"We just wanted to say thank you for creating such a wonderful enriching school. It has made such a difference for Michael and for me too. I go to work knowing he's in a stimulating loving environment-better than I could provide at home. So it makes the daily juggle of 3 kids more worthwhile. Thanks!"

"Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this school!
You and your staff have provided the ultimate learning experience for these children!
What a gift!!!

This whole family has grown as a result of the MELC experience. We've learned so much and there's so much more to learn. But we're on the right path and for that we can never thank you enough.

Thank you for everything, especially the peace of mind that comes with knowing your children are in the best hands possible!"

"You have provided our children with the desire and tools to learn. Probably more importantly you've helped them develop values during the most impressionable years of their life. Thank God there are teachers who care as much as you."

"Bobby and I want to thank you and all of your staff for the wonderful care and education you've given Alex for the past three years. He is growing up to be such a fine young man and I know a lot of it is due to the care and attention you and your staff have given him.

He loves school and all of his teachers and friends.

Learning is such fun for Alex and I know that's because of the atmosphere you have created in your school. It is an atmosphere of discipline, fun and the love and respect of each other. I feel he will always reflect those attitudes because of the good foundations you have laid."

"Dear MELC Parent Club Members,
Morgan and I both have thoroughly enjoyed the last two years at MELC. All the teachers and staff were wonderful, but the caring interest and involvement of the parents, was especially nice. I will miss the meetings, beach trips, parties and outings. Morgan will be returning for Christmas vacation, Spring break and the 1994 Summer session, so I would like to pay the Parent Club membership fee to help out with the planned activities. Feel free to call on me if you need some help and in turn I hope you will keep me abreast of what the club is doing."

"I would like to thank you for the superior education that you instilled in my daughter, Amber. Because of this training, Amber was accepted at the best girls’ school in Karachi. My wife had to teacher her Urdu and the Urdu alphabet and she was given a probationary status, but after three months they adored her. They could not believe that an only American child could be so cooperative, well mannered and pleasant. She was one of the best behaved children in the class because of your training and her respect for you and the guidance you gave her. Both my wife, Anjum, and I thank you."

"Greetings from the far North! We are still digging out from under the so-called "Blizzard of ’93.’
Anna is doing well now after a very rocky start. W had to choose a school up here in a hurry and it turned out that we made the wrong choice. It was a Montessori school in name only and truly a spirit-killing place. The good news is that we finally got Anna out of there and into an AMI-accredited Montessori school three weeks ago, and she took to the new school immediately. The difference in her demeanor is night and day. Your school is a tough act to follow, but we are pleased so far. Kathy and I can’t express strongly enough how blessed we feel to have been a part of your school, even for a brief period. We wish you all well."

"Jan and I are amazed a how much Jan Michaels response to his new environment is positive. Positive so very soon, I might add. Apparently the chaos at his past school was stressful to him as he never cries before school nor hangs on to me as I leave him in the a.m. I believe that this new environment is treating him with respect, ‘big guy’ mentality, and he is responding with "I’m a big guy" pride. We’re very happy with you as his reaction is a happy one to his new school."
