I love the loving, caring and nurturing environment. Here, every child can find his or her talents and live up to his or her potential. I also like how relaxed and joyful everybody is here. The students look forward to coming to school every day.
Describe a memory or favorite
story about Eldorado Emerson:
My 3 year-old daughter started school here at Eldorado Emerson. Spring break came, and after a couple of days at home, she declared: "Mommy, I want to go to school!" Surprisingly, I felt the same way.
How would you describe the school in one sentence?
"Eldorado Emerson is truly an "El Dorado" (a place of fabulous wealth or inordinately great opportunity) in the midst of our crazy world."
