My son attended The Academy as a backup care option for a few weeks before transitioning to TK, and he absolutely loved it. From the very first day, the staff made him feel so welcome and comfortable. He came home each day singing songs, proudly showing off his artwork, and excitedly sharing everything he learned. He even made noticeable academic progress in a short time — it’s clear the teachers are intentional and attentive to each child’s development.
Special thanks to Mrs. Sonali, who was incredibly kind and caring — my son adored her. Mrs. Kristine, the Director, is a warm, approachable leader who sets a positive tone for the entire school. And Mallorie was always so helpful and informative, making communication with the school easy and smooth.
We’re truly grateful for the care, love, and learning our son received here. I highly recommend The Academy to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their child.

This is a wonderful preschool with empathetic and involved professionals who really care about each and every kiddo. I had my son go through to graduation to kindergarten and my daughter is currently about to head into pre-K. My kiddos have loved it. The school has a nice balance of academics and play and seems to attract nice families with similar ethos about kindness. Ms. Nicole and Ms. Kristine and Ms. Mallorie are super capable and kind. Each of the teachers have been conscientious and caring. Can’t ask for more. It is hard to find good childcare. 5 stars is not enough!

Our experience with the school was profoundly traumatic and horrific for my baby and our family. The Center Director, Ms. Nicole, is beyond incompetent. The teachers are overwhelmed and the school under-staffed. We were treated with a total lack of respect by the school’s Director, it was incredibly insulting and unprofessional. I do not wish our awful experience on any other families.
