My son is currently in 1st grade and this is his first year at Galileo. On the first day, he was very nervous but I was allowed to walk in with him wait in line and walk to his classroom. Once he saw his classroom he felt at ease and liked the welcoming environment that one feels when you're comfortable with your surroundings (like home). He loves his school and he has learned a lot. I was surprised at how fast he picked up reading! Ms. D is a great teacher, she really teaches her students and communicates the way they will understand. He is doing great in all his subjects. I think Galileo is a great school! I definetely feel secure dropping-off my son at school every morning.

My daughter is in Pre-k program and she absolutely loves it! The pre-k teachers are both fantastic and couldn't be better! We choose this school over AJLA. I hope to see the best in upcoming years. Great job Galileo!

Overrall I have been satisfied with my daughter's success at Galileo. I would however like for the kindergarten teachers to use best practices such as (scaffolding & differiated instruction) to challenge my son and move him to the next level. I see great gains with his math skill, however he needs to be challenged more in literacy. In addition, it would be helpful if the monthly newsletter reflected the skills they are working on in class for the month so I'll know what to work on at home and not just announcements of upcoming events, that is already given out on a weekly basis.

This is my daughters second year at Galileo and I couldn't be happier with the teachers she's had. However, I have to admit a few of the secretaries in the office are a little snippy at times, would be nice if they were a little warmer in greeting visitors & parents.
