P&T provided me with a community of parents that shared my values and goals for my child. It taught me how to create a home-life that nurtured my child and myself. It taught me the importance of healthy play and how to foster it. Now my son is in the third grade at our school and I continue to learn and develop right alongside him. I have a school family that supports and stimulates my growth as a person as well as my son’s. I find the curriculum intellectually engaging and the methodology continues to push my assumptions about convention. My son’s comprehension of literature and his vocabulary are astounding, recently tested to be at the eighth-grade level. The school’s commitment to social health creates a cooperative and loving environment that goes beyond the classroom to play-dates and sleepovers. I have never seen boys treat each other with the level of kindness and care that these boys do when they get together outside of school.
