In the beginning, our son (18-month old) had challenges being with a group of friends and Mr. Dave, Ms. Ranum, and teachers had so much patience and positive attitude working with my son to overcome it. They assisted with the potty train process which helped us so much. The school also handled Covid situation well, and we never had to worry about it. Our son enjoys his time here. He makes good friends and he loves all the teachers from three different age classes. This place makes our parenting life to have one less thing to worry about. I recommend this school to all our friends and families. We have signed up our second son to be here and we will suggest you to take a tour to see it yourself!

This is a wonderful place and we are so glad our daughter could go here for her first school…read moreexperience. The owners and staff are attentive, accommodating, and easy to talk to. Our child began with major separation anxiety, but thanks to the teachers who stuck by her side, she began dancing and having fun in as little as four days and the crying at drop-off stopped after 2 weeks, at which point she began to run inside to be with her teachers and friends. The facility is very clean, safe, and built with growing kids in mind. They have a really good curriculum and great activities in each classroom. In the toddler class (ages 18-36mo & where our child was) they have a 6-to-1 child/teacher ratio. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that I wish we could get more photos/videos and updates throughout the day, but since I also don't want the teachers on cell-phones all day long, it's an okay trade off knowing that our kid will come home happy everyday and sometimes with cool art projects in hand! The staff also does a great job notifying us of any incidents (booboos, bites, runny noses) that need our immediate attention or knowledge. They have a good, effective covid policy in place too and if I'm not mistaken only one child tested positive for covid since the pandemic began, but the child stayed home and quarantined. The entire school/staff was then dismissed to get tested and the results were all negative. To protect everyone, they check everyone's temps upon arrival and they won't hesitate to send children home for high temps or any covid-like symptoms. I would highly recommend anyone to come here, especially if it's their child's first school. They do a wonderful job.

I am happy to share our wonderful experience with Arcadia Montessori School (AMS). Our child…read moreattended the AMS from age 3.5 through the end of kindergarten. While we initially considered several kindergarten options, we are so glad we decided to stay to maximize the benefits of a Montessori education. Beyond academic advancement, the teachers at AMS were nurturing and incredibly supportive of his emotional development. We feel that the school curriculum is well-balanced between academics and the playtime children need to thrive. They have a wonderful backyard with playgrounds, and our son loved playing outside every day the weather permitted. Though we initially worried about his transition to a public first grade, he adjusted quickly and smoothly. We have seen his creativity and love for learning truly bloom over the past year. I fully believe in the Montessori method, and the foundation he built at AMS is an invaluable asset for his future. We are truly thankful to all the wonderful teachers and staff at AMS!

Update - over the last few months the school director, Cheryl Roberts and the lead teacher,…read moreFernanda Cuevas have gone so far and above what I could ever hope for from any school. Not only do they continue to help our daughter grow and give her the personalized attention she needs in class, on the playground, in daycare. But they have gone to the whole way to the mat for her to advocate for the essential services she will need to continue to learn and grow. Our daughter may well be stronger and even safer years after she graduates from AMS because of their limitless advocating for her. Separately, our daughter is now communicating at what an independent assessment has said is a level 1.5 years above her age group. And she's an increasingly confident and determined little person. Someplace else, she might be reciting more things by rote or I don't even know what skill someone might need a toddler to have. Instead, she can and will tackle anything. It just doesn't occur to her there's something she can't do. They are an enormous part of that. And just great partners in all aspects. I'm a better mom because I know them. Arcadia Montessori school is not just a school of magnificently talented, dedicated and kind people. They *love* their students. They advocate for and protect kids way beyond what one could reasonably expect from anyone other than immediate family. They just bring tears to my eyes - more than I'd like to admit! And just yesterday when I went to pick up our daughter who otherwise has deep separation anxiety said - mama, can you come back a little later?

We absolutely love Christian Academy! My daughter is in the TK class, and it's honestly been such a…read moregreat experience for our whole family. First off, Miss Ines in the front office is the best--always so friendly, welcoming, and super helpful with anything we need. She really sets a positive tone right when you walk in. We've been so lucky with all the amazing teachers here. Miss Minh was so attentive, kind, and caring--she really made my daughter feel comfortable. Miss Sherry is the sweetest and so patient with the kids. Miss Veronica Ms. Vivian are always smiling and goes above and beyond--they even tie my daughter's hair, which I think is the cutest thing. My daughter literally lights up when she sees her teachers every day, which says everything. And Miss Edith is incredible--so experienced and truly amazing at what she does. She helped my daughter start spelling and recognizing letters at just 4 years old! We also really appreciate Mr. Bo, the new director, who's brought in some great new programs. The weekly martial arts class on campus is such a big win for us--my daughter loves it and has learned so many moves already. It's been awesome for her confidence and coordination. The school itself has so much to offer too--new play areas, a fun pretend playroom, a small garden for the kids to get hands-on experience learning about plants and nature. Best part, they provide lunch and snacks (huge plus!). The kids get a nice mix of learning and fun with arts & crafts, science, math, and reading built into their day. And the winter performances are so special. Overall, we're just really happy here. It's a caring, fun, and supportive environment, and I'd definitely recommend Christian Academy to any family looking for a great school for their little ones!

