I am impressed how much her language skill has improved. Student drop off / pick up are done in organized manner. Highly recommended. Fei W. 7 Oct 2018 We ask our son from time to time: how he feels and how is this new school compared to his old one. He always says he likes Challenger more.We moved our son to Challenger Ardenwood from another daycare. Our son is among the younger boys in his class. We were worried about how he would join an entirely new class. His first week was a bit rough, and the teachers were very caring. We can see him learning alphabet, math, and music. He is delighted and enjoys being in school with his new friends and teachers. The teachers and director are fantastic and full of energy. I can feel that energy every time I drop my son off in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon. There are parent workshops that teachers show the parents how the learning is conducted at the school and give pointers on how to work with the 4-year-olds. Mel W. 1 Oct 2018 We send our 2 kids to Challenger - Ardenwood. For our 7th year here, we have consistently seen a very high quality of education offered by ALL the staff: 1) the teachers make the subjects fun; they teach a well thought-out curriculum to always make the children think; 2) a team of very helpful, courteous & understanding office staff / headmaster / directors to answer your question and concerns; 3) the environment is always well maintained and clean. I know it takes a lot of behind-the-scene hard work day-in and day-out to run this school so well. I truly appreciate all the staff for providing such a high educational value to my children. M K. 18 Sep 2018 We LOVE the school! Our kids have gone to like 5 different pre-schools (since we were moving between states a lot) before we moved them to Challenger, Ardenwood last summer.Started my older kid in KG and my younger one in the pre-school 3 year program. Their program is very structured, the teachers and directors are very warm and kids learn and get super talkative. You can clearly see the progress of kids in 3-6 months. They are not only academic focused and do have times assigned for music, arts, sports etc. I was so impressed seeing their Spring and Christmas performances, looking at very young kids sing and perform for like 30 mins non stop in front of all parents is pretty cool. I have checked out other Challenger campuses including the ones in Austin, TX and Newark, CA. However this is by far our favorite campus. It is very huge and lots of space for kids to play and explore. They also have several after school programs like chess, mad science, basketball etc. that your kid could be signed up.Also, the teachers are very accessible. You could talk to them everyday or on a need basis. They will give you a fair update on your child and areas you could help them at home. Gargee G. 12 Sep 2018 I moved my daughter from a good Montessori preschool to Challenger at the age of three years and I am pretty satisfied and happy with my decision. She is now four and loves her school. I always wanted my kid to have a strong foundation and since I was not able to give her time, few of my friends suggested me Challenger. And I am glad they did. It's just not the academic thing and the structure which I like or which I was expecting, or the thing that they teach everything here through singing The "WoW" factor came when I saw the caring side of her teachers and even the director.They take care of every need of an individual child. Three four year kids are so tender like delicate flowers and it's not easy to handle them, however here each kid is groomed with such care and love as to help them blossom in their own way. So kudos to them.In nutshell teachers are strict and structured like fathers on one hand and loving and caring like mothers on the other. And I love it and my daughter loves it more.
