Parent Reviews

"When I think of COLM, the first few words that come to mind are family, friends and partnership. After the initial couple of months of our youngest child attending COLM we quickly realized that the love, care and dedication to our child’s education was bar none. It’s truly a partnership relationship between the COLM staff and parents. The teachers want to see your children succeed just as much as you do. You know when you drop your child off in the morning you are leaving them in the hands of staff that feel like family. The exchange of love that they have for the children and that the children have for them is tangible. The small tight-knit community of parents become friends you’ll enjoy actives with."
