I sent my three children to Bixby starting in preschool (I now have one graduate and two in the elementary) and they all had a great experience. I loved the way that the preschool focused on teaching them a love for learning and I have seen this develop in them throughout their experience there and beyond. My eighth grader now attends an academically rigorous charter school, and he is at the top of his class. Every child develops at a different pace, and I really love the way that Bixby works with children to teach them how to learn in a way that makes sense to them and that will stick with them throughout their lives.
My husband and I enrolled our son in the Preschool program. At the time, it seemed to be a great fit for us, caring and involved teachers were at hand everyday to welcome our little one. By the time of our sons' last year, we realized that the Preschool program did not introduce enough literacy activities to the children, and talking to other parents, we all realized our children were lagging behind compared to other programs. How could this be? Our children were not challenged or even pushed to trace letters or do number recognition! Very disappointing experience, we paid quite a price tag and the preschool didn't deliver literacy skills...I found myself spending all summer working with my son at home just for him to catch up...and, I am not the only parent to think this. So, we are doing public school now and are happy about it.
I transferred my daughter to Bixby from a public school in second grade. I could not be happier! The staff and teachers at Bixby recognizes and endorses the individual characteristics & personalities of each child. They understand each child learns differently. They work with each child as unique individuals rather than insisting the child adapt to a stereotyped mold. They instill responsibility and respect towards others. My daughter has academically advanced so much in just the one year she has attended Bixby; it's sincerely amazing. Now she 'Loves' to learn! She comes home and voluntarily picks up a book and reads! After school she will reconstruct a science project done earlier in the day - just because it was 'fun'. Parents are highly involved. Bixby offers the same classes as public schools - plus swim class twice a week. Yes, it cost some money - it's the best investment I'll make.
