Testimonials

NBRC Preschool is an excellent environment to introduce a child to the school experience and I highly recommend it to anyone considering preschool for their child.

First, this Preschool is a place that really understands children. Second, the teachers that work at the school are excellent. From the Director on down, all the staffers are first-rate professionals and the atmosphere at the Preschool is that of a warm, happy place. Third, the classrooms and overall facility are very clean, bright, and cheery. They have a wonderful expansive playground outside, a fun indoor playground, and a large multi-purpose room used for many activities.

Fourth, academically, I’ve been impressed with what the children learn as well as the teaching techniques. In addition to the fundamentals, they learn so many other things. It’s wonderful to have your child come home talking about which animals hibernate during winter and which ones don’t; how the class watched a butterfly grow from a cocoon; how they touched a horse-shoe crab; baked muffins and bread in class; had a Pilgrim/Indian Thanksgiving feast; not to mention the many songs they sing. Lastly, the Christian aspect is also a huge plus. It’s been great to have the values being taught at home reinforced in a school environment – from something as simple as giving thanks before one eats to learning the “Fruit of the Spirit” via song. Ironically, it was a non-Christian friend who first recommended the school to me as both of her children had very positive experiences at the Preschool. It is a safe and healthy environment and one that I have no reservations entrusting with my child.

I have to agree with one of the fathers I met at drop-off on my child’s first day. The only disappointment with NBRC Preschool is that the program doesn’t go on through the 12th grade!

We switched our daughter to NBRC Preschool this year because location is closer to us and it came recommended by friends. Her teachers are organized, cheerful and somehow manage to engage each child in her class with personal attention.

Hands-on learning while having lots of fun isn’t just advertised, but delivered. And most importantly to me, my daughter LOVES going to school here. She’s learned so much already in the first half-year! Don’t miss checking out this preschool.

I love this school! It offers a variety of programs for every child at all different developmental stages. The school’s program prepares children for their transition to kindergarten.

Also, the enrichment programs that the school has are wonderful like “Healthy Chefs,” “Science Explorers,” and “TaeKwonDo.” These extras are not offered in a lot of other Preschools in the area.

The teaching staff is wonderful and Mrs. Landrieu does a wonderful job as director. She has given new life to the school, in my opinion.

I highly recommend the school to anyone who is undecided about where to send there child for preschool. I truly feel your choice won’t be regretted.

I have visited a few different preschools over the years wondering what else was out there and the main reasons I have chosen this school is the love and dedication of the teachers! I hate to use the term warm and fuzzy but I like warm and fuzzy when it comes to the care of my precious babies. They are always greeted with open arms and smiles and so many of the teachers have been there since my 8th grader was there and much longer. I also love the atmosphere of the school, it is so bright and cheerful.

I think academics is important but at their tender ages I think social interaction and the experience of learning routines and how to get along with others and simple things like raising hands and taking turns is most important. When my daughter comes home, every time she is happy and excited to go back which says it all.

My four year old son attended the Little Lambs program last year, and is now in the Tues./Thurs. class at NBRC. He’s doing so well, ALL the staff are warm & kind. I couldn’t be happier with the teachers they are so wonderful with the children,I feel confident leaving him in their care, I love to hear about all his fun activities he did for the day ( gym, music,language arts.) I looked at a few Preschools, I felt that NBRC was by far the best choice for my son, and I will be sending my two year old daughter to NBRC as well.

We’re very pleased with the kindness and attention the North Branch Reformed Church Preschool staff have shown our children over the years. We never doubted that our children were in a safe and enriching environment.

NBRC has a genuine Preschool with wonderful teachers and a great learning environment. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our daughter Julia, currently in the T/TH class and loves it. Our son Owen attended for 3 years and he especially enjoyed the Kinder Plus program.

North Branch Reformed Church Preschool creates a warm, caring, safe environment for children. I have always appreciated the nurturing and positive style of teaching by an accredited staff of mostly mothers and grandmothers. Two of my children have attended North Branch which has been a great stepping stone for elementary school.

In the future, I will definitely be sending my one year old to NBRC Preschool. I am looking forward to hearing all about her fun filled days of learning ABC’s, 123’s, painting, singing, and everyone’s favorite; playground time.

For the past three years, my children have attended North Branch Reformed Church Preschool. The staff provide a caring environment for your children to learn and grow. The activities they have for the children are fun, constructive and develop social skills. The facilities are clean, safe and secure. Our children have benefited greatly from their experience here at this school.

~ Natasha Zelis (mother of three)

Our family has had a wonderful experience at North Branch Reformed Church Preschool. My daughter attended happily for 2 years, learning, playing, and growing. But when it was time for my son to attend, I was concerned on how his life-threatening health issues would be managed.

The director reassured me that as a Christian Preschool, they firmly believe that every child has a place there. That statement alone brought a lot of relief to my mind. Together, we worked out a management plan so that the room and the routine could be adapted to his needs without changing the usual structure of the class. His teachers have been wonderfully supportive and caring. I’m happy to say that my son is safely enjoying his 3rd year there. Thanks to all your staff for your dedication and warmth.
