Dear Mr. Manooch:

This letter is to express our gratitude for everything you have done for our daughter. I noticed that after she visited your school for two hours, she began answering "Yes, Mom" and "Yes, Dad." Her previous response had been "Yeah" and "No!" After she spent one day in your school, we noticed further improvement in her manners.

Prior to enrolling our daughter in North Garland Montessori School, my husband and I visited another school. The difference was like day and night. The harmony of the environment that you provide bespeaks of a peaceful serenity one seldom encounters. The ambiance the other school maintained lacked in these qualities.

When I made an appointment to visit your school, you asked for my daughter's name and asked me to bring her to the appointment. The other school did not even ask me my name or my daughter's name. Meeting her was not even a fleeting thought; they were simply not interested in her.

In our evaluation, the schools we interviewed were more interested in the money than in the children. You care about the children and not the money. You truly love and care about the children at North Garland Montessori School. No one has ever expressed a concern about our daughter's weight, you did and I know you are sincere. You inquired about her food intake, the types of foods she eats, the type of oil I use in cooking, etc. I believe that our daughter will return to a proper weight at your school by being active in the playground, garden and petting zoo. Thank you again for your concern.

We greatly appreciate the wonderful work you and your staff are doing and the exceptional school that you have created. But most of all, thank you for providing a loving environment where our daughter will learn to be a well balanced, educated individual with proper manners.

Best regards,

Frank and Patricia P.
