Parent Testimonials

My daughter has really loved being part of the Lilliput Community! She has really come out of her shell and is begining to show what she has been learning with us at home. We are very happy with the warm and friendly staff and feel like we have made a great decision in sending her to school at Lilliput.

I am a parent of a 6 year old girl who has attended Lilliput for the past 4 years. The first year of preschool was the introduction to what would become an amazing and nurturing educational-based school setting experience; it exceeded my expectations as both a parent and social worker. With each year that passed, I have seen noticeable strides in my daughter's childhood development in terms of her seeking out new friends to play with, maintaining those friendships, fostering her enjoyment of being read books in the weekly book clubs, promoting the arts, and increased self-confidence with each year. My dauther likes to be challenged academically and Lilliput provides this for her. The teachers have recognized how to foster her overall development each year along the way, at her own pace, in their own style.

As I recall the goings-on of the previous years, with each class and teacher as unique as its classmates, an image forms in my mind: a quilt. I believe the 4 years of classes represent a patchwork quilt; all different peices from various fabric, yet are sewn together for a common cause and purpose - to comfort. Little by little, piece by piece, year by year the quilt reflects a piece of priceless art. To me, the years at Lilliput represent an overall cohesiveness in the staffing and how the curriculum has been carried out. The creative manner in which the teachers have connected skill-based learing with social development, numbers/math with everyday experiences, and how each season is celebrated with festivity and enthusiasm, is why I would highly recomment Lilliput as a school for your child. I truley believe that the education provided in terms of the curriculum, in conjunction with nurturing psycho-social components, are promoting positive learning experiences; these are the stepping stones for many years to come. I believe and example of this is how Lilliput connects community integration (i.e. field trips) with the educational curriculum - tying together what is learned in teh classroom to how it currently is or was historically expreienced in the community. The true reaction to Lilliput is from my daughter, herself, who has always enjoyed going to Lilliput, arriving home with a smile and saying: "I love school mommy." I know she will sorely miss it next year.

I exend my deepest thanks and gratitude toward all the teachers who have dedicated their time and expertise o the priceless gift of making a difference in a child's life. Thank you.
