At the Caribou Community School, parents feel that their children's special connections with teachers make all the difference in creating a safe, caring and loving environment!
Hear more from one parent, Rachel Bourgeois, about her son's transformational educators:
Miss Tina in Pre-K made his first experience at school such a wonderful and positive one! She helped support me so much as a mom as well! She always sent pictures and videos so I could see all of the fun learning my son was doing during the day. Her positive, encouraging spirit is exactly what my son and I both needed from his Pre-K school year.
In kindergarten, he had another amazing teacher, Miss West! She has a magical way of making learning so much fun! All of her students adore her for her kind, fun-loving personality and her patient, caring, thoughtful nature. My son is a perfectionist, and at the beginning of the year, he wouldn’t even try to draw for fear of making a mistake. Miss West was his greatest cheerleader and supporter, and she soon worked her magic and had him drawing all kinds of things without fear of messing up—all while simultaneously taking the best care of the other 19 students in the classroom. She is truly remarkable!
Now in first grade, my son has been blessed with Mr. Collins. If you’d like to see patience and kindness personified, look no further than Mr. Collins. My son tells us often that the reason he wants to go to school is to spend time with Mr. Collins. I am forever thankful that my son has such an amazing teacher to look up to as a role model. I cannot say enough about these wonderful educators, and I’ll be forever thankful for them and how they loved my son through his early years in school. They have created such a beautiful foundation for his education.
