Each month we got their monthly report with what they did each day &amp; how they were managing emotionally. All the teachers are amazing. Lucy will never forget her time here &amp; keeps saying now that she has finished, &#8220;sure I can go back &amp; visit&#8221; which she no doubt will!

My son enjoys every day and runs into school.\u00a0 Katherine, Lisa, Audrey and the team are wonderful with the children, have taught them so much. Alex&#8217;s skills have come such a long way this year. I have seen how much he has grown and learned. He is so proud when he accomplishes something new that he has learned in school and so proud to show us at home. I get so excited to receive the monthly reports to see exactly what Alex has don<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">e in school as with kids some days all I got told was colouring or cubes. I would highly recommend Kathy B&#8217;s. The best Montessori by far.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>Thank you so much for giving my son the best start to his school years.\u00a0 I really appreciate how hard you work and how much you care.

My son<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">\u00a0has attended for two years full time and has never once complained about attending. The school day at Kathy B\u2019s is well structured and the children learn key skills through a variety of fun and varied methods. Friday was always a firm favourite with my son as he got to bake and bring the cake home to eat. Other highlights for him include Pajama day, Santa\u2019s visit to Kathy b\u2019s at Christmas time and singing his Christmas carols.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>A real highlight for me as a parent was attending during parent partnership week and the school tour to Lullymore where I witnessed firsthand the caring, kind, professional manner in which the staff at Kathy b\u2019s treat the children and also got a chance to see how my own son interacted with his peers.<\/p>\n<p>Monthly reports and newsletters, the facebook page and parent teacher meetings are great for keep parents informed as to what is going on and how your child is getting on at Kathy B\u2019s. I always looked forward to receiving this information or seeing an image of my boy playing or learning happily.<\/p>\n<p>I would not hesitate in recommending Kathy B\u2019s Montessori. Whilst my son will move onto primary school, my daughter will be attending from September on a full time basis too and I have every confidence she will settle and be as happy as her brother at Kathy B\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for all your hard work, I truly appreciate it.

My daughter has attended part-time and then full time and\u00a0 has thrived there, while she has special needs she was not treated differently, she was accommodated but as part of the group like any child. Katherine was amazing getting the supports in place to make this possible and the little girl that wobbled in quietly is not the little lady dancing and singing that we have now and a huge part of that is down to the team in Kathy B&#8217;s. My daughter has made friends, learned to engage with others, and her lovely classmates have been encouraged to interact with her and help her out, honestly I\u2019m not sure they were aware she was so different but they care for her and assist her with lunch.
