Excellent experience
Excellent experience at this school. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Will be recommending.
I cannot speak highly enough
I cannot speak highly enough of Caughlin, the staff, the environment, and the educational program. There is nothing better than peace of mind that my children are happy, being well taken care of, loved, and guided with respect during the day while I am at work. Thank you.
As the mom of a 4 year
As the mom of a 4 year old and a 2 year old, I cannot speak highly enough of Caughlin Preschool. I worked at a Child Development Center for several years during college and when I had my first child and needed to find a caring and nurturing environment for her, I did so...me very thorough research, interviews and tours of popular schools in the Reno area. Choosing a pre-school is a very personal choice. What I personally liked the most about Caughlin Preschool when I first visited was the staff (Myra was my first contact). The staff is happy, they genuinely love children, they like each other (rare in any workplace!), they are intelligent, responsible and they communicate with respect to the children and parents. On top of it all, Caughlin is clean, my children are actually learning their letters, numbers, science, computers, etc., the other kids are friendly and, most importantly, my children come home happy.
We always recommend
We always recommend Caughlin Preschool to our friends looking for a high-quality, friendly, preschool that provides an atmosphere of discovery and creativity.
Caughlin Preschool
Caughlin Preschool offers a warm and nurturing environment, the curriculum is enriching and most importantly the teachers are OUTSTANDING!
Awsome care and guidance.
I can't imagine in my wildest dreams how anyone could say anything mean about Joanne or Caughlin Preschool. We had our little girl at Goddard school and due to an injury she had at 6 months old she was not able to speak so they became frustrated with her and told us to ...take her somewhere else. Caughlin was full when we first tried to take her there, they were close to home and I had heard rave reviews from several friends so we kept trying. Finally sweet Myra with the spirit of an angle found a place for her. I swear that day the angels were singing because it has changed our lives forever. They have nurtured our child so much that she not only started talking but she is ahead of her class in everything. At 5 years old she is speaking perfectly and knows everything her older brother does in second grade. We have decided to keep her at Caughlin for kindergarden because we love everything about Caughlin and every teacher there is so supportive.
