"We could not be happier with our decision to have our daughter attend CCEP! The teachers and director make the school such a warm and inviting place to be, for the parents, as well as the children. My daughter is incredibly excited about learning new things, which I believe is a result of being in an environment that is supportive and age-appropriate. The teachers also encourage parent involvement, which keeps us informed of classroom events and promotes a team approach to our child's education.  We believe that CCEP is a great place for our child to begin a life-long love of learning and we look forward to watching her grow emotionally, socially, and academically here!" -  Beth R.

"We feel so fortunate to have started our childrens’ pre-school years at Christ Church Episcopal Pre-school.  From our initial tour of CCEP 3 years ago, we continue to be greeted warmly by our teachers and the director of the facility daily.  The teachers, pastors, director and music leader are all so kind and courteous to us and our children.  Having been a part of the school since its inception, my husband and I have watched the 2-classroom preschool grow to a 5-classroom school, while the staff continues to amaze us with their focus on a safe, fun learning environment for our kids.  

Next year will be our last year attending CCEP, as our son will start Kindergarten in the fall and our daughter will begin in the fall of 2010.  We (the children and parents) will truly miss CCEP immensely.  Thanks to the wonderful staff we feel our son has received excellent preparation for Kindergarten and he is fully prepared.  Our daughter is following closely in his footsteps – just one year later.

I have proudly referred friends to Christ Church Episcopal Preschool and will continue to do so in the future." -  The Jones Family

"We have been so very pleased with all aspects of our preschool experience with Christ Church.  They have exceeded our expectations in all areas.  Our favorite aspect is the overall inviting atmosphere they provide to promote self-confidence along with a positive learning environment for all.  We also love the creative, student generated activities that are displayed daily.  We are so thankful for all the hard work and dedication everyone at Christ Church puts forth.  We have been truly blessed." -  The Coyle Family

"Thanks CCEP for all you do, we have truly enjoyed our experience and are so happy with our decision to send our children to your fine pre-school."  

"Our daughter started preschool with many fears and a lot of tears. She has blossomed and grown tremendously with the encouragement and nurturing she has received from the teachers and staff at CCEP!"  -  Mimi M

"Our daughter, Sarah has been a student at CCEP for three years.  She is by nature shy but playful.  During her time at CCEP, she has developed into a much more confident little girl.  She also understands the importance of staying focused during lessons and the importance of building friendships with her classmates.  We cannot recall a time when she was not excited about getting dressed up for school - to start another day of learning and interaction with teachers she loved and classmates she considered her best friends.

The staff at CCEP has been warm and friendly from day one.  They took a genuine interest in getting to know each child and parent.  The lessons and activities were well planned and enjoyable for all involved.  As a result Sarah has matured mentally, physically and emotionally.  This has prepared her for kindergarten next year and beyond.  The preschool experience that CCEP provided has far exceeded my expectations.   These last three years have been a positive and wonderful experience."  -  Elizabeth Gutzmer

"My son has had a wonderful experience at Christ Church Episcopal Preschool! While he is typically slow to adjust to new surroundings, he was eager to return to school after the first day of school. He looks forward to school each day.  His teachers and the director are very caring, nurturing, and ready to meet the individual needs of each child.  The program includes many creative lessons and activities where children learn almost without realizing it.  I love the Letters Alive program.  It is amazing to me how much my son has learned during one year in this safe, welcoming environment.   Thank goodness my neighbor told me about Christ Church Episcopal Preschool!"  -  Susan Trenkle

"What a great experience we have had with Christ Church Episcopal Church Preschool over the past two years.  Not only has my daughter learned quite a bit, but she has grown from a very shy little 3 year old into a 4 year old who happily participates in class activities.  It's the constant nurturing and guidance that she has received here that has helped her come out of her shell.  She skips from the car to her classroom in the morning and from the classroom to the car after school.  What more could I ask for!  Thanks for being such an important part of her life!"  -   Barbara Young

"I can't thank you enough for the positive experience we've had these past two years at Christ Church Episcopal Preschool".

"This past year in particular, I witnessed Eric transition from being hesitant and guarded at school to increasingly becoming engaged and curious about lessons learned at school and learning to become a good friend.  Most of all, I noticed he was having great fun while learning all this good stuff at CCEP.  Lorie Brocklehurst and Jackie Mitchell make a phenomenal teaching team-they're wonderful at building rapport with each child and are gifted at balancing kindness with encouragement of independence.  I am sincerely grateful to them for their enthusiasm, warmth and commitment to their students, which I'm confident made a positive difference in Eric's last year of preschool-for this, he is all the more equipped socially and academically to face the challenges of kindergarten.
