​As educators, my husband and I have high expectations for our daughters' educations. Since day one,  Kordas Korner has far exceeded those expectations. The teachers work hard to get to know each and every child individually and develop their strengths. The home-school communication is outstanding and my daughters are truly excited to go to school each and every day. I feel confident sending my children to Kordas Korner, knowing that they will be learning in fun and creative ways, challenged to their potential and loved like family.

 Kordas Korner is a home away from home for my two girls. It is like a second family that they are among.  They look forward to going to school, absolutely love their teachers and the friendships they are making.   
The teachers are beyond amazing and truly put their heart and souls into teaching.  They all go above and beyond for the kids.  I am blown away by the curriculum and how much they are actually learning at the preschool level. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school! They have surpassed my highest expectations and I feel blessed that my girls are among such amazing people. They are safe, loved and truly cared for at Kordas Korner.

Our 3 daughters attended Sheila's Kordas Korner both nursery school and pre-kindergarten programs and began their love for school and teachers at Kordas. The staff created a curiosity for learning in my daughters, while providing a play-based, fun, caring and encouraging environment. Our daughters loved going to school here!  We loved our years at Kordas Korner and highly recommend the school to all our friends with young ones. -Erin & Charlie Putnam

Kordas Korner is an AMAZING Preschool!! My child looked forward to going to school and enjoyed every moment there. The staff is fabulous and very supportive. My child still talks about the staff and memories made at Kordas Korner. Sheila does an amazing job and Miss. Mary, Mrs. Laskos, Mrs. Shultz and Mrs. V left a very positive lasting impression. Absolutely the BEST!!!

My wife and I feel the decision to send our sons to Kordas Korner over that past three years has been one of the best decisions we have made as parents.  Children enrolled at Kordas Korner spend their schooldays in a loving, nurturing, supportive, and fun learning environment. Sheila and her staff are exceptional individuals and teachers. We can't thank them enough! 
THANKS! Matt 😊

​Having a child with multiple allergies can be challenging, so when it was time to send our daughter to preschool we were looking for a place where we could have piece of mind that she is safe. We called and visited few centers but it was when we stepped in Kordas Korner immediately we felt like part of family. Not only that, our daughter felt very comfortable right away and participated in activities that were going on at the time. We could not believe our eyes especially that English was her second language at the time. I can’t say enough, how wonderful the teachers were, so understanding, caring and what was the most important careful. I would recommend Kordas Korner to everyone and we will be sending our one year old there soon :)

Kordas Korner was recommended to me by a current Region 10 teacher, and what a great recommendation it was. Shelia and her staff made it their priority to make me feel calm and comfortable leaving my son and later my daughter with people other then family for the first time. My children loved the school and learned all the tools they needed to prepare for entrance into kindergarten. No matter how many questions I had or if I called mid day to check on things there was always a kind caring voice on the other end. The 4 years we spent at Kordas Korner were all full of great lifetime memories. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great learning experience for their children. 
 Thanks so much,

​Sending my child to school for the first time, was a big step for not only my son but for me too. I can’t say enough about the extra steps Sheila and the teachers took to make my son and I feel safe during the transition. I will never forget the text messages Sheila sent me during his first week to help me get through it.. she didn’t gave to.. but she did.  In a few short weeks my son felt at home at Kordas.  He is excited to go there Each day and tells me all about what he learned. From letters, to life lessons and even manners. The teachers are all professional but more importantly really good people who love what they do and love the children.  My younger son will be starting there next year!  I can’t say enough about this place.. you can’t go wrong.

Our youngest son began at Kordas after we felt he would benefit from a change in his childcare environment.  He immediately felt comfortable and at home with their warm and attuned teachers.  We felt that Kordas’s small and nurturing setting really fostered our son’s development and readied him for kindergarten.

​Thanks Sheila.  And I just can't thank you enough for all you guys are doing with our kids at school.  Diane is such a wonderful asset to your school.  I have to tell you that when I went looking for preschools, my number one criteria was warm and loving teachers.  I am so happy that my little boy is so loved at your school.  Thank you for creating such a warm environment!

Just wanted to share with you how much we love your school. First, Caitlyn is learning so many wonderful young "life skills" with Diane. Diane is obviously patient, caring, praising and wonderful with the young ones. At home we hear Caitlyn saying things that you or Diane have told her (life tips that she takes seriously!). And she enjoys the structure of the centers and has become a more interested reader at home because of her time spent reading at school. She's excited about numbers and letters and enjoys "reading" books to us and to herself!  And we all know Liza absolutely loved her experience at Kordas! While she likes Kindergarten, she gets nostalgic when we talk about Kordas and "wants to go back there." I truly believe that these positive school experiences have given the girls a great start at enjoying learning, making friends and developing positive relationships with teachers and adults. 
Thank you for providing these wonderful experiences for our daughters. We love Kordas and your teachers!

