Miss Manaal, the owner/teacher is very patient, very loving and caring to all the kids. My daughter talks about her all the time and how shes going to miss her. The prices is also fair, considering the amount of time and money Manaal spends on DIY projects for the kids as well as providing healthy snacks! When we first toured the preschool, I loved loved the space indoor and outdoor! It is so inviting for all the kids, lots of different toys to explore. I also loved that there are only 8 students per teacher ratio. The fieldtrips and outdoor trips weekly are My daughter's favourite, she learned to explore the woods and its creatures, one of her favourites is the banana slugs. Also, Manaal takes photos of the kids and activities they have done for the week, which I thought was thoughtful as I never really get an answer when I ask my daughter what shes done in class. I can't say enough good things about this place! We will definitely miss Manaal and miss Karen Kristine M

True play based learning (which is sadly rare) throughout every day. Tree houses, sand pits, mud pies, dolls, books, cozy nooks, rope climbing, sewing, carrot peeling, daisy chains...all the best parts of the old days. As a child development specialist, my heart grows every time I observe teachers interacting with students. They are "gardeners, not carpenters". Love, empathy, curiosity, and firm boundaries all shine here. They are as engaged with social emotional teaching as they are "academic" skills. The world would be a better place if every child experienced this kind of early education.

All in all, the YMCA has the largest pre-school program in this area, but after hearing things about both programs and the decision was made to go with The Biggest Little Pre-School. And next year will mark the second year in a row for the little one. Incidentally my daughters class, which had 20 kids in it, had ALL 20 kids re-up for the 4 year old class starting in September.
