What do you
like about Curzon?
Here is
what some of our parents & kids have to say about Curzon:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Curzon
offers a tremendous range of fun and learning-oriented activities in a
nurturing environment, with fantastic teachers and motivated and
welcoming families.”
Ian: "I
love my teachers."
- Brett
Thombs and Norma Vite, and son Ian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The
warmth, enthusiasm, sincerity and individuality that all three
teachers bring to the Curzon environment; the one-on-one contact and
the gems, the wonderful attributes that they find in each
child
- especially my own! Pat said the other day that Trevor is a lover and
he is – he is my most sensitive and affectionate child. The comfort and
confidence with which each of my children has walked into Curzon is a
testament to the welcoming and friendly environment. Another aspect I
would have to highlight is the feeling of community…everyone
participates and the end result is beneficial to all…especially the
children!”
Trevor:
“Show and tell, my teachers, playing with my friends and bunny circle.”
- Blythe and
Glynn Ennis, and son Trevor

“Curzon has
provided a warm and caring place where my two daughters
have been able to grow as individuals. They absolutely love all three
of the teachers and each teacher has brought something different to my
daughters. In the transition between the comfortable, safe time at home
and the big world of kindergarten, there is no better place than
Curzon.”
Chloe:
“Being a duty kid…definitely being a duty kid. I want to go back to
Curzon on all my Ped days. Can you ask Patty if that’s okay?”
Cassidy: “I
like playing with all the dolls and toys at school ... there’s lots of
different things to do each day.”
- Carl Comeau
and Carolyn Wells, and daughters Chloe and Cassidy

“It teaches
the children how to live with others in the absence of their parents
... it was a great
introduction
to society. Kudos to the teachers ... they are polite, they teach
respect, they know when to be kind and they know when to be strict and
at the same time they gave us insights on how to act with our children.
(As a mother, I learned a lot about bringing up my child looking at
them.) Working with Pat, Lee-Ann and Nathalie is like being part of a
relay race ... we share the same objective and they represent us well.
The love that our child (Ninon) demonstrated for her teachers is a
measure of their success.”
“Show and
tell was Ninon's favorite part of Curzon at large. Duty days
were good but being in front and having everyone's attention was the
cherry on top of the sundae. If it is any sign: she still does it this
year in Kindergarten where she can bring in an object and present it.”
- Nathalie
Jodoin and Phillipe Cholette, and daughter Ninon

“We believe
that this is a special place where children learn the
important values that will stay with them forever- namely respect for
others, love of the earth, helping and sharing.”
Audrey: “ I
like making things at Curzon, and I like swimming and skating!”
- Anne Drost
and Jacques Benard, and daughter Audrey

“I
like the positive atmosphere generated by the teachers' excellence,
experience and assurance in the face of any challenge, mostly. My son
mostly likes the play and sense of camaraderie with the other children,
and the creative and fun activities, and he is very fond of all of the
teachers as well. It's hard to name just one thing! I am so
enthusiastic about this school you can give my number to any
prospective parents who want to hear it from me!”
- Christian
Colby and Peter Kelly, and son Seamus

“This
is hard to answer since I like so much about Curzon. But if forced to
narrow it down I would say the incredible teachers: Pat, Lee-Ann and
Nathalie are extraordinary. They provide such a loving, supportive,
secure and creative atmosphere, no wonder the children thrive. Laura
loves her teachers, her friends, the crafts, gym and all the special
activities (e.g., skating, field trips, parties).”
- Carol
Fiedler and Claude Therien, and daughter Laura

“It’s easy
to say what we love most about Curzon…the teachers!”
- Vonda
Peach and Andreas Garin, and son Juan Carlos

“What
I liked the most was the nurturing environment where kids feel accepted
as they are, where differences (if they interfere with other children)
are dealt with constructively and lovingly. In other words, the
teachers make every kid feel good about what they can do and
contribute. I also really liked all the artwork the children get to do,
and gym.”
“Clara
loved her teachers and how special they made her feel. It helped boost
her confidence and I had
no
concerns that she was more than ready to enter kindergarten after her
two years at Curzon. She had good writing skills already and great
curiosity about learning more about math, science and the environment.”
- Valerie
Buchanan and David Stewart, and daughter Clara

“The new
friends I've made because it helps to speak with the teachers
and other parents about the actions or activities that other kids are
experiencing .These ideas and advice help enrich the life of my child
and also our family life in the community as we share things in common.”
“The
new friends Logan has made, the new challenges that are set before him
(skating, painting ,writing his name)..his new confidence shows me how
proud he is of his accomplishments.”
- Theresa
Skoda and Michael Donato, and son Logan

“What makes
Curzon special from a teachers' perspective is the feeling
of community that we share with the families, the sense that the
parents are also your colleagues. This is what makes the Curzon Co-op
experience unique. (Among countless other kindnesses that the parent
contingent share with the teachers each day).”
- Lee-Ann,
Former Teacher
