Dalton Preschool

"Our oldest daughter has been attending Dalton Preschool this year. We absolutely LOVE the environment and care she receives. As a teacher myself, I care so much about the love and attention students receive from their caregivers and this is truly a warm and supportive environment. We hope that our other children will also have the opportunity to grow and learn at this great preschool!"

"I have been with Dalton Preschool for a few years. Both of my oldest children have attended and I cannot express how much it has helped prepare them for kindergarten. I always looked forward to the conversations with my son when I pick him up from school. Whether they've done arts and crafts, or changed the "fire station" (play area) into a "grocery store" or "post office", or learned about the planets, he is always excited to tell me about his day. More than likely, our youngest will also get the Dalton Preschool experience."

"This is our third year at Dalton Preschool, we love that the children learn through play in a clean, safe, nurturing environment. The teachers always greet us with a smile at the door and our grandson is very happy to go to school each day. We have made many wonderful friends through Dalton Preschool and we are still in touch with former classmates and their parents. It's a great place to grow and learn!"

"My daughter started at DCNS this past September when she was just three and a half years old. Before she entered school we had gone on several playdates and other activities designed for children and we were struggling with learning how to share and how to keep our hands to ourselves and how to use our words instead of acting out. So even though I was nervous to part with the little human I created and had spent every waking hour with (and we were awake most of them) I sent her off to her first year of her school career. I cannot say enough how pleased we have both been with this experience. Ms. Harris is the preschool teacher you wish you had, full of enthusiasm, creativity, knowledge and a true love for children. Each day my daughter comes home with wonderful art projects, stories about the day's activities and her part in them and a desire to go back to school the next day, i think she would go seven days a week if she had the chance. The days of pulling other kids hair or refusing to share a toy are long past now and if they do on occasion happen, we are able to talk thru it and communicate more effectively with each other. I know that her attendance at DCNS has everything to do with that. She has learned so many important social skills that as a parent I was not able to teach her, no matter how much i wanted to, and Ms. Harris has consistently been there to work with me so as to create an united front which in turn made life easier, and who wouldn't want that. I am so grateful to have found a place to bring my daughter that i feel safe leaving her throughout the day knowing that she is having a blast, well taken care of and looked after (the classes are small and there is a lot of individual attention given to each child) and learning about variety of topics thru hands on activities that are well thought out and designed for her needs. So it is my official recommendation that if you have a child of age who lives in this area you will be doing everyone a favor by sending them to DCNS, you'll thank me later."
