"We were so fortunate to find 'Love of Learning'. The website described Trudi's program to a "T".
We couldn't wait to meet her and talk about her home-based program. It seemed exactly what we were looking for, as we wanted our daughter to learn and thrive before heading off to JK.
After meeting Trudi, there was no doubt in our mind this was the pre-school for us. Not only did our daughter flourish at 'Love of Learning' but she learned how to learn and became so focused (our number one priority), all while laughing and singing each day after school! We discovered each day all the little skills our child had acquired and would ask her, "Where did you learn that?" or "How do you know about that? " and the answer would always be the same, "I learned it at Miss Trudi's". Not only did our daughter acquire confidence, she discovered music, rhythm, art and social skills. The small school setting gave her the individual time she needed and permitted Trudi to focus on our child's skills & weaknesses. We always felt part of the equation as we received pictures of the days work and daily feedback via workbooks, which permitted us to focus our work at home with our daughter. We highly recommend 'Love of Learning', Trudi and her wonderful program. If you take the time to talk and visit with her, you will see, as we did, that she is a very caring, warm, knowledgeable and engaging teacher. A rare gem! Galarneau Family"  "I have had my two boys, aged 3 and 5, at 'Love of Learning' since Sept. 2008 and both have thrived. Trudi allows them to express their personalities, explore interests and develop enthusiasm for learning that is wonderful to observe. When they first started, I would ask my older son about his day and what he learned, and he finally said to me, "This isn't that kind of school mom - we do math and reading and stuff like at my kindergarten but Trudi makes it fun." Trudi provides daily updates of activities in the classroom, along with photos, and is always receptive to chatting at the end of the day if I have questions or concerns. Her ideas and teaching methods are creative and effective, and she clearly cares about the whole child. The ratio in the classroom is (4:1), allowing her to provide individualized teaching to each child. Trudi makes each child feel special and important. She is very musical and integrates music and instruments into each day. As someone who lacks that talent, I am thrilled my children are able to experience this and both regularly sing songs they've learned. I have nothing but positive things to say about 'Love of Learning', and my only regret is my older son will be moving into grade 1 in Sept. and no longer able to participate in this fabulous program. Tara N." "My 3 year old son is eager to get to school and to learn! He loves the hands-on activities and the warm and supportive approach used by his teacher, Trudi. The programme is tailored to meet his individual needs and interests. I am thrilled with the excellent communication through daily photos and e-mail updates. I would highly recommend 'Love of Learning' as the programme is exemplary and Trudi is dynamic, passionate and devoted to the children. K. Butler" |
