What our parents say

Our parents love their experiences with us and rave about our caring teachers. Read on for a sampling of comments from our teacher evaluations. You can read more on our MEET OUR STAFF page.

The teachers are our favorite thing about the program! They have been amazing, and have been so attentive to our son and it has had a noticeable impact on him. He loves going to school, and he feels so safe and secure with them.
I like how small the program is, how the staff have been there for so many years, and how much everyone cares for the children. The floaters/substitutes all know the names of all of the children and actively engage with them, which I appreciate. I also like that there are extra-curriculars included in the week, like gym and music.
The program has been so great for all of our kids. We really like that FUMP seems to tailor the curriculum to the particular needs/interests of each class each year as opposed to feeling beholden to a set curriculum that might not be particularly right for a certain class in a certain year. We really love that FUMP adheres to a play-based curriculum approach. It is probably the primary reason we have prioritized staying at the school despite the inconvenience of it not being a full-day program. We also really love the enrichment activities that have been added to the preK program over the past few years - trips to Zach, bus ride to campus, visitors from Austin Nature Center, etc. Our kids have really enjoyed these activities! Overall, we have had a great experience at FUMP.