I cannot say enough how much my daughter and I love Kordas Korner!!  I tell everyone who asks, and even people who don’t !!  I am absolutely convinced that my daughter will be prepared and successful next year when she goes to Kindergarten because of the education and encouragement that she has received at Kordas Korner.  Not only has she learned so many necessary academic skills, but she has also been encouraged to celebrate and be herself, to be a good friend to others, and to care about her community and her world.  I am so grateful to Kordas Korner for making my daughter’s first school experience such a positive one and preparing her for a great year in Kindergarten next year!!

Our son has had such a great experience while at Kordas Korner. We were very lucky to find a preschool that offered such a variety of experiences. They have a great way of integrating play time with academics. He always asks if it is "school day". We would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a quality preschool.

Kordas Korner was our son, Tommy's first school experience. We have been so pleased with safe, nurturing & well-structured environment. The themes and creative projects keep Tommy engaged and excited about learning. We are so fortunate that our son has had such a beneficial introductory educational experience!

Leaving our children at Kordas Korner is like leaving them with our own family. There is never a second thought or worry when they are in their care. Truly the best, when you need child care.

My twin boys spent two fulfilling years at Kordas Korner. The dedicated staff helped them grow, learn, become independent and of course have lots of fun! They prepared the boys very well for a smooth transition to Kindergarten. I truly appreciate all the teachers' hard work in helping my boys have a successful start to their school years!
Thanks!

My daughter is a late birthday. So we decided to enroll her in three years of pre-school. She attended a different facility for the 3 & 4 year old program, but we decided to send her to Korda's Korner for the Advanced Pre-K. I can't sing the praises of this school enough. My husband and I are beyond happy with the growth we have seen in our daughter, both socially and academically. She is prepared for Kindergarten, next fall.  Each month the children have a different theme that they learn about. This month is wellness, and my daughter was thrilled to share her knowledge, with me, of how the human heart works. Each child has a job every week, from line leader to flag holder, they always have something important to do.  Communication with the teachers is open. They are all approachable and professional. What I enjoy most about visiting the classroom is the self-control being shown among the students. There is always a sense of calmness even while the children are having lots of fun during free play.  My favorite thing my daughter has shared is that everyone at Kordas Korner is friends. My younger children will receive all of their pre-school education at Korda's Korner, no question.  As a side note, you are not bombarded with monthly fund-raising at this facility, which to me was a huge relief. Parental participation and volunteering is most welcome in the class, anytime, however it is not assigned or mandated.

Our daughter attended school and summer camp at Kordas Korner from the age of three. Our daughter was academically and socially prepared when she entered kindergarten. A testament to Kordas Korner's curriculum. Everyday, a staff member personally greeted us as we dropped off and picked up our child. This was one of the many personal touches we appreciated. The entire staff was not only professional but very caring towards all the children. We felt very comfortable having our daughter be part of this program.
Sincerely,

My son has been going to Kordas Korner for 2 years now, and he has grown so much socially and academically thanks to everyone at Kordas Korner. Being my first child to enter preschool like most parents I was a nervous wreck but Sheila and the staff made the transition smooth and comfortable for myself and my son. They are always available to discuss questions or concerns are quick to respond to emails and don't mind you calling in to check on your little one. Kordas Korner keeps the kids active and learning there is always something very neat and exciting my son comes home to talk about, he has learned and developed so much while at Kordas Korner. I would highly recommend Kordas Korner to anyone with a child thinking of preschool options.

My son has had a great experience at Kordas Korner. Sheila and her team of teachers are so creative, I love the projects and art work he comes home with! He has learned and grown so much socially and academically over the last year. I am confident that they are fully preparing him for kindergarten.

My two children have attended Kordas Korner for before and after school care for 2 years. We all feel very welcomed by the staff everyday at drop of and pick up and I always feel my children are safe in the care of the Kordas Korner staff. My children really enjoy their time there socially and are able to complete their homework or even practice their instruments during after school care. Thanks to Shelia Kordas and her staff for providing high quality child care!

Kordas Korner has been the preschool for both of our children. Since our first experience with them, we have been recommending them to families looking for that special place for their child’s first school experience. They provide a friendly and child centered environment where the focus is on building strong social skills which are essential to an early childhood education. Throughout their day, children engage in creatively planned activities, which build their awareness of the community around them, but also the world.  To quote my oldest son, (as he spoke to our younger son as we drove by the school after he attended KK), “I hope you get to go to that preschool too, because I loved that school!”

I want to thank you so much for the wonderful care and education you provided to our daughter.  She absolutely loves it there.  I'm just sorry I didn't get her in there sooner.  You have a wonderful staff and we will miss you all as she moves on to Lake Garda.  I will recommend you to anyone and everyone who might express a need for preschool/daycare services.
