Schools in Bentonville, AR

“We absolutely love Posh tot ! Our 5-year-old just completed four wonderful years here, and the care, attention, and love the staff show every single day have been incredible. From the teachers to the directors, everyone truly goes above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe, supported, and happy.

Watching our oldest grow, learn, and gain confidence through their program has been amazing, and there was never a doubt in our minds about where our second child would go. The communication through the app, structure, and genuine care they provide make this place feel like family. We’re so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on both our kids. Absolutely recommend it!”

“Little Martians was our first experience with daycare for our 1 year old son. Naturally we were nervous to start the daycare process, but Maggie was so wonderful at helping us navigate everything and putting us at ease. Ms. Sam and Ms. Emma in the baby room were so amazing and gave us so many updates throughout the day! Ms. Sam always made sure that my son got something to eat that he actually liked, which was so important to me. I feel like my son was treated like one of their own children. I would recommend little martians to anyone looking for childcare!”

“The Goddard School in Bentonville is truly exceptional. As a family that has attended multiple Goddard Schools in different states, we intentionally seek out Goddard for their curriculum and structure. This Bentonville location is the best we’ve experienced!

The facility is brand new, immaculate, and beautifully maintained. It’s clean, modern, and clearly run at a very high standard. The owners, Ms. Leila and Travis, are fantastic and highly involved, you see them on site regularly, which speaks volumes. Cecilia, the Director of Operations, is wonderful and keeps everything running seamlessly.

The teachers genuinely care. They are warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. Classrooms are engaging and thoughtfully run. For the younger children, morning centers are consistently set up, making drop-off smoother and giving kids something exciting to walk into right away.

What makes this school especially memorable is the community engagement and enrichment. From soccer and ballet to food trucks, book trucks, and partnerships with local vendors, they’ve truly thought of everything. It feels intentional, forward-thinking, and deeply rooted in the community.

We would absolutely still be there if we hadn’t moved out of state. It was a wonderful school, and we truly enjoyed our time there.”

“Both our kids have gone here and loved every moment of it! The staff here is the best, and care for each kid as their own, most of the teachers have been here for many, many years.”

“We are so thankful for this wonderful preschool experience! The teachers truly care about each child and create such a warm, safe, and fun learning environment. A special thank you to Miss Jess and Miss Allison for their patience, kindness, and dedication. They make learning exciting and always go above and beyond to help the children feel loved and confident. Our child has grown so much socially and academically, and we appreciate all the creativity, communication, and support from the entire preschool team. Highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for caring and amazing teachers!”

“You will not find a better daycare to take your child. They are phenomenal. Our son has a severe speech delay. Staff has been accommodating, loving, and patient. The communication is superb, the environment is clean and centered around the children. We have so much love for this preschool and we highly recommend them!”

“We absolutely love Casa Castillo Kensington. Every single teacher we have had has made it easy for us to leave them while we go to work. Anaid has been magic for our oldest, her language has exploded. I know she is having so much fun exploring and learning. Ariana is the sweetest & most caring soul who I makes our youngest feel loved and safe. Finding Kensington has been such a blessing to our family.”

“All the staff is super friendly and kind. My kid loves all the teachers! They do a great job keeping you updated on your child. They are quick to answer any questions and go above and beyond to make sure the kids are cared for.”

“I have 2 girls here, 3 and 1. We’ve been there a year and absolutely love it, we’re only leaving due to relocating. Both girls love their teachers and friends so much. 1 has to stay goodnight to all her friends/teachers before going to sleep. She used to be hard to drop off but the teachers quickly adjusted and learned what prevents meltdowns, she now runs inside. We struggled with potty training the oldest but they have worked with her so well and been very patient and she does so good now”

“The Ark Academy is so much more than a daycare — it is truly family. From the very first day, they welcomed our daughter as if she were one of their own, and for that, we are endlessly grateful.
After extremely painful experiences at other daycares, we had almost completely lost our trust. We were anxious, worried, and honestly scared to try again. But The Ark Academy changed everything for us. Their kindness, the way they embraced our daughter immediately, and the comfort they gave us during those early days meant more than words can express.
I can go through my day stress-free because I know she is safe, loved, and cared for beyond anything we expected. She lights up when we arrive each morning and often doesn’t even want to come home — and that alone shows how special this place truly is.
We are deeply thankful for every teacher, every smile, every update, and every moment of love they pour into these children. The Ark Academy has restored our peace of mind and renewed our faith in childcare. We feel truly blessed to have found them.
If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t just care for your child but treats them like family, The Ark Academy is truly the best.”

“We LOVE Helen Walton. I know without a doubt that my daughter will be taken care of as if they were the teachers' own children. The food is fresh and healthy. Our main teacher has a Masters in Education. She talks about her teachers and can't wait to see them!”

“My son has been apart of the LEMS family since 2021 and we’ve had nothing but great experiences in each class he has been in. The staff is wonderful and truly loves the kiddos they work with which brings my mama heart so much relief while I am working. He has learned so much and will be ready for kindergarten before I know it—all of the credit to LEMS staff.”

“I struggled a lot finding the right place for my kiddos, la Petite has so much to offer and my kids love their teachers. I have peace of mind knowing I can take a peek into my kids day at anytime and the staff is great and easy to talk to!”

“We have been at Mustard Seed for almost three years and I can't say enough good things about the experience our kids have had. The on-site staff are attentive and very clearly love the kiddos (Ms. Jackie is THE BEST!). I appreciate the balance of fun and learning, and feel that my kids are academically, emotionally, and socially growing through their time there.”

“I just love this club for my three boys. To see them over come hard things and build confidence is every mother’s dream. The coaches are great and encourage them to do hard things. And push them to be the best. We make a trip from Joplin twice a week and it’s more than worth it. You won’t find a better program in the four states in my opinion”

“My son attended his freshman year with this school because of the pandemic. At first it was hard for him getting used to the online platform, but by the end of the year he had all A's and a couple of B's. He will start his sophomore year with Connections Academy and now loves this school!”
