- EJERIKA JOHNSONOct 30, 20255.0We have been a part of this preschool for 15 years and have always been so happy with it! Our kids have started in the infant room and moved all the way through, completing VPK. The readiness our older kids had when going into school was unbelievable! I recommend this school to anyone who asks about preschool in the area. I would never go anywhere else.

My child is always excited to go to school and comes home happy and proud of what they’ve learned. The activities are creative, and communication with parents is great. Truly the best start we could’ve asked for!

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills.
