“We are so grateful to have found Cadence Academy Preschool. I cannot thank the teachers at Brentwood Preschool enough for their incredible dedication. When my little son first started, he was so shy and cried a lot. Thanks to the teacher’s endless love, patience and warmth, my son now feels better, happier and more excited to go to school. We deeply appreciate the school director, who was very understanding and supportive through the transition. Highly recommended!”

“This daycare was recommended to me by a friend. I would highly recommend it too. DDDC is a wonderful community of teachers and caregivers who are committed to safe, loving care of our neighborhood kids. My toddler is excited to go and close with his teachers. The level of communication with parents is excellent. They are responsive to our questions and needs. There’s an app for keeping aware of how your kid’s day is going. The pricing is very straightforward.”

“Our daughter has attended this preschool/daycare since she was 8 months, and they have been absolutely wonderful. She is now two and a half and still thriving at the school. The teachers and staff are incredibly welcoming, caring, and dedicated to their students. If I have questions or concerns, I feel extremely comfortable to speak with her teachers and directors of the preschool; communication between the staff and parents is great and effective. My daughter is given so much attention and love from not only her teachers, but all teachers and staff who interact with her, she is incredibly happy to go to school each day and runs to hug her teachers as soon as we arrive. The preschool/daycare offers many fun and educational activities throughout the year that they make sure are age appropriate for each child and provide a plethora of fun activities and events throughout the summer. My husband and I never worry about our daughter when she is in their care, we know she is well taken care of and learning something new each day. We highly recommend this preschool/daycare.”

“We had such a positive experience with the staff and teachers at baby village. I felt so supported while I was transitioning my baby to daycare. While I ultimately decided to wait until my baby is a bit older to do daycare, I will definitely go back to baby village when we are ready. Riana and Monique were very respectful and supportive of my decision and not pushy at all. If you are needing daycare for your child, you will be in good hands at baby village! Riana is fantastic. Highly recommend.”

“Our daughter began attending Irvington Preschool this past fall and absolutely loves it. I love the play-based learning environment and child-led approach of this school. The co-op model creates a wonderful community where all the kids and families get to know each other.

Teacher Sam is a gem! She truly understands how to foster an environment where children can grow their social/emotional skills as well as a love for learning. She also designs such thoughtful activities that help children learn about each other and the world.”

“We feel so lucky to have found this daycare center. Our eldest child went for 4 years before graduating to kindergarten, and our youngest now attends. The staff are all super experienced, patient, and kind, and I always know the kids are getting excellent and enriching care. The daycare program is great, and I was particularly impressed by the preschool program. Our older kid was learning sight words and how to read simple books as a 4 year old. And he's still excited to go back and say hi to his teachers at pick-up. The daycare also offers snacks and lunch every day, which makes all our parent friends at other daycares jealous.

Highly recommend this place!”

“Chelsea and her preschool have been such a bright spot for our kids, could not recommend Magnolia Blossom enough. We love that it’s a shared intergenerational space with great spots for the kids to explore in the preschool and the access to nature in rain or sunshine. If you’re in St. Johns, it’s a great investment to have you and your family engage in the local neighborhood with this wonderful preschool.”

“Where is the 6-stars button?? Our oldest is just about to graduate from Dragonfly Preschool after 3 amazing years. Teacher Lisa and Maia/Brittany provided a fun, caring, and educational environment for all of the children. Our son looks forward to school everyday and always comes home excited to show us the art project he did that day. The school is in a beautiful home and quiet neighborhood with a fun play area in the backyard. I would go here if I could! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 1/2 day preschool.”

“When we moved from Toronto, Canada, to Portland, Oregon, we were looking for the best school to enroll our four-year-old daughter. After exploring several options, we found that The Goddard School of Portland matched all our criteria perfectly. It was also conveniently located close to both our home and office, which was a huge plus for us.

Our daughter absolutely loved the school especially the teachers, play area, and her classmates. We are truly grateful to the teachers and school management for making her kindergarten experience so memorable and enjoyable.

The only little concern our daughter mentioned was that she didn’t enjoy nap time in the afternoon and would have preferred some quiet activities instead to keep her engaged. 🙂

Overall, both my spouse and I were extremely happy with the school and the care, attention, and learning environment they provided. We are happy to give The Goddard School of Portland a well-deserved 5-star rating as a token of our gratitude.”

“I have three children that all started in preschool at Catlin Gabel. Catlin Gabel provides warmth and nurturing for young souls. Staff at the school pay incredible attention to the child's social-emotional well-being. Catlin students are happy, confident, and ready for the world. My children are all in high school now and they have gotten a fabulous academic foundation and are almost ready for college! The price is well worth the environment in which my children are growing up. I am happy and secure to be able to say that my young adults are curious learners, view the outside world with hope and skepticism, and are always open to new ideas. They are caring and generous, educated and sophisticated. I couldn't be happier with Catlin Gabel School.”

“St. Agatha has been (and continues to be) such a blessing to our family. We transferred from another Catholic elementary school and are so grateful to have found St. Agatha - there is nothing quite like it. The teachers and administration are caring, involved, dedicated, engaged, supportive, and committed. The community is absolutely incredible - the parents are a vital part of the school and it makes such a difference. Mrs. Casey, the principal, cares about the faculty and the families. She knows every single child's name and her presence is exactly what one would hope for to guide their child's school. Our elementary school boys love their school and community. It sincerely is like one big family. I could go on endlessly about how grateful we are for St. Agatha and how blessed we feel to be apart of this community.”

“After spending significant time researching and searching for the right support, a program that would truly produce results, we found exactly what we were looking for in Linda Mood Bell Learning Center.

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, communication was clear, thorough, and highly professional. The entire staff was organized, thoughtful, approachable, and outstanding in every interaction.

What gave us confidence from the start was knowing that Linda Mood Bell’s programs are evidence-based and designed to develop the imagery-language foundation essential for reading, language comprehension, and math. This isn’t surface-level tutoring… it’s foundational work that creates lasting change.

Most importantly, they met my son exactly where he was and then thoughtfully stretched him beyond what he thought was possible. Throughout the program, he experienced consistent wins and meaningful progress, building both skill and confidence along the way.

They have a remarkable ability to connect with children, understand their individual needs, and help them see their own potential. My son didn’t just improve significantly academically…he grew in confidence and belief in himself!
He learned that he can do hard things and achieve incredible goals.

We are deeply grateful for this experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Linda Mood Bell to any family seeking meaningful academic growth and lasting confidence. Don’t wait, just do it!”

“Holy Cross is a wonderful school. I’ve been so impressed by the dedication of the teachers and leadership, especially during the pandemic. Our daughter is loved and nurtured at Holy Cross, as well as academically challenged and enriched. We love that Holy Cross has a family-like, down-to-earth atmosphere. When we joined the school 3 years ago, we felt immediately welcomed and included. Holy Cross has plenty of opportunities for service projects, extracurricular clubs, sports and fun community events. There is so much to love about Holy Cross!”
