“We love Kiddieland preschool. I'm so glad I found Ms. Kristin and team on Yelp. My oldest attended about 6 years ago and had the best time so we came back with our second child last year. There are lots of programs and activities planned throughout the year, meals/snacks are included, and the teachers really care. My kids look forward to going to Kiddieland every day and talk about all the things they did and learned. Thank you Kiddieland for the awesome care you give to our kids!”

“My oldest son was having a difficult time adjusting to kindercare but Ms. Ashley would go out of her way time and time again to make him feel comfortable and welcome him. When he would come home, he'd talk about playing with Ms Ashley and how much fun they had. She had a way of making him feel special even when she has a room full of others to watch and take care of. Ms. Ashley even gave him stickers to take home once and that's all he would talk about for a few days. Ms Ashley was truly there because she cares about the kids and their development.”

“We highly recommend VanDamme Academy to families who value Classical learning in a child-centric environment.In a world that is increasingly stressful to children in every aspect of their lives, VanDamme Academy offers a safe haven of unplugged, but highly connected learning. Little to no homework, focused daily classroom learning, and an environment of mutual respect, kindness and inspiration – these are the hallmarks of this incredible program.Because the school focuses on eliciting critical and collaborative thinking, students internalize material, rather than memorize and forget it. School time is used efficiently so teachers do not rely on homework (and parents) to bolster learning. How is this done? Simply: classes are small, teachers are passionate about their area of expertise, and the material itself is incredibly interesting and engaging to students. Add to that expectations of mutual respect, politeness, kindness, and excitement for learning and it’s easy to see why the model works.Our daughter looks forward to school each and every day!”

“I love this school, and feel so lucky that my kids can go here. The front office staff is helpful and warm (Cathy is great) My son's 1st and 2nd grade teachers have both been wonderful, great school activities such as carnivals and jog-a-thons. Safe and energetic environment. The school is beautiful as well, nestled in a gorgeous community. I am happy that my children will go through their elementary school years at this wonderful school.”

“Little Big Preschool welcomed us in with a warm embrace, at a time when I needed a preschool for my son to transition into. It offered a wholesome environment for my 4-year-old son that offered curriculum to help nurture his eagerness to learn.Miss Sarah was kind enough to take my son in, even when her class was near-capacity. Miss Sarah radiates cheerfulness and fun! Her unwavering love and patience for her students leave something to be admired. I am so grateful to her for being the beacon of light that paved the path to my son’s love for school.We’ve moved on to kindergarten, yet we left Little Big Preschool with long-lasting friendships and forever play dates.I would recommend Miss Sarah’s class to anyone who is looking to socialize their little ones, learn new things, and have fun while doing it.”

“I did Gymboree 30 years ago with my daughter and wanted to give it a try with my one year-old grandson. After six months, I am so pleased to see the growth in large motor skills, music and socialization. The instructor, Mr Ryan, is wonderful and gives advice to assist with speech, motor development, and confidence. At the end of class there are bubbles and parachute time. Mr Ryan also plays the guitar for a cute song/dance experience.”