As a parent our greatest desire is to love, nurture and guide my child. At AEP the staff...or Angels, whom go above and beyond the call of duty. In our experience of deciding where to entrust our precious Son factors of security, environment and development were paramount in our choice. I/we have made no greater choice than having enrolled our child here. Each and every staff member is truly an extension of our family. The rapport one builds is a lifetime from the parent-staff, staff-child and child-child is incredible. From our parental experience there is no handbook thorough enough to mentor us. But from Ms. Marie (director), Ms. Kim (assistant director), Ms. Anjali (Turtle class), Ms. Beth (seahorse class), Ms. Vicky (bear class), Ms. Frannie (dolphin class), Ms. Kelly, Ms. Debbie (retired), Ms. Stacy (retired) and Ms. Ivette (food preparer) they bestowed upon us throughout the years their invaluable insight and knowledge. Truthfully as 1st time parents they not only guide our child, but instill in us lessons that aide our adventures of parenting. We genuinely adore them and thank God for having blessed us with their unwaivering love and devotion. If I may elaborate on why AEP is so glorious is through the eyes of a toddler whom confides in us how loved and thrilled he is with his teachers and staff. It feeds our soul on how these Angels so selflessly yearns to mold these energetic bundles of joy. My Son would tell us of the heart felt hugs, the giggles, the conversations he has that makes him smile. As he express how he loves them and never wants to leave this school. Curricular wise is age based and is undoubtedly logically implemented. From encouragement and guidance the teachers fortify their needs through play and training. We often are so excited to see what he has acquired. I have watched my son develop in so many aspects that has layed a foundation I feel which will only propel him for the future. And I cannot express the shear joy we have had seeing him progress from an infant to toddler. From day one AEP has instilled confidence in our little one and us as well. I would enroll myself if I could ;p. As mentioned my son's love of this exemplary school is so great he decided to stay another year. You will experience unbridled joy as we have when your little ones sees their teachers off campus and schoolmates. It has been unequivocally the best decision we have made. I humbly and deeply thank ever Angel of AEP as they have touched our hearts, souls and minds. We are proud to be apart of AEP now and forever.

Arcadia Episcopal Preschool was the best decision we made before TK!…read more When my daughter first started at Arcadia Episcopal Preschool in December, she didn't understand English at all, and I was honestly worried about how she would adjust. But both Ms. Beth and Principal Ms. Marie gently reassured me: "Don't worry, she will catch up soon." And they were absolutely right. At first, she was too shy to speak at school due to the language barrier. But now, she has made so many friends and proudly brings home her artwork to share with us. What surprised me most is how well she's taken care of herself--and even our whole family! She now chats with our neighbors in English like it's no big deal. It's hard to believe this is the same little girl who used to cling to me quietly at drop-off. Her physical strength and coordination have also improved dramatically. Before preschool, she would get tired just from walking and always wanted me to carry her. Now, she runs around joyfully and hikes without a single complaint--her energy is amazing! None of this would have been possible without the love, care, and gentle guidance of the amazing teachers at Arcadia Episcopal Preschool. My entire family feels so grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive school community. This preschool gave our daughter the strongest and happiest foundation before stepping into TK--and for that, we are truly thankful. Special thanks to Ms. Beth, Ms. Marie, Ms. Kim, and Ms. Anjali--and to all the amazing teachers who have helped our daughter grow with love, patience, and encouragement. Your support has made a lasting difference in her life. We will always remember your kindness and dedication. We feel truly blessed to have been part of this wonderful school community.

We are so grateful for ACGS. One of the very first things that stood out to me happened while we…read morewere touring preschools. Instead of directing all of their attention to me, both the director and the teachers got down to my daughter's eye level, introduced themselves to her, and told her how happy they were that she was visiting. It was such a simple gesture, but no other school had done that. It immediately showed me how much they value and respect children. What made it even more meaningful is that months later, when we came back for the open house, they remembered her. That personal connection meant so much to me. Although the preschool is located on church grounds, we've found the environment to be welcoming and inclusive. Faith is present in an age-appropriate way, but we've never felt like religion was being pushed or that it overshadowed the school's focus on nurturing, learning and supporting my children. My two kids have completely different personalities, and what has impressed me most is how their teachers have always met each of them exactly where they were. They don't expect every child to fit the same mold - they take the time to understand each child as an individual and because of that both of my kids have thrived in their own unique ways. The small class sizes create a warm, close-knit environment, and the play-based curriculum encourages curiosity, confidence, creativity, and a genuine love of learning. The campus is also beautiful, with lush outdoor spaces that make it a special place for children to explore and grow. The teachers are thoughtful and responsive via the brightwheel app sending consistent communication regarding allergies or any incidents as well as picture updates. The director is also very approachable, involved and genuinely invested in both the children and their families. One of the biggest compliments i can give this school is that i truly feel at ease leaving my children in their care. As a parent, that doesn't come easily to me, but I've always known they were safe, loved, and in the hands of people who genuinely care about their well-being. We're so thankful to be part of this community. Watching one child graduate while knowing our younger one still gets to experience all this makes us feel incredibly lucky.

Our children have absolutely blossomed during their time here, not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. What stands out most are the teachers. They are warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. It's clear they know and care about the children as individuals, and that level of dedication has made such a difference for our boys. I cannot speak more highly of them! Another thing we love is the sense of community. We've formed meaningful friendships with other families and have felt welcomed and supported from the beginning. It feels like a place where both children and parents can connect and belong. I really do not understand the negative yelp reviews, it's important for parents to do their own research and ask questions. Our experience has been that the school takes children's well-being seriously and is thoughtful in balancing safety with opportunities for exploration, independence, and outdoor learning. We have always felt comfortable entrusting our children to their care. We are incredibly grateful to be part of this community. Watching our boys grow at this little school has been one of the greatest gifts.

They provide a good balance of playing and learning, and my kids were always happy at the end of the day when I picked them up.
