“We chose Newcastle immediately upon visiting and we have been delighted with the school. Our daughter’s teacher truly cares about her and gives kind and loving feedback. During the days I have volunteered at the school, I’ve witnessed firsthand her patience and acceptance. The Love and Logic discipline system used at the school means I never hear a sharp or harsh word directed at any child. The teachers refer to the children respectfully as “friends”. The curriculum is age appropriate and adjusted to meet the needs of each individual child. The outdoor play area is my favorite feature. The tree house, giant covered sand box and the slides are filled with happy, exuberant children. It is an ideal school playground. Finally, there is Miss Amber’s music class. I’ve been amazed at the level of music teaching. It’s much more than singing a few songs. Rhythm, beginning music terms and pitch are incorporated subtly and recurrently in her teaching. We plan to continue with the school as long as our daughter can go.”

Newcastle Preschool was the right choice for my children. Each child thrived in the structured environment which provided the right mix between academics and socialization. Each one of the teachers is well qualified and trained in early childhood education. Kathleen Jensen is a wonderful director and gave us wonderful parenting advice. All four of our kids experienced some separation anxiety. Kathleen took the time to call us on the phone to suggest a plan on how to help the children adjust well to preschool. The teachers and staff at the school each were aware of the plan and worked together to help the children adjust to the new environment.

My kids loved all the art projects, playground, singing time, computer classes and especially Daddy Day. The teachers each made a big impact on each one of our children. We loved the pictures that the school sends home periodically of our kids participating in the activities at school. I love when they ask me to come and volunteer to help the children read, because the teachers and staff make me feel welcome and part of the school system.

I am really sad that I have no more children who will be able to attend Newcastle and that my experience with the school is coming to a close.

Sincerely,
