I can't say enough great things about PCEL!! My daughter has flourished so much since going there. The management and staff are very understanding, and treat your kids like their own. Mrs. Kelsy, Mrs. Rhabi, and my daughter's classroom teachers made me feel VERY welcomed, and it immediately felt like a family. My daughter learns a lot, and has fun while doing it (which is exactly the balance I wanted for her). They also send you pictures of your child so you can get updates - which provides some peace of mind, and it's so nice to see the great activities and lessons your child is learning.It's hard to find a great place to trust with your child, but this place is truly a GREAT place with loving staff!

Terrible Communication. Despite the fact that I called regularly, (bi weekly) it took the directors 3 weeks to inform me that they would not be accepting my 4 yr old due to rough transitions between activities during a half day visit. My son currently attends Bright Horizons. Bright Horizons has not once mentioned transition issues. Regardless, a call back is basic customer service. 1 star for blowing me off, or being too disorganized to conduct a 5 min phone call.

We love the PCEL family! My son is four years-old and will be there until he starts kindergarten. We joined the PCEL family when my son was between 1-2 years-old. We've loved every moment. The teachers and leadership are so caring! The kids' days are filled with fun and educational activities - crafts, music, art, spelling, math, writing. My son knows all his letters, can spell and write his name, and can count to 100. I love that they share pictures, so I get to see what my son is doing with his friends throughout the day. The teachers and leadership truly create a loving environment as well, which is very important to me. I feel like I'm dropping my son off with family and that makes me so happy. The teachers know how to hold the kids accountable for their actions as well, but through kindness. The teachers and leadership also go out of their way to get to know parents and to support them, which I truly appreciate. The kids at PCEL are so sweet as well! They are always giving each other hugs and showing lots of love to each other. As a solo mom, it's been important for me to create a village for my son, and I'm beyond thankful for the village we have at PCEL. THANK YOU to the entire team!! We parents appreciate you soooo much! Love, Andrew and Jai.

Our second child is currently enrolled at PCEL, and we couldn't be happier. The staff is SO friendly, and we have seen very little turnover compared to other preschools/daycare. Rhabi and Kelsey are dedicated directors of the facility who go out of their way to make families feel welcome. We love the community, the teachers, the activities, and all our child's new friends!

We came to the Co-Op mid-pandemic, an unusual decision. But after a few years of mounting frustrations at another center and hearing about PCEL from a parent who had defected, we decided it was time to make the switch. Our 2 children (5 and 2) are now thriving there, in spite of COVID. We all adore the Center Director, Ms. Rhabi, who is everything you hope for in a Director: warm, caring, communicative, available for questions and concerns, etc. Our son claims she is his best friend. The teachers in both classrooms are wonderful and have done a great job keeping us informed about what the kids are up to on a daily basis, even without the chance for any face to face interactions given COVID protocols. We have been especially impressed that our 5 yo has picked up math concepts (graphing objects) and our 2 yo can identify all the letters in her name and even name some classmates whose names start with some of the letters she knows. Beyond the curriculum, it is clear that the school models and expects the kids to demonstrate kindness and empathy towards one another.We wish the kids were able to spend a little bit more time outside in the winter (on days w/ reasonable weather) and that it were easier to get to know the community during the pandemic. Otherwise, we highly recommend PCEL!

Great school I went there when I was younger and learned a lot. The teachers were great and the play gym / tower were very fun to play on. Now I will never forget my preschool year.

An excellent place. Two years old grew to love it in less than a week . Learn tons off new stuff, constantly surprised by new skills, new vocab and general sense of maturity.
