Testimonials
I’m truly amazed by how my daughter comes home every day saying brand new words she learned at school, and how she’s become a better sharer. You instill so much in them.
Our child has grown from one group to the next, but always gets a heartwarming hello from previous teachers. The connections are strong, he truly belongs. We appreciate your daily interactions and continuous caring.
Our daughter loves her teachers so much she asks to come to Mascia every weekend. She loves everything about Mascia, but especially her 3 teachers, and is always excited to show off her new hair braids when she gets home everyday.
Thank you for making learning fun!
Thanks for reading books every day and exposing our kids to music and art… they learn so much with you every day.
Thank you for loving our children like they are your own. We are eternally grateful.
Thank you for having a smile for every child when you buzz them in, and a warm goodbye when they leave for the day.
You make Mascia such a warm and friendly place for our children to learn. Our kids love school because they love YOU!
The teachers and staff at Mascia are my heroes.
