We have two children that attended JKPC Co-op Preschool for both the three and four year old classes.  Ben and Eleanor loved pre-school and were well prepared for Kindergarten.  The teachers ensured the children developed skills that helped them when they transitioned to Kindergarten.  These skills included: alphabet and number recognition; fine motor (writing, scissoring); physical (coordination, playground mobility), and social (the all important how to share and get along with others!).  At the end of the four year old year, the teachers did an assessment to ensure each child was ready to move on.  Both Ben and Eleanor were excited and confident about going to Kindergarten and have progressed well in Elementary school.  I believe their success is due largely to the guidance, support and love from their pre-school teachers.  The teachers at John Knox prepared my kids for Kindergarten and prepared me for working in the classrooms. 

I would (and do) highly recommend the John Knox Co-op Pre-school.

Our family has been so very pleased with JKCP.  The atmosphere of the school is just like home, warm, and inviting.  We have had 2 of our children attend the school, and each school day, we saw such joy and happiness in their faces when they knew it was a school day... they always looked forward to it.  JKCP provided them with that perfect first-time school experience, where they learned that school is a positive, safe, and comfortable place for learning and making friends.  The school's program has just the right balance between structure and open-endedness, academic skills and social/life skills, and small group and large group activities.  There really is something for everyone.  I highly recommend this school if you are looking for a place for your children to feel cared for and accepted, and where they will foster a real love of learning.
