  Southwood preschool laid the foundation for our son’s success in kindergarten. The balance of social-emotional and academics helped him be ready for the classroom. Our time at Southwood was so special. The staff and teachers have created a school community that is so wonderful the memories will last a lifetime.

  An absolutely wonderful preschool. Both of my children had the privilege of attending Southwood. We live closeby (can even walk here), so it was very convenient. There is also an incredibly convenient dropoff option via drive thru from 8-9, but Southwood also has very early and late hours which can be very convenient! On a personal level, Southwood accommodated my son off the wait list even when we had initially declined since he had gotten into another preschool first. Long story short, his experience in 1 week at the other school was a nightmare and Southwood agreed to take him as a 2 year old. He had a wonderful experience here and always so happy. It was a joy picking him up everyday and seeing the other happy children in his room. My daughter who is a year younger attended as a 3 year old the next year and she had a wonderful experience as well. Lots of arts and crafts everyday, along with additional extracurricular options (we opted for typing and singing classes along with gymnastics and dance). The teachers are a constant here without the turnover you see at other schools, and we are so grateful for their guidance, compassion, and care they showed our children. I will miss walking through the halls to pick them up as well as dropoff daily seeing the happy kids playing in the playground. There were wonderful events for family to attend like Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Grandparents Day. If our local elementary did not offer TK we would have continued on an extra year. I will truly miss this school and community but give it my highest recommendation. If a 3rd child were ever in our future I would not hesitate to send them here for one more experience! THANK YOU Southwood!

  A Hidden Gem of a Preschool My little one spent three wonderful years at Southwood, and I truly could not be more pleased. As an educator myself, I was looking for a preschool that prioritized social interaction and the arts—and Southwood has been an affordable jackpot. The administration consists of the owner and three extremely hard-working directors. They’ve worked together for many years and run the school like a well-oiled machine. From Christmas and Grandparents’ Day to Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween costume parades, and even a sweet “Graduation” ceremony, they go all out planning thoughtful, memorable events for the children and their families. Students regularly sing for their families and are treated to special experiences like puppet shows. The teachers are incredibly caring and knowledgeable about early childhood development. They consistently model how to identify feelings and guide children through managing their emotions in healthy, age-appropriate ways. Lesson plans are posted every Monday outside the classroom, and I now have two large boxes filled with my child’s artwork—each piece reflecting classroom themes like colors, ecosystems, countries around the world, and famous artists. For an additional cost, children can join high-quality enrichment classes like dance, gymnastics, music, computers, and karate. We did most of them (except karate) and enjoyed every one. As my child heads off to TK, she can write every letter of the alphabet, her full name, match letters to their sounds, and is beginning to sound out words during our bedtime reading. She loves school, the friends she’s made, and the teachers who have supported her every step of the way. I will deeply miss this sweet little preschool. Southwood has been a loving, supportive village, and it has laid a phenomenal foundation for my daughter’s love of learning.

  I don't even know where to begin. So far this school has been nothing short of amazing. I am very happy that we decided to change schools and so glad we were able to get into Southwood. My daughter comes home so much happier and talks about how much she LOVES her teachers Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Lauren. I love how the teachers come up to us to talk about how wonderful the kids did that day or when they are having not so good days and what we need to work on. My little comes home with a daily report of happy face, not so great face, and a sad face letting us parents know what kind of day they have had so we aren't left in the dark. Also rating how their plate was during lunch. I also want to point out the ART is so creative and cool. Lastly the Staff is so warm and welcoming each day. drop and and pick up is a breeze. I can forget to point out the glue to the school Ms. Cookie she is so great, after drop off i know my child is safe. She is so awsome! If you are thinking of sending your kids to preschool look know further! Ms. Cookie and her staff are the best of the best 1000/1000

  Southwood Preschool has been an amazing environment for my kids. The staff is great, low-turnover, and cares immensely. The school goes above and beyond and cares about each kid and family.
