What Parents Love about Willie Price
“Under the care and guidance of her teachers and assistant teachers in the “Duck” and “Monkey” classes – Ms. Alden, Ms. Whitney, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Alyce, and Ms. Joy – Marie has thrived academically. The pace at which she has mastered foundational literacy and mathematics skills has been breathtaking to witness. We have no reservation about how well-prepared she is to walk into a kindergarten class next fall. Every morning as I pulled away from the school, I knew she was in a place where she was as loved and as cared for as she is with her family (and I know she felt that way too). There is nothing greater that any school can offer than this. We could not be more pleased with Marie’s experience there. Over the past two years, Willie Price exceeded every expectation. We wish every school our children ever attend could be like Willie Price. It is truly a special place. Thank you for making it so.”
