As a former nanny, I tend to think of pre-school as a place to "house" kids while their adults are working. Big tree little preschool is definitely an exception to this belief. Big Tree Little Preschool teachers are incredibly engaging and you can tell that they love what they are doing. They clearly enjoy engaging with the kids and helping them discover, play, and learn. Being a nature-based program the kids get to be kids - curious, loud, observant, messy, silly - all while leaning age appropriate life lessons and the skils they will need when they start school.

They prepare fresh, delicious meals daily, and it's clear that so much love and thought go into everything they do. I would also like to add how clean and well kept the place is!

Three Little Owls has become the village we never knew we needed. We were really hesitant about…read moreneeding to send our kid to daycare, but they quickly convinced us otherwise. Our daughter was 6 months old when we first took her to daycare here. We were really nervous first time parents and every teacher in the building helped make our transition seamless. They eased all of our nerves and answered every question. They have very thorough contracts and clear cost breakdowns. They provide healthy meals, clean toys, and ensure the kids have everything they need during the day. The facility is clean, well taken care of, and very secure with access controlled gates and doors. They also provide constant updates with photos & videos of what our daughter is doing throughout the day. In addition to the daily services they provide, they also genuinely care about our daughter's growth. They helped teach her how to eat solid foods, how to sign, how to safely play, and so many new words! They sing, do arts & crafts, and have plenty of outdoor time. They always decorate for holidays and they make birthdays truly special for the kids. All of the teachers are filled with compassion and love. They show endless kindness to our girl and to us as parents, earning our trust and gratitude every day. My daughter practically jumps out of my arms to be with the teachers when we drop her off in the morning and she is always so happy when we pick her up. Sending our daughter to Three Little Owls has been truly amazing for our family! I'm grateful to all of the teachers and look forward to watching my daughter grow with them for the next few years!

If parenting had a cheat code, I'm fairly certain it would be called Kids town Montessori…read more We enrolled our daughter expecting the usual preschool perks: some finger painting, maybe a few new songs, and the occasional macaroni masterpiece. What we got instead was a small army of patient, brilliant humans who apparently moonlight as child-development wizards. Within two weeks, they had our daughter potty trained, a milestone that had previously seemed like it would require negotiation tactics used at international peace summits. By age two, she was confidently putting on her own clothes. By 3 1/2, Ms. Rahda had taught her to read! And by four, she was casually writing full sentences, while we were still trying to remember where we left our coffee. But the real magic of Kids town isn't just the academics. The teachers genuinely love the kids like they're their own. You can feel it the moment you walk in. They know every child, every quirk, every milestone, and they celebrate them all. Their communication with parents is fantastic, which means we never feel out of the loop and always know how our daughter is growing. Kids town Montessori somehow manages to create an environment where kids become independent, confident, curious little human and they do it while making it look effortless. If you're looking for a school where your child will be nurtured, challenged, and occasionally come home sounding suspiciously smarter than you, Kids town Montessori is it.

His is also able to read simple sentence books. A special thanks to Ms Saro for his 2nd and 3rd years at Kids Town. She was well regarded by many of the parents with her warm heart and also excellent curriculum. Also a special thanks to Ms Mahsa, the school director. She had timely and concise response to so many of my requests.

Her experiences at All Saints were invaluable in terms of social/emotional learning--academics were a huge bonus, even though that wasn't high on my list. You'll notice a few bad reviews--a lot of people were unhappy with the changes made by the new director (or the board, really). I get that change is hard, but sometimes we have to look at the bigger picture. Personally, I didn't think it was a big deal to stop having an outside person come in to do the music program, or to have the gym bus stop coming by--that was an extra cost that I didn't think was necessary. And the biggie--the tuition changes--yup, it sucks that it happened all at once after not raising their fees for two whole years. But now All Saints' prices are comparable with other local preschools. The convenient location and loving teachers make the cost totally worth it.
