Maizie didn’t miss her mom on the first day. Her mom says it was the best possible sign.
Meet Ivybrook Academy Frisco parents Hailey and Alex Nelon.
When they enrolled Maizie at Ivybrook Frisco, they knew she was ready to be somewhere. She was craving interaction and connection. What they didn’t expect was how fast she’d make it her own.
“The first day she came running out, she was like, ‘I love school. School’s my favorite place to be.’”
Although a little sad that Maizie didn’t miss her, Hailey was relieved, because her daughter had found a place that was both comfortable and exciting.
At home, they started noticing things. Maizie talking about Ms. Agustina. About Ms. Angie and Ms. Val. About the zebra she made in crafts.
And then — the part that stood out most was the skills transferring. Things Maizie figured out at home that nobody had taught her there. New ideas she was trying.
“You can see her little synapses firing when she figures stuff out at home.”
That’s what it looks like when a preschool is doing its job.
