A tale of first impressions:

"As a school committee member in my town, I was once part of a dedicated selection committee that was looking to hire a headmaster. We compared dozens of resumes, checked references, and interviewed potential candidates. A secretary greeted the candidates on the day of the interviews and spent five minutes with each one. She privately noted her three top choices for the position. Exhausted but confident with our efforts, we made a list of our top three choices. The secretary subsequently shared her list with me and it was identical to ours. And her top pick? He became our new headmaster."

-- Shelley Poulsen

All schools may sound great on paper—and on websites. The only way to determine whether a program is right for your child is to see it with your own eyes and sense it with your own intuition.

We are ready for first impressions. Come check us out:

  • Is our school clean, updated and sunny?
  • Does it offer a variety of modalities of play?
  • Does it feel warm and inviting?
  • Do the children seem happy and engaged?
  • What tones do the teachers use with the students?
  • Do the teachers seem exhausted or attentive?
  • Does this look like a fun place to work and play?
