I LOVE the Katmint! My daughter attended two other daycares before I found the Katmint and I found the perfect match for me and my family. Why do I love the Katmint:
1) The teachers/adminstrators are patient, energetic, and full of love. My daughter loves her teachers and whenever I see the teachers/staff interacting with her or others, I feel so affirmed in my decision to move her to the Katmint. They always greet her with a hug, treat her with dignity, are responsive to her needs, and see every moment as a learning opportunity.
2) Constant Learning: My 2.5 year old daughter loves school and often re-enacts circle time, story time, and "show and tell." She is exposed to extra curricular activities (yoga, music, gardening, capoeira,etc), l they go on "trips" around the neighborhood, she earns numbers and shapes in spanish, and there are regular meeting with parents to review progress and learning. Even while students are waiting for pick up, they are teaching songs that reinforce learning.
3) They authentically value parents and their role. They welcome parents to visit any Friday (on parent participation Fridays) and even had the students send me a thank you card and the director/staff genuinely listen and respond to feedback. Whenever I pick up Alaila, the teachers are eager to share how Alaila's day went and keep me up to speed.
