming program, the music classes, Ms Sahoko's Japanese lessons, the Mother's and Father's day potlucks, and the summer camp out, help bring the children together with not only each other but with other families that attend MCH, creating one big extended family.

This is all any parent could ask for, children who love learning and who want to do well in school. My son always loves conning back to visit, a sure sign of good teachers and a good program.

Thank you for your dedication and your excellent academic program, as well as to all the teachers and staff.
