Each one of my four children have attended Newcastle Preschool from 2001-2008. I drive past many other preschools on my way to and from Newcastle. Newcastle was the right choice for my children. Each child thrived in the structured environment which provided the right mix between academics and socialization. Each one of the teachers is well qualified and trained in early childhood education. Kathleen Jensen is a wonderful director and gave us wonderful parenting advice. All four of our kids experienced some separation anxiety. Kathleen took the time to call us on the phone to suggest a plan on how to help the children adjust well to preschool. The teachers and staff at the school each were aware of the plan and worked together to help the children adjust to the new environment. My kids loved all the art projects, playground, singing time, computer classes and especially Daddy Day. The teachers each made a big impact on each one of our children. We loved the pictures that the school sends home periodically of our kids participating in the activities at school. I love when they ask me to come and volunteer to help the children read, because the teachers and staff make me feel welcome and part of the school system.

My family and I absolutely LOVE Newcastle! I have had four of my children attend this Draper preschool from 2000-2008 and each one of them would come home so excited because of how much they had learned or what they had painted or songs that they want to sing to me. I have twins that are attending right now and I decided to start them early because I knew what Newcastle preschool provided. I personally talked to Kathleen, the director and owner about my concerns and she suggested starting them early and repeating 4/5 year old class. That was the BEST suggestion for them because it has given them a chance to mature and grow at their own levels. All my children have enjoyed the teachers! They are experienced and love each one of their students like their own. We especially like Ms. Dawn. She is the most kind, loving teacher and she truly loves teaching children! One of my children’s favorite activities are the singing programs that they have twice a year, they think they are the stars of the whole program! If you are honestly considering the preschool options for your child, your search is over. At Newcastle preschool you will enjoy every minute of your child’s experience!

Newcastle Preschool in Draper was our first-choice preschool upon searching numerous peschool websites before heading to Utah for our preschool interviews and tours. Coming from a small Idaho community where our daughter had started preschool at 2 1/2 years old for a year already, this was an overwhelming decision to make as we headed to a much larger urban city. We toured larger preschool centers in Salt Lake County but didn't see that they would be challenging, stimulating or very guided in early childhood development curriculum. We reviewed pages and pages of applications for all-academic, somewhat elitist feeling institutions that took me back to the pressures of my college enrollment days ... and then I remembered that this is preschool, she's three years old and she'll have the rest of her life for high-stakes academics. I wanted a preschool that believed in learning fun and creativity that was outside the "worksheets" thinking box. We even visited a Salt Lake County preschool that impressed us initially with fancy building and classroom aesthetics until we learned further that they didn't enjoy outdoor play time, and most of our discussion evolved around the buildings materials and looks, and take-home worksheets, my thoughts again ... for 3-year-olds? This was a distinguished "Best In State" award recipient, and when I asked what that indicated the preschool had to accomplish to receive the award, I was disappointed with the overly simplified response: "A lot." My frustrations in our Utah preschool search all ended at Newcastle's doors with the warm welcome of owners Larry and Kathleen Jensen. We, as parents, felt at home, and were reassured by that same calming demeanor we could sense from the children's and teachers' faces. The kids and adults alike in every classroom we observed were all truly engaged, stimulated and happy to be there. Not only were we impressed by the open rooms, creative learning centers, and large outdoor play area, but we were reassured and confident in the learning curriculum balance we had discovered at Newcastle. We know our daughter is going to learn everything she needs to know to be prepared for kindergarten, but because of the balance Newcastle preschool brings in the belief of educating the "whole" child, our daughter will bring more ideas to learning than just writing letters and numbers. She'll embrace learning new ideas and concepts beyond the grasp of a mere pencil on paper. Instead, she'll see more with imagination, creativity, adventure, risk-taking, diversified applications and, perhaps the most important learning element to motivate children to enjoy school from this age forward: fun.
