“We absolutely love Stars Montessori Academy. Our kid moved there from a different Montessori school and loves going to school. Their enrichment classes are awesome, and they do a great job supporting the kids through Montessori learning. Also, their hot lunch program means we have one less thing to worry about.”

“I have had all of my children attend this daycare—from when my 11-year-old was a toddler through preschool to my most recent little ones, my 3-year-old and my 9-month-old, both of who started when they were just 3 months old.
Mrs. Betsy and Mrs. Aileen, along with Ms. Sandra and Ms. Maria, have cared so lovingly for my baby girl. Mrs. Diana and Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Aileen have been amazing with my 3 year old. Words cannot express how grateful I am for each and every one of them, especially the Director Mrs. Belen.
They are all truly wonderful and make daycare fun, enjoyable, and comforting for both the children and parents. I especially love the meaningful projects they send the kids home with, they are memories I will always treasure.
Thank you, Happy Times, for all the happy times and for your support since day one! 💛🌻💝”
“We love this La Petite! The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely treats the children like family. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our kids are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment every day. Our children are always excited to go, and we’ve seen so much growth in their learning, confidence, and social skills. Communication with parents is wonderful, and it’s clear how much effort and love goes into caring for each child. We are so grateful for everything they do and highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for exceptional care for their little ones!”

“I absolutely love Children’s Paradise! My son has been attending since he was one, and now at six, he is still enjoying the big kids club. I know all the staff, and they truly take care of both the children and the parents. I never have to worry about my child’s safety. My son had a smooth transition into kindergarten because he was so much more developed and learned a lot at Children’s Paradise.
He gets picked up from school and taken to Children’s Paradise for the big kids program, and I am grateful for the staff’s support and love for my son.”
“Mrs. Allison watched my 11 year old son when he was 2-4. She was amazing with him! Always singing and doing fun hands on activities the kiddos love. He still had fond memories of her being his teacher.”
“I always feel safe when dropping of my children and all the teachers are always updating throughout the week love all her teachers Ms. Rith Ms. Ariana Mrs. Christy & Mrs. Maritza always so polite”

“We LOVE Cole’s Cottage! We enrolled our 3 year old son a few months ago and it has been the absolute best for him and our family. The teachers/ staff are incredible, and it feels like a family vs a daycare center. My son wakes up everyday asking if it’s a school day because he loves it so much. Thank you for being such a wonderful place!!!”

“Hands down the BEST preschool we have ever been to! It’s small, attentive, I can’t say enough good things about it. The teachers put so much heart and love into creating amazing, educational spaces in the classrooms. my son loves going. There is also a great outdoor space that the kids spend a lot of time in.”
“We did not ultimately end up going here for preschool because our #1 closer to home had an opening but we loved the tour and the teachers and director and would 100% have sent our daughter here. I still recommend it to friends looking since it's outdoors, nature focused, and beautiful grounds.”

“My daughter went here from 2022-2026. We loved the large area for outdoor play. We love Mrs. Sharon and Ms. Lala and Ms. Maria. We love that Ms. Ana cooks a daily breakfast and lunch. Our kid came home singing, drawing and happy. ❤ We aren't religious, but our kid liked learning about kindness and empathy and we are happy to have those discussions with her. Pastor Ramon is also a gem of a human.”
“We love this preschool! The facility is always exceptionally clean, and they offer so many fun, engaging activities for the kids. What truly sets it apart is the staff—the teachers are incredibly caring, and everyone provides a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!”
