- SKSara K.5 days ago5.0Both of my children attend this preschool, and I also have the privilege of working here—so I get to see the school from both a parent’s perspective and an insider’s view. It has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. As a parent, I’ve watched my kids grow emotionally, socially, and academically in ways that genuinely impress me. They come home excited to share what they learned, the friends they made, and the little moments that meant something to them. The teachers truly know the children—what motivates them, what comforts them, and how to bring out their strengths. One of the things that stands out most is the staff’s longevity. Many of the teachers have been here for decades, which speaks volumes about the school’s culture. That kind of consistency creates stability, trust, and a warm, family-like environment that kids genuinely thrive in. Behind the scenes, I see how much intentional care goes into everything. The administration is incredibly supportive of their teachers, providing guidance, encouragement, and the resources needed to bring out the best in each classroom. It’s a collaborative, respectful environment where educators feel valued—and that absolutely shows in the quality of care the children receive. Cleanliness and safety are also clearly top priorities. The classrooms and common areas are consistently well-maintained, organized, and cared for in a way that supports both learning and well-being. I feel grateful every day that my children are part of such a nurturing, high-quality community, and I’m proud to play a role in the work we do. I wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a loving, stable, and truly exceptional early education experience.
