Akaylia’s Story

It is amazing to see how my child has grown since starting the Pre-K program. At the beginning of the school year, my daughter has just recently turned 3 years old and was shy and quiet. Being that she has never been in daycare or any type of organized group setting, she had a hard time adjusting to being away from her family and being placed in a group of 17 other children, all of whom were older than she was.

For the first few weeks, she cried every day when she was dropped off at school and was so shy she wouldn’t speak to anyone, not even the teachers. Now 9 months later, my daughter cries when she is sick and isn’t able to go to school. She talks about her friends in class and gets excited when she has homework to do at home. She went from not recognizing any of her letters to being able to write them all, both uppercase and lowercase. This is a child who couldn’t even spell her name (Akaylia) at the beginning of the year and now is able to write her name without any assistance. Not only is she writing her name, but she is asking how to spell others words so she can write them as well.

This program is designed to give children an exceptional educational groundwork that will help them for years to come. Between the knowledge my daughter has gained and the social skills she has learned, my daughter has really matured in the past year and I have the Pre-K program to thank for that.

Chassidy’s Story

The Kindergarten Readiness Program has helped Chassidy become more open to meeting new friends. It has also helped her in following daily routines. She has learned how to communicate better with her peers and teachers. Her communication at home with me (her mom) and her two older sisters has also gotten a lot better.

Brandy’s Story

The Blueprints Pre-K program is wonderful. The teachers and staff are great! They make sure they take the time and energy for each student in the class. My son has grown and matured so much since the first day of Pre-K.

He comes home every day singing a new song, and sharing everything he has learned that day. I now have the confidence that my son will succeed in school, and I have to give that credit to his teacher, Mrs. Quarture, and to Mrs. Laura. Thank you for offering this program, and accepting my son.

Jennifer’s Story

This Pre-K program has changed our lives. My daughter has grown tremendously in terms of emotional and social development. Her teachers make themselves available for discussion about any and all questions/concerns. As a mother of a child with a diagnosis, it gives me great comfort to know that my child will be safe and cared for when I drop her off at school. I cannot speak highly enough about this particular classroom.The teachers have allied with our support team to make my daughter’s Pre-K experience as pleasant as can be, and she loves school!! She is now able to write her own name, identify her classmates’ names when seen; she can even count backward now. Marilyn and Jennifer really took the time to continually communicate with me, as well as to learn how best to relate and communicate with my daughter. I couldn’t be more pleased with them!!

Kristina’s Story

The Pre-K Program has had a positive impact on my son’s life as well as our family. My son loves going to school every day and he is so excited each day to show us the work that he did for the day. It makes it very easy for me to get him ready for school since he loves to be there. We have noticed such a positive change in him since he has been in Pre-K.He is proud of himself and is very social. Before he started Pre-K he was on the shy side around other children. He has learned so much this year and I am so grateful he had the opportunity to be a part of this program. I know he has learned what he needs to know for kindergarten.

Dawn’s Story

Our family loves the Pre-K program. My daughter has autism and before she started school, she really didn’t talk much, but now words are spilling out of her mouth. Everyone comments on how much she’s changed/improved in just a few months. She now listens to directions. She can count and everyday she’s saying new words. She’s four years old and loves getting up in the mornings and getting ready for school.She talks about school all the time. Her social skills have improved dramatically and we can’t wait until next year so her little brother can join her at school. My immediate and extended family thinks very highly of the Pre-K class. Thanks so much, it has helped my daughter so, so much.

Crystal’s Story

My daughter has learned so many wonderful things in your class. Sharing, caring, and listening to authority, respecting others and their personal items and space. Miss Mary and Miss Amy are loving, patient, considerate, and keep the parents up to date on accomplishments and where my daughter may need help. I am thankful to the staff at the Washington School for teaching my daughter so many things and for planning great activities in and out of school. My daughter loves being able to talk about her day and not just listening to everyone else at home talk about their day.

Keandra’s Story

I cannot express how much Ms. Marilyn and Miss Jennifer have impacted our lives. First of all they helped ensure my son’s safety in dealing with a peanut/tree nut allergy. I had no misgivings when I dropped him off in the mornings under their ever watchful eyes! Secondly, the love, patience and compassion that they have shown all of the children is unbelievable. They have become a part of our families. My children have blossomed in their classroom. We are very saddened to be leaving them next year!

Kayla’s Story

As a parent, I am so grateful that my daughter was able to participate in the Pre-K program. Her father and I both work full-time, and this program provided us with a safe place to send her to every day knowing she would be learning and interacting with children her own age. Her teachers have always been wonderful with her, and she is excited about the things she learns and the activities they do at school. I know that I would never have been able to provide her with all the great experiences she’s had at Pre-K at home, and feel confident that she is ready for kindergarten.

Chyane’s Story

The Pre-K program is definitely a blessing allowing us to provide him an early learning and socialization opportunity while his father and I hold full-time jobs. He has shown excitement with making his own friends and learning new things consistently. My son has expressed how he “loves” his teachers and singing songs also. We as a family are grateful for the Pre-K program, as well as all of the investors and teachers.
