MEET OUR FEATURED FAMILY The Burkes We are delighted to have the Burke family as a part of our Kids R Kids West Houston family! Noah began with us as a young toddler in the Summer of 2017 and is flourishing in our preschool program. She enjoys the learning environment in classroom 400 and he is getting ready for her approaching transition to Pre-K. Her parents are very supportive of her learning with us and enjoy being involved with Noah’s classroom activities. It is exciting to see parents who come into the classroom during special events with expectation of what they will learn too!  They are most supportive of her overall development as she has grown up here with us which makes them really shine as our feature family. Here is what  Mr. and Mrs. Burke had to say about their preschool experience with us  in their own words: “…From the moment we walked in on Noah’s first day, everyone knew her name and even our names. It was incredible and we felt loved. From day one, we knew that Noah was going to be loved and well taken care, in all aspects of her development. We have continually seen each and every teacher Noah has had love on, teach, help, and educate her in the most phenomenal ways. Noah loves to go to school, and at home she plays school where she pretends to be one of her teachers and we are her students. She has become so vivacious and vibrant, and we owe a lot of that to KRK West Houston and every single person that interacts with Noah. Noah has learned to be kind, loving, and caring, as well as respectful thanks to everyone at KRK West Houston. She loves all of you, and so do we! We could not ask for better influences in her life. We are eternally grateful for the staff at Kids R Kids!” Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Burke! Please see more photos and more about this special family on the display in the lobby. [ 6 ] [ 7 ]
