“My son has been enrolled in the Transitional Kindergarten program at North Canton KinderCare since August 2024. He has a late birthday and I was concerned about him starting Kindergarten so young, so we made the difficult decision to delay and give him one more year to prepare for “big school”. I really agonized over this decision, but it was clear after just a few weeks that it was the best thing I could have done for him. The growth I have seen in him in this short time absolutely blows me away. He would have been fine in Kindergarten academically, but now he is reading (or trying to read) anything he can get his hands on! His writing journals we receive show so much progress, and he is gaining SUCH valuable social-emotional skills that will serve him for the rest of his life. I know he is going to walk into Kindergarten next year another year older, but infinitely more ready to start the rest of his education on the right foot.
The class is small, and they are like a family. Ms. Jami and Ms. Karen are always excited to see him and I get updates on everything you could want to know. Your child would be lucky to learn from them, and I feel like I have given my child a gift by putting him in their class. The friends he has made are so tight knit that it honestly brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. We have loved being a part of all of the family events this year and every teacher at the center has always greeted me and my child with a smile.
I know how difficult it is for early education professionals to carry the weight of supporting both the children entrusted to them and the parents who NEED them, but they never make it feel like less than a joy. I am profoundly grateful for the love they have given my child. Just this morning he had the option of staying home for a daddy day but was so upset to miss school that he is there now! ? If that alone isn’t enough praise, I don’t know what is!”
