Additional Comments:

We looked into Jack & Jill because we heard that the teacher (Kim) is wonderful--and she is. I'm amazed by her patience, enthusiasm, and care for the children. On one of our first days there I told her that my daughter had said "I already feel like I'm a part of things" and she replied "If kids don't leave here feeling loved I haven't done my job." Kim engages with each child and encourages his or her interests. There is also a very positive feel about the place overall. Parents are genuinely happy to have their kids there.
