Word from a Parent:
“It has been more than two years since Yu Hongyi first came to Meadowland. We have witnessed his growth and progress. Through Montessori, he learned how to take care of himself and his surroundings. Through Virtues class, he learned how to help others, share with others, and take on more responsibility. Through Chinese class, he learned a lot about Chinese culture and history. He also benefits a lot from the green settings of Meadowland. We appreciate all teachers at Meadowland for what they have done and wish Meadowland the best in the future.”
– Yu Shuisheng and Cai Xiujing (China), parents of Yu Hongyi (age 4)
