Dear Mr. Nisreen, Both Rachel and I greatly appreciate the care and education that Joel received at Montessori, and we were very sad when the time came for Joel to move on to first grade. For working parents, as much as we would like to devote more time to our children, this is not always possible. In this respect we are indebted to you, your staff and the Montessori teaching system for taking such good care of Joel and preparing him so well for the beginning of elementary school. Joel is a very shy child but he always felt welcome and comfortable at your school, not only getting along well with the staff but also making very good friends. Joel began first grade two days ago. He is doing well academically, he is well-adjusted emotionally and he is happy to learn , which makes Rachel and I so happy. Both Rachel and I feel that, as parents, we worked together with your school during Joel's time there and we want to give credit where credit is due. Whenever Rachel or I advised you or your staff of any specific needs/circumstances on any given day or week, not one person ever hesitated to do whatever was possible for our son. We know firsthand that this is not the case with every school, which is why we were so grateful to have found you. Thank you for everything. Rachel, Joel and I wish you all the best. Douglas and Rachel Park
