Excellent teachers | Safe, trustworthy, fun PreK
I've waited to write this review until my daughter graduated from here. She's been here for two years and loved it! It’s important to note that we enrolled her in 2021. She was very shy and isolated during 2020, so a part of why we enrolled her was to get more socialization. She’s a complete social butterfly and gets along well with anyone now.
Like every parent, I needed to feel reassured that my kid was going to be in good hands when I send her off to preschool. It's a big milestone and quite daunting going through the process of which place to choose. We looked at 3 other places, 1 other one in town before immediately deciding to enroll our daughter.
Here are my pluses:
* compassionate, trustworthy, transparent, and attentive teachers/staff
* BrightWheel app to give you daily updates on your kid-- including photos!
* fun activities -- cute artwork
* safe and enclosed with doors that are locked
* across the street from the park
Compassionate, trustworthy, transparent, and attentive: the teachers always greet us at pick up and tell us if our kiddo had an accident (of any kind). If she fell, we sign a paper acknowledging what happened. They've worked with us for a whole year potty training our kiddo. It was a very long process that required a lot of patience, but we finally got there just before she turned 5. They have been nothing but patient and supportive every step of the way, never pushing it. Class sizes vary due to kids on different schedules, so one day they'll have 3-7 kids and another day there will be a dozen. Every kid seems happy and engaged when I'm there.
They have nap time at noon for two hours, which is very important if you're looking to enroll young toddlers. They're flexible with drop off time up until 9am and pick up before 6pm. On sunny days, they'll take the kids across the street to play at the park. You communicate using their BrightWheel app, which you get updates including photos of your kid throughout the day. I wish they had this tech when I was growing up!
My daughter is sad to leave this place, but we know that if we have another kiddo in the future, we'll be back here again.
