“I had a wonderful experience working at Kiddie Academy for the past six days as a cook. It was such a joy to see so many beautiful, smiling faces every day. The positive atmosphere and the children's happiness made my time there truly special. I highly recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone looking for a nurturing and joyful environment for their kids. It’s clear that the staff is dedicated and the children are thriving :)”

“We love all the staff and teachers - i've truly had the most wonderful experience at this school. It is evident that they care about the kids deeply and foster a nurturing environment for them to learn and grow. I was emotional when my daughter left to start kindergarten, but Primrose prepped her so well and she is thriving :)”

“I cannot recommend Celebree School enough! From the moment my little girls started attending, I could see how much the teachers genuinely love and care for each student. The school's focus on conscious discipline creates a warm and respectful environment where children feel safe and valued. Their student-centered learning approach truly fosters curiosity, independence, and a love for learning. It’s reassuring to know that my child's development is supported by passionate teachers who are dedicated to nurturing my child's unique potential. Ms. Aissatou in my daughter’s 2 year old class & Ms. Sangita and Ms. Ryan in my baby’s infant classroom are absolutely amazing. They love my children like their own. I love this school and my babies do too.”

“We are so happy that we found Somos Early Learning Center for our two children! The Montessori approach focuses on independence, hands-on activities, and self-directed learning. My children are confidently learning life skills (ex. putting on their own coats and zipping) and developmentally appropriate academic skills (ex. one-to-one correspondence, numbers, letters). The bi-lingual education is an added bonus!

The school is small and quaint, but the classrooms are beautifully organized and filled with engaging, appropriate materials that promote both academic and social growth. The smaller size allows for the students, teachers, and families to genuinely know everyone and gain a sense of community. We love that this is a technology-free atmosphere, and that there is an emphasis on getting outside several times a day. You will not get constant updates about your children all day, but you will know that the teachers are present, and your children are well-cared for!
The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely dedicated to nurturing each child’s natural curiosity and love for learning. Our kids love their teachers and their school!”

“We've been going there about 1 year and are very happy. Teachers are responsive to problems and good communicators. They use an app for check-in/check-out, and logging meals, diapers, naps, etc. They respect the hard work I spend pumping and providing breastmilk and send home any unused milk for us to decide how to use which I appreciate. When she went up to the next age classroom, I was chatting with the director the next morning at drop-off and she knew our daughter was having a rough day that morning adjusting but settled out by lunchtime and did great. I was impressed even the director knows which kids are having a rough day and keeps checking in. They clearly care about these kids and it doesn't have the feel of a big corporate center.”

“The new leadership at the daycare is great. Ms. Robin and Ms Destinee have really made a difference for the good of the daycare and for the good of the children. Ms. Robin encourages teachers to be more engaging with the children. Which is one of the things that I appreciate.”

“Great school . Well organized. Good administration. Many have been there for over 5-10 years. The staff is treated well. Its worth the high price. Our child is doing well, learning and making friends. The school is not as diverse as some other childcare facilities, but there are some children of color. They have good communication, special activities. They do close for a week at the holidays, which is good for the staff.”
