    “Delphi Preschool is a wonderful place to send my son because it is such a safe, caring environment. I appreciate the enthusiasm my son’s teacher has for her job and her love for all the children. Often at the end of the day when I ask my son about his favorite thing that day, he talks about how great the teachers are. Because of his positive experience with the preschool, his education is off to a great start, and he has an enthusiastic attitude about going to school. Thank you to everyone in the preschool!” L.C.
