Recently I had the opportunity to visit Valley View School and take a peek at the ECEAP program.

What an impressive endeavor that is!

Upon entering the classroom, I observed several little ones, obviously from different cultural backgrounds, intensely pursuing various activities from computer learning to cutting out letters.

How amazing that the two teachers could manage all those little minds whose mother tongues were not English for the most part!

The children behaved so well, and seemed so delighted to be learning new concepts.

After my short visit, I was convinced that this early learning program can create a successful start for children of all backgrounds. I had never been in a preschool before this visit.

My compliments to all the teachers, assistants, and the director of Valley View.
