“The Kid Whisperer”

“I jokingly refer to Mr. Jim as ‘the kid whisperer’ but he has an amazing ability to connect to children in a way that makes them want to listen, learn and do the right thing. Both my boys had him as a teacher when they were 5-6 years old and I loved watching how respectful Mr. Jim’s classroom functioned, mostly out of awe! I highly recommend Jim Immel for anyone looking for a place for their child that is uplifting as well as a fun place to learn!”

Pre-K Programs and Peace of Mind

“I have known Jim Immel for the past several years. He developed and ran the Pre-K program that my son was in. He really cares about each and every child and their family that is enrolled in his program and his passion shines through. He has an unbelievable patience that shows as situations change from moment to moment, day to day. His creativity is an extraordinary talent and he continues to amaze me with his programming and other ideas.
Jim’s presence is the best peace of mind a parent can have. You can go to work with full confidence that your child is in a caring, safe, educational and very fun environment. That peace of mind is priceless!”

Fostering Specific Interests

“Blake learned just as much, if not more, from Mr. Jim than he did in his public school kindergarten class. His teacher praised his level of knowledge (thanks Mr. Jim). Now in 1st grade, he continues to ask for ‘harder’ things to do. Mr. Jim not only prepared Blake academically, but also fostered his interest in music. As parents, we appreciated all that Blake learned from Mr. Jim and also that we were able to have the peace of mind that he was in a safe, fun environment with his friends!”

Over 20 Years Teaching Experience

“I am so thrilled to have Mr. Jim preparing my daughter for kindergarten. For us, the decision was a no-brainier. Jim Immel has over 20 years of teaching experience – not many preschools can tout that kind of background. His reputation among the education community is very strong – I’m finding more people every day who express how much they respect and admire Mr. Jim. His rapport and love for children is immediately apparent – we felt an instant connection and my cautious daughter warmed up to him quickly. His tuition is very competitive and the class size is small, which provides more one-on-one attention for the same price we paid before at a large center. My daughter loves going to school each day and I enjoy hearing all the things she’s already learning after only two weeks. I wouldn’t have her anywhere else.”

Positive, Creative Approach for Special Needs

“I can’t say enough good things about Jim Immel as a preschool teacher. Our son, who has ADHD, was not able to assimilate into the average preschool environment – and it became clear that he needed special attention to learn how to be successful in a regular classroom. We ended up with an IEP and at the East Heights Early Childhood Family Center, in Mr. Immel’s class. With the help of his many creative ideas for reinforcing good behaviors, our son was for the first time able to complete the school day and feel good about the work he was doing. His positive, creative approach to helping our son in the classroom learning environment is something we will always be grateful for. Let us know if you have any questions!”
