We had Mari's conference with her preschool teacher today. First off, let's just say that Mari is doing a fabulous job and has come such a long way in so many areas. Still has some issues to work through, but she's on the right road. And she is on the right road, in no small part, thanks to her preschool teachers.
So let's get it out in the open. Any of you reading this in the Anderson Township area, or anywhere on the east side of Cincinnati, who are shopping for a preschool...
Bella Bee Academy
There. I just made your job a lot easier. In fact, you're done.
Because you may be able to find a place in a nicer building, or a place with a big famous recognizable name...but you flat out will NOT find any other preschool with teachers who care as much about their students and who are willing to go the extra mile to help them become who they need to be.
Mari is a better human being thanks to the amount of belief her teacher has in her as a person, and I do not exaggerate when I say that she has inspired me to be a better parent to her and to view her in a new light.
Mari is an amazingly unique and special child and her teacher recognizes that in a real and urgent way that I never realized. Just listening to her talk about what she thinks of Mari made me want to run home and hug her. And I am sure that they feel that strongly about every child in there.
So listen. Bella Bee may not look like much. But there is some incredibly special stuff going on inside that place. You owe it to yourself and your kid to check it out. You won't regret it.
