Our experience here exceeded our expectations. My daughter could never stop speaking about her teacher Mrs. Neha and the friends she made in class. The preschool is small and closely knit, I was shocked to see how comfortable my child was around other teachers not assigned to her classroom which is always a good sign for me knowing she feels safe. The first few weeks of her attending I often questioned the curriculum and whether or not my child was actually learning anything, but those thoughts were quickly put to rest once my child would come home writing her letters, sounding them out and demonstrating things she had no knowledge on prior to her attendance. Although our time here was short lived, I am grateful for the experience they gave my child.

A lot billing of errors. Dirty tables on the playground outside. Staff makes no attempt to clean them. The Director has refused to allow my daughter to come to school. She stated I had to pay an invoice that wasn’t due till November 6th before I could bring her back. As of today it’s November 2nd. I am not passed due on any invoices. This school randomly increases tuition with very little notice. A lot of staff changes. I have messaged the director. I have called the office multiple times with no answer. I don’t know who’s above her but they need to know how unprofessional she is. My daughter suffered an injury while in their care. No report filed until I notified them. Now they want photos and a doctor note as proof when it’s all on camera. Beware of Carmen and seek other options if you can.

My daughter has attended Tree of Life since she was 2 years old & will be entering kindergarten this fall. I feel lucky to have been able to drop her off everyday to an environment that I know is safe, clean, stimulating, happy & caring. I looked forward to receiving updates with pictures & videos throughout the day. Academically, my daughter is fully equipped for kindergarten. The teachers do a great job of creating a routine that encompasses not only learning & structure but creativity & imagination & an overall sense of community within the classroom. TOL is always adding fun activities for the kids like water days in the summer, they offer dance & sports lessons during school hours & take every opportunity to throw a celebration for holidays. The teachers & staff do their best to make preschool an enriching & fun experience while treating everyone like family. We will greatly miss this school & it’s teachers & staff!

My children LOVED going to school here. They loved all of their teachers and the school had wonderful events all throughout the year for holidays. We also received many pictures and videos of what the kids were doing in their classroom every day which I loved. Any time we had a question or concern we were promptly answered. Big shoutout to Ms. Julianna, Ms. Rita, and Ms. Bridget for being so wonderful to our kids we will truly miss you so much.

We have been sending our daughter here for about 6 months. They have been nothing short of wonderful. Our daughter loves both her teachers, they are constantly teaching her new things, we are so impressed. You can tell they really love what they do, we highly recommend it!

Just like another person that reviewed, i was told my foster son should be evaluated for ADHD. I did, and the psychologist that came to observe him at school advised me that he did not show any signs. She also told me that she had tondo something that she normally would never do during an observation which was step in and let the school know that they were not re-directing properly. She also said she had never seen a child be singled out as much as this little guy had. After those observations, it turned around. (Perhaps they took her recommendations seriously). However, He was ultimately asked to leave when another child was "pushed" down and injured. We had a meeting where it came out that the other child was standing on a 3 foot tall table that holds a tray of sand and my son was trying to get him down bc as he said "it is not allowed". Now, completely understand that it was not the job of my 4 year old to make sure other childred are helped off the table. However, where WAS the teacher while this other child was standing on the table? In any case, that day they said that my child was welcome to stay as they did not believe it was intentional to have the little boy fall and hurt himself and in the future to tell a teacher when he needs help. Later that evening I received a message (not even a phone call) to advise that he could finish out the week but would need to leave afterward. I fully believe that the school was looking for someone to blame for the other child's injury and they found one in my child who has learned to not trust adults due to situations like this. It breaks my heart that this school is now added to the list of adults in his short life span that has not kept their word or has used him to further their own agenda. Shame on this school, they seem polished on the outside but are not anything like they portray themselves to be.

On the first day, they “evaluated” my 3.5 year old daughter and said she was too hyper and didn’t understand the routine & schedule. So the guy in the front put her in a lower classroom. It’s her time being in a school setting and they didn’t give her a chance. The guy said he has been doing the hai for “30 years” and knows what he is doing. I worked in a daycare before we don’t evaluate kids off the first day….Then the second week, 30 mins after dropping her off they called saying she had a fever and she had to get picked up. She was outside playing and not only that they had milk out in the playground while it was hot outside. When I arrived she was fine and didn’t even have a fever. But he still told us that she can’t come back until Friday. So I paid $240 for the week for nothing. We didn’t take her back after that. There was other little issues during the first week as well, I didn’t feel comfortable bringing my child there anymore.

Our son joined after a long year of being home during the pandemic. He had a difficult time transitioning from always being home with our family to a school setting. The Staff at Tree if Life were amazing, kind and very helpful with easing his transition.I can not say enough about the quality of this preschool and the staff.

The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable, and professional. They put my son and his needs first. I was very pleased as far as learning, behavior, and structure. Very few places will take an interest but I've never had a school be such a benefit to my son as TOL has been to my son. Thank you.

Our two children, ages 3 & 5, have been going to Tree of Life for just over one year. My husband and I have been extremely pleased with the level of care, consistency, and ongoing education that they are recieving at Tree of Life. Both of our kids amaze me on a day to day basis on the knowledge that they have obtained through their education at Tree of Life. I can honest say that when I leave them each day I do not have to worry about the care or education that they are receiving, which as a mother is absolutely priceless. I would highly recommend Tree of Life to everyone!
