Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I have really enjoyed the pre-K expreience at Alcott. So much so that I am sending my 3 year old there in the fall. The curiiculum is great, the flexibility of drop-off and pick-up makes it easy, too. The prent community is terrific. I have made good friends with parents there and now our younger kids will already have friends in the classroom--the younger siblings. The school has a great energy about it and the parent involvement is a big part of that.
