Marcie Katzman, a parent to three kids (pictured above) at Juan Cabrillo, said, “When we moved back to California and started at Juan Cabrillo we were welcomed by the staff with love and compassion. My daughter Madelyn was ready for TK and made some amazing friends. Patty Mehring made sure they were Kindergarten ready. My middle son Shane was second grade at the time and fell right into place in Laurel Thorne’s class. He came home every day and reminded us that one of their field trips would be to Mrs. Thorne’s farm and he couldn’t wait.”
