I cannot speak highly enough of Caughlin, the staff, the environment, and the educational program. There is nothing better than peace of mind that my children are happy, being well taken care of, loved, and guided with respect during the day while I am at work. Thank you.

As the mom of a 4 year old and a 2 year old, I cannot speak highly enough of Caughlin Preschool. I worked at a Child Development Center for several years during college and when I had my first child and needed to find a caring and nurturing environment for her, I did some very thorough research, interviews and tours of popular schools in the Reno area. Choosing a pre-school is a very personal choice. What I personally liked the most about Caughlin Preschool when I first visited was the staff (Myra was my first contact). The staff is happy, they genuinely love children, they like each other (rare in any workplace!), they are intelligent, responsible and they communicate with respect to the children and parents. On top of it all, Caughlin is clean, my children are actually learning their letters, numbers, science, computers, etc., the other kids are friendly and, most importantly, my children come home happy.

I can't imagine in my wildest dreams how anyone could say anything mean about Joanne or Caughlin Preschool. We had our little girl at Goddard school and due to an injury she had at 6 months old she was not able to speak so they became frustrated with her and told us to take her somewhere else. Caughlin was full when we first tried to take her there, they were close to home and I had heard rave reviews from several friends so we kept trying. Finally sweet Myra with the spirit of an angle found a place for her. I swear that day the angels were singing because it has changed our lives forever. They have nurtured our child so much that she not only started talking but she is ahead of her class in everything. At 5 years old she is speaking perfectly and knows everything her older brother does in second grade. We have decided to keep her at Caughlin for kindergarden because we love everything about Caughlin and every teacher there is so supportive. We transferred our boy from Goddard to Caughlin for the wonderful summer camp they offer and kept him there for the school program. He loves Caughlin so much he talked his best friend into changing to Caughlin too. I feel certain that the reason Caughlin is so awsome is due to Joanne's care and guidance. She treats my entire family with so much love and respect. The teachers there make us feel like family and they give us peace in our hearts everyday we drop our children off with them.

The school has an outstanding literacy program. The students leave the pre-1st class reading well above grade level. The teachers are well qualified and dedicated.

We have loved having our children attend Caughlin Preschool. The preschool and kindergarten program is outstanding. Our daughter is reading one year beyond her grade level and is far beyond where our son was at the same age (he attended public school kindergarten). I highly recommend the program. The school is clean, bright, and secure. The staff treats you like a friend instead of a customer. My only complaint. . . they don't have first grade!

We had so many positive experiences at Caughlin Preschool. As a school teacher myself, I have been very impressed with their curriculum/literacy program and classroom management. I tell everyone I know about Caughlin Preschool and what a fun and educational time both of my children are having here.

Our time at Coughlin has been great! My daughter was comfortable very quickly which was really appreciated. We really liked the structure of the classroom and the open door policy for my daughter to discuss any concerns. Thanks for everything!

Five stars to Caughlin Preschool... We would give them a 10 if it was an option! All three of our children attended Caughlin Preschool, with our youngest just graduating from Mrs. Mandy's phenomenal pre-first class. Our children were always well cared for, entertained and educated. What a comfort it was to know that whatever was going on at home or work, our children were in such a safe, loving, learning environment.

The teachers are great, they really have a passion & a gift for teaching kids. They really recognize what works best for each individual child. My son had a slight speech delay that I was concerned about when I enrolled him at Caughlin Preschool but after just a few months not only was he caught up with his speech but he now has surpassed any expectations that I could have hoped for including counting, writing, & numerous other things. My son doesn't leave without making sure to give her a hug at the end of each day. I have nothing but wonderful things to say & everyone that I have ever met who knows the teachers, all feel the same way I do. Thank you so much for all that you all do !!!

Excellent ways of teaching children. My boy left here to kinder garden truly prepared. He was able to develop great social skills. He used to fight too much in the beginning and with time he learned to become more friendly and outgoing. He can also read very good for his age.
