Awesome teachers, very quick and noticeable results! The preschool program is outstanding. Ms. Caletti taught my son his first sentence to ask for something the first very week of school. He was non-verbal. Many beautiful crafts came home (our Kindergarten at Tambark Creek Elementary produced no crafts worth keeping), and we got nice pictures from the school as well. The other specialists were excellent too. Very impressed! Close Quote

My daughter completed kindergarten at Silver Firs Elementary and will start first grade in the 2017-2018 school year. Her kindergarten teacher was fabulous, and surprised me with how much she really knew and understood my child. My daughter loves this school, and we are thrilled with her academic and social progress. Our experience with the teachers, principal, specialty, and administrative staff has been nothing but positive. The school spirit and community is warm and welcoming. Looking forward to many more years at this school with our kids. Close Quote
