  Heads up: long, detailed review First and foremost, I’d like to start by saying that this place is genuinely amazing and that’s the VERY least I could say about this place. The director Ms.Missy is nothing but patient, kind, compassionate, and understanding. This lady is always willing to work with you, always willing to spark up a conversation with you and listen to you and whatever you have going on in your life. She is far from judgmental. It’s 8am and she’s helping me come up with recipes about pork loin. She is accommodating and she cares deeply about the facility and the children that attend. She’s very selective of the staff she chooses to hire and goes through great lengths to make sure she picks people who will teach and protect your children. She’s the person I trust most with my children if something were to ever happen to me. My sons teacher Ms. Katelyn S. is the most patient and kind person ever! She has such a colorful and beautiful personality but somehow very calm and understanding. She takes every child’s personality as they come and she works with them. I have never once seen her in a bad mood or unwilling to deal with with my son’s different emotions he goes through everyday. She is the person you want being around your children while you’re away. My daughters Teacher Ms. Madison K. All my of my thoughts and emotions about Madison won’t fit in one review. My daughter loves her and she adores every child that she comes across. My daughter went through a difficult time recently and my daughter was able to confide in Madison and think of her as a safe person to talk to about difficult and good things. I told Madison 1 time that I was trying to test my daughter to see if she’d do well with attending kindergarten early and that was all I had to do. Madison took that information and ran with it completely! She gives my daughter work sheetz that emphasize what they teach in kindergarten and she sees that my daughter likes challenges and likes keeping her mind busy and she doesn’t ignore that, she goes more than the extra mile to help my daughter. She is nothing short of amazing and nurturing. Other teachers I’d like to recognize in this review are dakota and Carla. My daughter is not where she’s at today without their help. Every child loves Dakota and gravitates towards her. She’s loving and fun. Carla is such a good parental figure for children. She’s understanding and patient and gives feedback when needed. Carla is the 2nd mom your child needs when they’re at this facility. I could never see myself taking my children anywhere else. I’d be doing my children a disservice if I left this place.

  We have had such a positive experience with this preschool. My son absolutely loves going to school each day, he even asks me to go on weekends! He has been in three classrooms with this school- the 2's, 3's, and 4's. Each classroom has been amazing. He has met the best of friends and adores his teachers.The staff and teachers put so much care into each child, and it shows. We are moving out of town soon and are so sad to leave this school! We wish we could take WPA with us. It has truly been a saving grace. If you are looking for a trusting, enriching, safe space for your child- I could not recommend this space more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such great care of my little one!

  WPA is such an amazing school! My daughter came home, after her first two weeks, singing a song in Spanish. And my sons vocabulary exploded once he started! Every teacher knows every kid by name and they truly, sincerely love the students. I can not say enough good things about this school!

  My 5yr old has been with the preschool for over 2yrs now and absolutely LOVES it. The teachers and staff are amazing! My son comes home learning new things every day! The classrooms are well maintained and clean and every child is on a routine. Every teacher knows EVERY child and parent regardless if the child is in their class or not. I could go on and on about how much we LOVE this preschool. It is the PERFECT learning environment for young children to thrive and grow and again I cannot stress enough about how absolutely wonderful and caring all the staff is!

  We love Wilmington Preschool of the Arts!!! My daughter adores all of the teachers and has absolutely blossomed under their care. They are incredibly supportive of her needs and are accommodating to my parenting style (Attachment Parenting). I love that they don't have a "one size fits all kids" philosophy of teaching. The staff is warm, funny, and amazing with the kids. I often find myself chatting with them as I would friends and family. If you're looking for a stuffy day care filled with toddlers with giant bows on their heads and wearing their Sunday best, this is not the school for you. If you want your kid to be happy, inspired, and educated- then this IS the place. I toured several other well known preschools in the area and even started her at one with terrible results. My son attends an area private school which offers an outstanding preschool curriculum... However, I plan on keeping my daughter at WPA until she starts kindergarten!
