Celebrating

One family recently celebrated their fifth child graduating from Forty Carrots' Preschool. They share, "Boy, was that ever hard to walk out those doors after graduation.  You have been a part of our family for so long now, and we will really miss coming to Forty Carrots.  Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our childrens' lives for so long. You have definitely provided them with roots and wings.  Our son has such a great foundation for kindergarten, and the girls have absolutely soared since they have graduated Forty Carrots.  They all are straight A students and happy, well-adjusted kids who have achieved so much!  Thanks again!"

2008 - Matthew and Taber, each won the "Spirit of ODA" award which recognizes students who daily reflect in both action and deed their school's core values. The boys were classmates in 2005 graduating class of The Preschool at Forty Carrots. Their parents reflected on their win by commenting...

"Matthew has always been especially compassionate & empathetic and part of the reason it still holds so true is one of the great things about Forty Carrots--it always recognizes, nurtures and celebrates what makes your child unique and special."

"For Taber and our family, Forty Carrots built the foundation in learning, listening, respect for others, playing, being responsible for your own actions, and caring about other people and the environment. And yes, Mom and Dad helped, but we learned that from Forty Carrots too .... how important it is, at an early age, to teach your children....these things and many more."
