Discovering each child's potential

Tiny Trio Excelling in School

Tiny Trio

The Dukes’ quadruplets, all graduates of Mary Cariola’s Preschool, are seven years old now.  Three of them are winding up their first-grade year at School 12 on South Avenue where they have excelled in all academic areas. Nazir’s teacher is impressed with his sentences and how well he writes stories.  Briana is the ace in math, figuring out problems in her head, and Aniya’s strength is reading. She has already reached the fourth-grade level. 

 

Wanda is hoping her children’s enthusiasm for school and homework continues.  They get right to it as soon as they arrive home, without prompting!

 

DeYonte is making great strides at Mary Cariola.  He knows his colors and shapes and is learning numbers and how to write his name.  He was the smallest for the four babies, weighing just a pound and a half and spent months in neonatal intensive care. 

 

“They all got a great start at Mary Cariola,” Wanda says. And she insists that the good foundation they received here underlies their on-going success.
