What 4K Families Are Saying About Our Program
We started our oldest daughter in the 4K program in 2017. We struggled personally with having her start 4K and be the youngest in her class versus waiting another year to start her. We spoke with the 4K staff and they assured us we should start her and she could always repeat if needed. Well, needless to say, we didn’t need her to repeat 4K. The 4K teachers and staff helped guide and teach her in a way that she succeeded. Overall, we could not be happier with the 4K program that OES provides. The teachers and staff are amazing and have made us feel welcome at all times. They have answered the many questions I have had and calmed any fears with my child starting school. It has been a wonderful experience.
-The Bartz Family
We absolutely love the OES 4K program! Our boys have learned how to ‘do’ school in a fun, safe, engaging, and loving environment! The 4K program truly sets the kids up for both academic and social success! So much growth in so many ways.
-The Mortag Family
The 4K program is such a great way to get your child acclimated to an all-day learning environment. The Northern Ozaukee School District does an amazing job from the start, leaving parents well informed of what the year ahead will look like at the orientation. Not only does our daughter learn a lot, but she has so much fun while at school. Daily, she’s excited to show and tell us all about the projects she has worked on.
