MILGARD CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

My child attends the preschool program that runs 3 days a week for 2 hrs a day. There is a 3 to 1 student to teacher ratio so I know she is getting lots of attention. They use student teachers so your child is getting taught by educators currently seeking higher learning. There is an observatory setting, where classes will come and observe how the children learn and behave and how the teachers are connecting with them. And the student teachers are always being monitored by professionals to assure they are preforming at their best. The program is very affordable. They do require that you spend one 2 hr session with your child per quarter in the class room and another observing. They also require that you attend a parent education meeting once a quarter. So 3 days 2 hrs each. The people running the program are fantastic and the students are great to! We are so grateful for these people and this program! I will say however that if you are looking for a program that does kindergarten readiness this is not it. They do a lot of teaching that is true however they are not checking off boxes to make sure that your child hits all the marks they need to smoothly transition in to kindergarten. My daughter was in the program during her 3rd year of life and I think that it was the most amazing place to transition her into a learning environment because of all the teachers she had a lot of support. For her next year in preschool we are going to transition to a kindergarten readiness program because I am confident that they have given her the tools to move to an environment that is not so one on one.
