- CCCavemanugh5 days ago5.0Rhoades Preschool has been absolutely amazing for our kiddo — she has truly grown and blossomed since the day she started. The teachers here are exceptional, and I want to especially highlight a few who have made a huge impact on our family. Ms. Danielle is fantastic — patient, calming, and incredibly nurturing. She has such a gentle presence and knows exactly how to support each child’s emotional needs. Ms. Miriam is a total godsend. Her energy and enthusiasm make every activity fun and engaging, and the kids adore her. She brings so much joy to the classroom! I’ve also really appreciated everything Nicole, the new preschool campus principal, has brought to the school. From great communication to introducing new language classes (Mandarin and French!) and organizing much-needed community events, she’s made a wonderful difference. The new extracurriculars like cooking and yoga have been such a bonus too. We’re so grateful for this preschool — it’s a warm, loving environment where children truly thrive. Highly recommend!
- RRRaani RobertsonNov 14, 20255.0We love the program. Rhoades is a great balance of academics, arts, and play. Ms Danielle is truly a standout teacher, her effort and attention is incredible.
- SSScott SNov 10, 20255.0We are really enjoyed the gentle and inclusive approach Ms Christelle takes with our little one. She made the transition to preschool smooth and our littlest looks forward to going to school everyday. Ms Danielle was absolutely fantastic with our older one leaving them prepared for TK. Ms Miriam keeps the kids engaged in science and language. Overall, the school does an absolutely wonderful job and goes above and beyond by offering daily music class with Mr Richard and incorporating art in day-to-day work. Ms Barbara and Ms Nicole makes drop off easy and provide the kids with much love and snacks that they actually enjoy. They make it easy for busy parents.
- CHChristina HepburnOct 28, 20255.0Our experience with the Preschool has been incredible currently with Ms. Christelle and previously with Mrs Rosanne. The environment is wonderful and my kids love it and learn so much. The principle Nicole is really involved and gets so much done for the school.
- CJCaitlin JensenOct 27, 20255.0We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Rhoades Preschool. My oldest daughter started at the school at 2.5 years old and graduated PreK. She is now in Kindergarten and was extremely prepared for Kinder and I credit Rhoades for giving her such a strong academic foundation. She still talks about her preK teacher Miss Roseann who is wonderful. My younger daughter is currently at Rhoades and is thriving. She says “school is my favorite thing to do” and adores her teacher Miss Danielle. Miss Danielle is so warm and loving and makes the kids feel special. She is always filling their day with fun, creative activities and makes learning fun. The kids are exposed to so much more than a standard curriculum - for example they have Spanish, Mandarin, French, music, science, and even cooking. The other families have been great and it is a really wonderful community that we are thankful to be apart of.
