“It was obvious to me that the kids at risk benefited – kids with speech, language, OT issues, shy students. I see how much my teaching practices have benefited from this program; the training, evaluation tools, philosophy – School’s Cool was an amazing learning experience for my JK’s and me.”
Cathy Darlington, Kindergarten Teacher
“Eagerness to learn and confidence will be two of the enduring qualities of the children who received the School’s Cool program! The program has such a substantial impact on children’s enthusiasm and excitement towards learning – effecting attendance, Secondary drop-out rates…the spin-offs we’ll see will be huge!”
Cheryl Brown, Principal
“You’ll know more about a child [by December] from those few months of School’s Cool in K than you will [in June] after a full year of kindergarten… Children are less likely to ‘fall through the cracks’ with School’s Cool!”
Esther Childs, Kindergarten Teacher
“I have never had parents as engaged as they were with the School’s Cool program! …they were more aware of what their children were learning and supported that learning at home. Getting parents on board really made a tremendous difference!“
Courtney Bannon, JK Teacher
“Ours is a community where parents tend to have a very negative view of school… School’s Cool in K has really helped change some of those negative attitudes – parents are coming to school, staying, talking, helping,…they’re getting involved and educated!”
Nora Leeder, Principal
“The [School’s Cool Developmental] checklist makes you look at a child differently – it shows you where the child’s strengths are and what needs work – you can’t know a child better than through School’s Cool.”
Neroli Curtis, Kindergarten Teacher
