Testimonials from Echo Falls Families and Alumni
"I was just talking to both of my children today during breakfast who are in K and 3rd grade, both wish they could be back with Jennifer and the wonderful staff at Echo Falls. My children are kind and compassionate, responsible citizens of their world--in short people that I would want to know if they were not my kids, as a result of their time at Echo Falls. They both entered elementary school able to read and write. They had great math skills and were ready socially for school routines, but more importantly, they learned to love learning. I believe they will be life long learners as a result of their time there, and I enthusiastically recommend Echo Falls Pre-School to anyone looking for a whole- learning experience for their child." |
"We sent all three of our daughters to Echo Falls Preschool, and spent a total of seven years involved in the school. First and foremost, we chose Echo Falls because the teachers are truly excellent. They are experienced, loving, playful, and very thoughtful about how they interact with and teach the kids. I learned a lot over the years from watching them with my children and others. The curriculum expertly balances play and plenty of Kindergarten readiness skills. Music, love of nature and animals, art, books, social/emotional growth and healthy eating are also emphasized. I give Echo Falls my highest recommendation. It gave our daughters the best first school experience I can imagine." |
"ECHO FALLS is the place to be
when you're in preschool it's plain to see.
From cozy spots, fun things to explore,
the loft, the playground and so much more.
Animals, legos, paints and glue,
rescue heroes, dramatic play and a fun gym, too!
From choosing jobs and making snacks,
kids grow and flourish, there's no turning back.
Echo Falls, a place to grow,
a place of warmth, where children know
they are important, respected and loved
they feel special just because....
they are valued and their voices are heard,
they play, they sing and use friendly words.
Best of all are the teachers, there to teach them,
with compassion, kindness and respect that can reach them.
A kind word, a listening ear,
a gentle touch or a lap that is near.
There is so much more to it, we can't describe,
When you walk in, you'll feel the vibe.
You'll know you've arrived at a special place,
you see it written on every little face.
Echo Falls is the place to be
when you're in preschool it's plain to see! "

"What makes ECHO FALLS PRESCHOOL a great place to grow and learn is it's people! From its director, Jennifer, and the teachers,
who work as a real "team" (as the kids would say, "TEAM WORK!!") and who know each child as if they were their own, to the children
and their families. Everyone brings something special to the group, and we love to see young ones playing with the 'big kids' as if they were all part of a family...At Echo Falls, they learn to follow the rules, to help and respect each other, as well as to respect and take care of our environment and planet. So, what are we going to do with all those recycled containers?? Well, Echo Falls children know they have to take the world in their hands to make it a better place, and they will help us grown-ups to remember all the rules for a healthier and environmentally responsible life!" Love, Solange and Camilo (and our 3 boys!)

"Hi, Jennifer-- We are really going to miss you, Libby, Lana, and all of the amazing other teachers at Echo Falls. I was just looking at the story book for Kate, and marveling at how amazing a job you have done with our children over the past six years. I am really sad that we don't have another little one to come to Echo Falls next year!! We will miss you all very much. I feel like we're part of a family."
Much love, Rebecca M.
"Jen, Thank you for being a great teacher and a big influence in our lives these last six years! Clara and Kate have a great foundation
for school and for the rest of their lives, thanks to you!" ~Steve M.

"How can we ever thank you enough for the love and care you have given our children and our family. You all bring such special qualities to Echo Falls and make it what it is...a truly magical place! We loved that you taught about worms and compost, healthy eating, how to find calm in chaos (peace corner, deep breaths), how to make a friend and on and on... You guys all work so well together and bring your own unique skills into the job! THANK YOU a million times over! You have forever touched our lives!" ~~The Goldbloom Bloch family

"We have been here for 4 years in a row; we learned about earth, planets, rainforest, healthy snacks, recycling, indoor and outdoor shoes.
We enjoyed sing-a-longs, kids' night outs, breakfast and lots of chats; we have grown to be part of a great community, and even though our time to go has come, we feel we will always be connected to this great school and teachers! Thanks for all your work and love given to our kids and family!"~~ The Garcia Lavanchys
