Parent Testimonials for Pearson Community Co-op School

Making the decision about which nursery school to pick doesn't always feel like an easy decision. So many factors to weigh out from learning style, schedule, the classroom atmosphere even to price and availability.

Pearson Community Co-op Nursery School has been running for over 35 years and is one of the most respected and well-run schools in Burlington. We have a long line of  "alumni" (both past parents and past children) with wonderful memories and experiences with our Pearson  education and culture.

Recently we asked current and past parents for their thoughts about Pearson and we received overwhelmingly positive feedback - so much that we have to share with you. Once you hear from other parents you can understand how much of a positive affect Pearson has had on their family's life.


"Pearson gave all of my children the BEST start they could possibly have before entering the school system! The school is constantly evolving according to the voice of every parent and child that attends. I've been on the Executive Board for 3 years and I can say with confidence that Pearson is run professionally and fair in every aspect imaginable. I'm not sure who misses Pearson more.. me or the kids!"
Caroline

"I have had 2 children at Pearson, with a third one coming up. She will be there for 2 years, and I actually made my 'back to work' schedule with her upcoming Pearson days in mind because there is no way I could not send her! The amount of caring and thought that the staff put into every aspect of the children's day is amazing. I love being a duty parent, and everyone feels like they are part of the team...we are all there for the kids. It is a place filled with so much love and laughter, I feel truly blessed and privileged that myself and children have been able to be a part of the Pearson family for so many years I might just keep having kids so I don't have to leave, lol!!"

"This is my third year in a row with Pearson. I love being involved in a co-p nursery school. It has given me a chance to spend quality time playing with my children and watching them grow and learn. They always looked forward to when "mommy was on her duty shift". I've met some of the best kids and parents through this program and we will remain friends for a very long time."

"We've had 3 kids at Pearson and love it! Wonderful, caring staff & incredible parent volunteers all enhance the creative, play-based preschool curriculum. We love the big & bright duo classrooms with many centres for play and the big outdoor playground for gross motor activity. LOVE Pearson! We're coming back for a 4th year next to try the RTL program next!"
Ann-Marie

"I can't say enough about the wonderful staff at Pearson. My daughter has required some extra patience and understanding and she definitely got it! She has gone from crying and chewing on her fingers with anxiety to confidently going to school and is beginning to explore more and more. I have no doubt that her experience at Pearson will ease her transition to Junior Kindergarten in the Fall. The communication and willingness to work with parents for the good of the child is second to none at Pearson."

"I would totally do it - not a parent though, just an impressed Aunt!!! GREAT program with AMAZINGLY AWESOME staff!"
Aunt Mandy

 
"I love Pearson...but most important my son loves his Nursery School! The staff is so caring and really puts 110% into teaching the children and making sure its a great environment for kids to grow in! I love the structure and all the children there are so pleasant to be around! I am so thankful that my son has a great group of kids to play, learn and grow with!"
Lisa


"My son (2011/2012 year) gained so much confidence and learned an incredible amount from the RTL program, so much effort put into each day and I absolutely loved all the art work that came home on a daily basis, so much more than I have seen to-date in JK! I am counting the days/months until I can put my younger son in this program and preschool!!"
Amanda 

"We loved the kindness and caring of Pearson's teachers and and the positive and fun learning environment. My son loved it there. But I would also like to mention the benefits for the parents - being new to Burlington, I was so pleased with the welcoming and friendliness of the other parents and met one of my best friends on one of the preschool committees. Pearson has benefits for the whole family."
Rosalyn


"The best preschool teachers in Burlington and a great community of families. Under the caring guidance of Fiona, Allison, Joanna and others, all three of my children were able to further develop their imagination, creativity and critical thinking skills to help them be enthusiastic learners and successful students in kindergarten and beyond. I am so grateful for the experience we all have had."
