Parker-Chase Sprayberry Teachers’ Commitment and Passion Helps Child Overcome Obstacles

We recently received a heartwarming testimonial from the Mitchell family in Marietta, Georgia, about their four-year-old son Finn’s success. It perfectly captures the essence of what makes our Parker-Chase Preschool team so special.

Finn’s family had been disappointed by other early childhood programs where Finn found it difficult to settle into the learning community.  His family was worried that he might not thrive in a classroom with more than a few children. After talking to the staff at Parker-Chase Preschool’s Sprayberry campus, the Mitchells decided to give it one more try. And, it’s a great thing they did because now Finn is thriving!

“From the minute we walked into Parker-Chase, [Curriculum Coordinator] Carolyn made us feel that we had nothing to worry about and that you all would be able to support Finn with whatever he needed,” said Patrick and Jenny Mitchell, Finn’s parents.

The Mitchells commended teachers Assistant School Leader Kristen and Assistant Teacher Natalie, as well as the entire staff, for helping Finn adjust, make friends, and develop a love for learning.

“We are blessed beyond measure to have found Parker Chase and to have had Kristen and Natalie as teachers,” they said, adding: “Over the past nine months, we have witnessed Finn absolutely thriving and growing into a completely different child. He has zero problems in a large classroom, participates without a second thought, and truly loves coming to school to see his friends and teachers.”

Congratulations to all of the Parker-Chase Sprayberry staff for improving a child’s life and helping to bring happiness to his family. This is the kind of passion and commitment that drives all Endeavor Schools.

I just wanted to take a minute to send a note of appreciation for the teachers in Finn’s room.  

I have to say that between both of our boys, we have been through 5 different daycares and I have rarely experienced the care, dedication and support like we have with Kristen and Natalie.  Most recently, Finn was having a really hard time in a classroom of another daycare and that ultimately led us to leave and come to Parker Chase.  In that other facility, we were told Finn was not capable of being in a room with more than 6 children, that he needed behavioural therapy and that they could no longer support his needs.  

From the minute we walked into Parker Chase, Carolyn made us feel that we had nothing to worry about and that you all would be able to support Finn with whatever he needed.  Over the past 9 months, we have witnessed Finn absolutely thriving and growing into a completely different child.  He has zero problems in a large classroom, participates without a second thought and truly LOVES coming to school to see his friends and teachers.  

Kristen and Natalie (as well as you and the entire staff) have done absolutely everything to support Finn through transitions and helped him to acclimate and grow.  They have truly gone above and beyond to support and love Finn.  We are blessed beyond measure to have found Parker Chase and to have had Kristen and Natalie as teachers.  

Thank you for everything you ALL do every day to nurture and care for all these children.  I have no doubts that Finn is going to continue to thrive in Pre K and on into Kindergarten because of the love and support he has received at Parker Chase.  

We cannot thank you enough, 

Patrick and Jenny Mitchell
