This center has been wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful, and very down to earth. Whenever I’m there I see the director first hand running around, being actively in the mix - this speaks volumes, because at other preschools, I’ve witnessed the person in charge staying in their office, behind closed doors, without any real interaction with the staff or children (or families!). Amanda is helpful, thoughtful, and considerate, and is willing to meet me halfway if she can’t give me a “yes” to a request/question/etc. Amanda is someone I look forward to greeting at the front desk when I’m there to pick up and drop off and my son gets a kick out of her, too!
Ms. Shantel is a phenomenal preschool teacher. She has helped my son, a “Covid baby”, that stayed at home with only me most of his life, pick up on social skills and communication quickly. She helps him get excited for upcoming activities in the class and really adds to his self esteem because of the attention and praise she is able to give him. She is excellent at juggling all the needs of each little one in the room and certainly knows how to let things roll off her shoulders, and can turn something stressful into something positive.
As a brand new childcare center, it’s to be expected that there would be some hiccups as the first weeks went on- this center has been more than on top of communicating updates and changes to families, and I really commend them for their humility and humanity- they don’t try to act perfect, but they definitely bring their best everyday for the kids that attend this center. I’m so pleased that I took the leap to switch to this preschool center!
