"I find your weekly reports excellent.  The time schedule is good for us to read the structured approach of your teaching and the purpose of all your activities.  The individual report is great, because as you rightly state, young kids usually never tell us anything about their day at school.

I think you're doing a great job, and we are certainly extremely pleased that she was given the opportunity to join your school.

Take care, and thanks to all the team."

"We took Rosemary to her first day of school this morning. I was extremely pleased with the kind reception we received from her classroom teachers. The teachers went out of their way to welcome Rosemary, and they seemed to understand Rosemary's initial shyness. The teachers also worked with her very well to incorporate her into the class and called me mid-morning to let me know that Rosemary was getting used to the schedule and making friends with some of the other children."

"It is wonderful to have those simple but important rules for kids, and I hope she will follow them very well in school.  This morning, when I saw you holding the two boy's hands, talking to them gently about their behavior, I was very touched.  Suddenly I realized why Jessica loves this school.  Both her and I feel grateful to have such a loving, caring, gentle and patient teacher like you.  Thank you."

"Thanks so much for taking time to talk after school.  We really feel that working with him and encouraging HIM to make the right choices is a team effort...

I love to hear all your insights and how you work together with him to care for him and guide him, it means a lot to us, and I'm sure to all parents.

As parents we feel that this is the first time that we have had support and worked together with teachers on very specific issues, and that means a lot to us.  Thanks for taking time, we both have the hardest jobs and some days best and most important jobs.  We love that crazy monkey, thanks for being so great!"

"Today, when I picked Jiaxin up at school, she started to speak short sentences and words in English with me. This really is a surprise. I was prepared to hear she speaks in English at least one or two month later. I'm so glad that she likes to go to school every day. In my memory of her previous kindergarten experience in Nanjing, she cried every weekday morning before leaving for school. But since she started school in Ivy, she seems happy to come to her classroom every morning, this relieves me a lot. At first, I was worried that she has problem of integrating into her group, but seems it's not a problem for her at all. She found her way to be with other kids, and I haven't hear any negative comment from her yet. I think we have a good beginning. I should thank all her teachers for their support and courage to Jiaxin."
