Some of our past parents have some pretty amazing things to say about the time they spent at NDPPP.

Rachel says "A great chance to get involed in my first son's first preschool. As a newcomer to Canada, it's a wonderful place to learn about how the school works and get to know the parents in the same community. It is not only a preschool for my son, but also for myself. Both me and my son really really appreciate and enjoy the study at NDPPP.
NDPPP, what a nice place to learn! Great teachers! Great Parents!!!!!"

"As a teacher, I know how difficult it can be to be involved in your child's education. NDPPP has allowed us to start off our children's earliest school memories alongside them. We will always be grateful for the opportunity NDPPP has offered us to share the joy of learning with all 3 of our children." Tamara

Tanya said "NDPPP was amazing for me, my son is very shy and had HUGE seperation anxiety but knowing I could be with him to help through his issues in the begining and then knowing when I wasn't there he had other parents to feel comfortable with and learn from made me really enjoy his preschool year. Not to mention Sue, who is the most amazing teacher who makes everyone feel so warm and fuzzy and good about being at the school."
