“Inspiring and dynamic clergy, warm and devoted members, fabulous religious and Hebrew school that the kids love, excellent adult education programming, and I appreciate their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and welcoming everyone.”

“Our son attended Kids Town for over 3 years and we are so glad that we made that choice.Under the guidance of teachers and staff members, he was able to thrive and develop both socially and academically and we have Kids Town to thank for that.It goes without saying that he definitely enjoyed attending Kids Town where he had a ton of fun hanging out with his friends and also participated in a number of activities and programs. Those experiences definitely played a great role in preparing him well for kindergarten and I believe it continues to function as a solid foundation for his academic growth and development in elementary school as well.We live nearby so we tend to drive by Kids Town regularly - and we still talk about how it was just a perfect fit for our son. It's been well over a year since he graduated, but Kids Town still has a special place in our hearts.”

“My opinion this school is the best preschool in the Valley. After changing 3 preschool we finally got into this school and that was the best decision we made for our son.in a past year he learned so much. His teacher Ms. Angela is experienced and so caring. She truly cares about the kids and makes the classroom a fun environment and at the same time educational. Mr. Sanchez (the principal) is also, great! He makes sure the kids are all taking care of and their needs are met. Overall, we are very satisfied:)”

“ST. Mary's school has been a home for my kids for the past five years. It's the safest place you can leave your kids at and the teachers are very well educated and very patient with the kids. Their summer camp was extra amazing and the kids had a blast. Thanks to all you do and continue to do with the kids”

“This is a great synogauge with a warm community feel and down to earth people. Their programs are engaging without being over the top. The youth programs and ELC are particularly wonderful. The pre school starts at age 18 months and goes thru pre K. Potty training is not required. This is a nurturing place that is inclusive to families of all backgrounds and faiths. The teachers genuinely care, the families are inviting, and communication is strong. They have a huge and amazing yard which they utilize throughout the day. The pre school is extra secure with double gated entry. Your child will have fun and get messy. Sensory exploration is a huge part of every day complete with paint, slime, sand, and water!”

“I have both of my kids at Kidsville my daughter is now in kindergarten. She started with Ms. Norma and had a great experience. She came in the middle of the school year and was welcomed. Ms. Norma was very structured and because of that my daughter was able to excel in her learning. She was very patient and kind. I love that she also teaches the kids Spanish. Even my son, who isn't in her class yet, feels happy and safe at drop off with her, she makes sure to make him feel comfortable participating with the other kids, which makes the biggest difference at drop off. He's currently in Ms. Zuri's class and loves it, and she is great with him as well. My kids love all of the staff members they've interacted with at kidsville, and they are always wanting to go say hi to their previous teachers there. huge thanks to Ms. Maureen and her entire staff!”

“Firstly, the owner/director, Neli, is truly wonderful! She loves children and has built an amazing curriculum and culture for the children in her school. She is incredibly sweet and nurturing and very hands on in the classrooms with the teachers! The teachers, additionally, are all amazing! My son loved going to school every day and spending time with his teachers. He'd walk right in and go give hugs and he was so excited to learn and play. He began to make friends and he learned so much while at this school. If we could keep him there, we 100% would! Unfortunately, we are leaving the area and cannot take the school with us. But we love the school and everyone in it. It's a young and new school, but Neli is brilliant and knows what she is doing and she is doing an amazing job. We will miss them so much! They are a wonderful option as far as a place where you know your child is safe and well cared for and getting the best education and fostering new friendships!”

“We chose this school for our 3 year old son because of its location and it's proximity to the local elementary school where our oldest attends. The convenience of being able to pick up and drop off both of our children around the same time has been tremendously helpful during work days. As far as the school and staff goes, we couldn't be more pleased with our experience thus far. The staff and owner are very easy to communicate with and are very responsive. Our son has attended Starter Set for the past 6 months and within that time we have noticed a marked improvement in his speech. At home, we find him singing all kinds of different songs that he had learned at school. He always comes home happy and with no complaints about his day. But the thing that impresses us the most is the genuine love and care that the teachers and staff have for the children. They've done things like give us updates on the funny/sweet things that our child did that day or send us pictures of a him having a holiday meal. What parent wouldn't love that?? Starter Set has been such a blessing for our family. We are so so happy to have found them!”

“My family feels so so lucky to have found Petite, it is absolutely amazing. It's sort of the Goldilocks of private daycare/preschool; perfect size, pretty academic while also tons of fun, options for structured learning but a ton of flexibility and individual attention for kiddos who need that. Our son has been at their 2-year old class and now their preschool class, and we are planning to send our baby daughter there when it's time :) The school director, teachers, and staff are very professional, caring, and communicative. They are so great with telling us about any challenges, and working together with us to support our son. His classroom teachers have been so intelligent and caring, and so committed to all their students growing and learning. If you happen to be looking for a safe place for kiddos with special needs, they are also experienced and capable in including children with sensory differences and learning differences as part of their classroom, and really welcoming to kiddos who have therapists or aides coming to observe or help out.”

“My wife and I were looking for a place that was magical, they have singing class, real instruments, live music, they eat, they play, they have their jobs and develop their different abilities. The play area is a place where children have a very fast learning stimulation. Very good recommended, plus my son is Mexican-American and they treat him very well.”
