Parent Testimonials: Clayton Valley Parent Preschool
Teacher DeeDee and the families at Clayton Valley Parent Preschool are a godsend. My husband and I had our doubts about a play-based co-op because we didn't understand why we needed to fork out money to have our daughter play for a few hours a day when she could do it for free at home, right? Well, our naivete proved us wrong and teacher DeeDee helped us understand through emails, work shift, and meetings why play is so important in a child's development. DeeDee is so welcoming, understanding, patient, and easy to approach from both a parent and child's perspective. She's loved and adored by many and I am so grateful to have her in my family's life.

Our family spent 5 years at CVPP, best decision we could have made! As a parent, I grew just as much as my children did being a part of this "family" known as CVPP!
-Bonnie Schreiner
When we first went to visit CVPP in 2011 we knew right away that this was the school for my kids. Didn't even look anywhere else. We have never felt so welcome and part of a family as we do here! My first child completed 3 wonderful years at CVPP, and my second will do the same. It has been a perfect learning and growing environment for my kids; learning social skills, how to use their voice, how to resolve conflict, following instructions, all those necessary skills it takes to be prepared for Kindergarten. Teacher Dee Dee is amazing at identifying and feeding the children what they are craving to learn as individuals and as a group. And I must mention that the parent education throughout this process has been outstanding! Being in a co-op and working in the classroom is very rewarding and very educational for the parents too, not just the child. It is the best fit for my whole family!!! -Rebecca and Jason Gray
CVPP is a great school and Teacher DeeDee is the best! Our daughter was so shy when she began preschool last year but under Miss DeeDee's care she has blossomed so much. We can not wait to see all the changes and growth that this year's pre-K class will bring under Miss DeeDee's loving hands and nurturing guidance. Thank you teacher DeeDee and CVPP for enriching our lives so much.

"We are so glad to have found CVPP. My son blossomed during his 2 years there. I've made amazing friendships and am confident these people will be life long friends. I cannot wait to go back with my 2nd son. We love you Teacher Dee Dee!!"
-Lauren S.
Our family is in our 7th year at Clayton Valley Parent Preschool and we can't be any happier with our CVPP experiences. All three of our children have grown and thrived under the care of our remarkable director Teacher Dee Dee.
Teacher Dee Dee is what I call "magical" with the preschool aged child. She is educated (and continually educates herself), confident, an expert of this childhood stage of development, a complete natural, and an amazing teacher and example for us parents as well.
I can honestly say I am a better parent to my children because of CVPP. The wonderful examples of teacher Dee Dee and the other parents have been so helpful to my parenting.
I've also enjoyed being involved in a preschool co-op because you form strong bonds with the other parents as well as with all of the children.
CVPP and Dee Dee will forever be in our hearts!!

We have been a part of the Clayton Valley Parent Preschool family for four years now, time really does fly by when you are having fun! My family has so much respect for our beloved Teacher Dee Dee, we can't imagine our lives without her guidance and wisdom! We have loved watching our children grow under her loving care!
It has been a joy to watch both of my children flourish at CVPP! They have learned so much about themselves and others during the play based program. Teacher Dee Dee has created a warm and safe environment for our children to grow and learn! At CVPP it's all about the kids and their experience!
When we joined CVPP I assumed that my children would be the ones that received all the joy, education, friendships and community. I couldn't have been more wrong, I have made friendships that will last a life time! The community that comes with CVPP is amazing! During my time here I have seen our community come together to support our families, mine included!
I'm so grateful to CVPP and Teacher Dee Dee and very happy to be a part of this awesome family!
