"We’ve had such a wonderful experience at JFM, and I truly cannot say enough good things about Ms. Erin and her Grasshopper classroom. She runs a very structured, organized class that gives the kids a safe, consistent environment to learn and grow. You can tell she puts her heart into what she does—she’s reliable, patient, and an incredible communicator. One of the things I appreciate most is the balance she creates between fun and learning. The kids get plenty of outdoor time and hands-on indoor activities, which keeps them engaged and active. I especially love the “stations” in her classroom—she only opens a couple at a time and rotates them throughout the day. It keeps the children focused, encourages independent play, and helps eliminate the chaos you sometimes see in preschool rooms. On top of the everyday structure, Ms. Erin goes above and beyond with enriching activities. The kids do all kinds of arts and crafts, creative projects, and science experiments that spark curiosity. There are picnics in the park, themed activity days, water days, and even Bicycle Ride Tuesdays—things my daughter looks forward to all week. These experiences make learning exciting and give the kids such a wide range of skills and memories. They also make transitions to and from 4K incredibly easy. If your child attends Sun Prairie Nursery School just around the corner, the teachers walk them to and from class in a small group. My daughter was part of a group of 5–6 kids who walked together every day—it was safe, quick (just a 1–2 minute walk), and such a nice way for them to have a little extra social time with friends. We’ve also had the pleasure of getting to know Ms. Missy, and she is absolutely wonderful as well. She’s warm, approachable, and clearly loves the kids, creating such a welcoming and positive atmosphere. Having both Ms. Erin and Ms. Missy in my daughter’s life has been such a gift. The biggest compliment I can give is that my daughter absolutely loves going to school. Even when we were away on vacation for a week, she said she missed Ms. Erin! That says everything about the kind of connection these teachers build with their students. I only wish we had found them sooner—Ms. Erin and Ms. Missy are gems, and the Grasshopper classroom is such a special place. If you’re looking for teachers who truly care, set kids up for success, and make learning fun, you couldn’t ask for better."
