My 2.5year old daughter has been in the toddler/pre-school program at Odyssey since the beginning of September. She absolutely loves it here!
- The staff is committed and caring, when I walk through the halls with my daughter at the end of the day all of the teachers and administrators know who she is by name, and offer a friendly smile and are happy to talk with her/us.
- My daughters teachers are perfect, they will give her a hug or comfort if she needs it, but will be firm and fair if she is acting inappropriately. They keep things in the classroom exciting for her without being overly structured. And she is learning by leaps and bounds!
- The facilities (although a bit on the older side) are huge both inside and out. With an athletic field, and two different playground areas, and an large inside gym/activity room/stage.
- My daughter not only enjoys being at school when she is there, she actually looks forward to going.
- The pricing is very reasonable, we were paying hundreds more a month at another school across town that had a much lower level of teacher involvement/caring.
- The older students (elementary and middle school age) seem to love the younger kids. My daughter has “reading buddies” regularly with an older student (the older student reads with her one on one) which my daughter adores. Many of the older students know who my daughter is and will happily talk and play with her.
I really can’t recommend it enough!
I have two children that attended Odyssey's pre-school program and LOVED it! My kids would leap out of the car and race down the hallways to get to their classroom and be with their friends and wonderful teachers. This is a school that cares about its families, loves the learning process and appreciates all learners. My daughter is now in first grade, her current teachers tell me that she is a creative and curious learner and I believe that was instilled by Odyssey's teaching practices. My son struggled with being a perfectionist, Odyssey helped us through a difficult patch when he was very hard on himself, they were extremly patient and helped him to talk through his anxiety...they also helped me with some parenting tips, it felt like a true partnership. They truely care!
