I am currently a Montgomery County educator, and I can attest to the fact that children who attend The Settlement come to Kindergarten more than ready. Settlement students are not only academically, but also socially prepared to begin their school careers.

My children have thrived in the loving and nurturing environment The Settlement provides. I will be sad when our preschool years are over, but proud of the fact that my children have a head start by attending a top notch child care center. I highly recommend The Settlement Preschool.

I absolutely love The Settlement! I am so thankful a friend had recommended this school to me. It is obvious the teachers and staff truly care about the children under their supervision. My kids have grown to love each of these special people that have become such a huge part of their daily lives.

The staff has created a curriculum that keeps the children busy and happy. My kids love the different learning centers, as well as the extra-curricular activities provided throughout the school year. My daughters love to show off their art projects and share what they have learned in some of their classes. My oldest daughter, who is 4, has learned to spell her name and is so proud of her accomplishment. She loves to practice her new writing skills every chance she gets!
I appreciate the fact that so many of the teachers have been with The Settlement for a number of years. During our hectic mornings, I can always depend on seeing the same friendly people to help me make the transition run smoothly. I think it’s important for my kids to know who will be waiting for them when they arrive at school. It is comforting for me to know who is looking after my children when I can’t be there for them. It has also given me the opportunity to get to know the individuals who are making such an impact on my children’s lives.

I truly believe the teachers and staff of The Settlement have partnered with parents to nurture and care for our kids. In fact, in so many ways, they are helping to raise our kids. I am grateful for all they do and would highly recommend this school to anyone with young children.

We are writing this letter to express our admiration and appreciation for a couple of your employees, Ms. Maggie and Ms. Esther.

My grandson, Braxton Baggett, has been attending the Settlement for about a year and a half. He started with Ms. Maggie, whom my daughter and I thought the world of. Ms. Maggie always appeared gentle and kind toward the younger children and we felt Braxton transitioned very well from home to the Settlement because of her. We always had the feeling that he was safe and secure in her hands.

When it was time, Brax moved up into Ms. Esther's room. I just can't give enough praise for this wonderful preschool teacher. During his time with Ms. Esther she helped us with two very important childhood milestones: giving up a pacifier and learning to go to the potty. Ms. Esther guided Brax through these transitions with tenderness and care.

Ms. Esther was always cheerful and welcoming toward Braxton and he learned to love going into her class in the morning. She was open and warm toward him which helped my daughter and I feel more comfortable with leaving him in a preschool program away from home. Further, her attitude with us was always friendly; it was a pleasurable experience getting to know her.

Brax is now in Ms. Tammy's class and we have the feeling that he will learn to care for Ms. Tammy the way that he did Ms. Esther.
