Testimonials

"When my son was three years old and an only child, we decided that it would be a good idea for him to attend pre-school.  After a few days at another school, I was very unhappy and thought that I was never going to be happy anywhere I sent him.  Then I decided to call Kangaroo Kourt Preschool.  They told me to come right over and check out the school. I knew from the first meeting with Miss Lisa that this would be the place for our son.  It was very hard for me to send my son off to strangers.  I had never trusted anyone outside of my family with him.  The staff at Kangaroo Kourt proved to me that there are people that will love your children and take care of them as if they were their own.  I have shared some of the happiest moments of my sons young life with them.  The fondest memory I will have of them is Miss Lisa, Miss Peggy, and myself crying together over my son writing that his mommy was his best friend.  There is not a day that goes by that Dylan doesn't talk about Miss Lisa or Miss Peggy.  They helped him become the social butterfly he is now.  They have truly made a mark on Dylan's and my life forever.  Although our path's have changed, we will never forget what the whole staff at Kangaroo Kourt has done for our family.  Miss Karen (the director) is running one of the most professional and caring schools that anyone could ever ask for.  She understands what we go through as parents and is there no matter what.  All of the staff are wonderful human beings and I am blessed to have had them in my child's life."

"It makes me feel good about our decision to place Felicity there (at Kangaroo Kourt), so she could learn how to share and play with other children.  We knew she was going to be an only child, and didn't want her to grow up to be spoiled. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you and all your staff.  Although we don't get over there to see you very often, we talk about you all the time, you'll never be forgotten."

"…the atmosphere at Kangaroo Kourt is very welcoming. Karen McKee, the owner, has set up the center so it revolves around children. The rooms have interesting learning and play centers. As an educator for 15 years, I feel comfortable with the curriculum set up by Karen. Karen is enthusiastic when dealing with the children. It is obvious she enjoys being with them."

"I have known Karen McKee for the past six years. All three of my children have attended Kangaroo Kourt. Under her direction, she has made Kangaroo Kourt a fun, nurturing, creative and educational experience for each of the families that have attended. I have seen her wipe away tears with compassion and celebrate accomplishments with enthusiasm."

"…the four year old academic program is simply fantastic. My son has just entered Kindergarten and has a complete mastery of every Kindergarten entrance skill. I know this is a result of the strong academic program created and implemented by karen McKee and her wonderful staff. I can say without hesitation, there has never been a single thing that I have been dissatisfied with the entire time my son was there, or currently with my daughter still attending."

"Being a mom, I have never had a time in my life that I could go to work and leave my child in the hand of others and not worry. Thank you for the wonderful care you gave!"

"…as an educator I'd like to say you have a top notch, age appropriate, program. I brag about it a lot! But more importantly I'd like to say as a Mother you have a home-like atmosphere for us working Moms to feel peace of mind while we are not with our little ones. Thanks for six great years—also, thanks for helping us "bring up" our kids."
