We've been with Steam On Learning Center since our daughter was just 3 months old, and now she's…read morealmost 3! Finding a place that felt like a second home was so important to us, and we're genuinely so grateful we found this one. Our daughter is thriving! She is happy, learning so much, and surrounded by friends. She's ahead developmentally, and they've done an amazing job keeping her engaged, challenged, and supported every step of the way. They also handle the harder parts of toddlerhood with so much patience and care, like helping her learn how to get along with others and manage big emotions. One thing that really sets Steam On Learning apart is how they communicate. They treat both parents as equals, and that means everything. My husband always feels just as involved, and that respect goes a long way. The staff is loving, responsive, and really invested in each child. Our daughter is very high-energy, and they work with us as a team to support her both at school and at home. The owner is fantastic, she is approachable, thoughtful, and always looking for ways to make learning fun. She creates such a joyful environment, and the kids love all the themed days and special activities. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be seen, supported, and truly cared for, while also learning, growing, and having fun I can't recommend Steam On Learning enough. It's been one of the best decisions we've made for our family.

Gosh, I love this school! If you let me, I will rave and gush about it all day. My daughter (3…read moreyears old) started out with their summer camp program and then graduated into their PreK 1 class with the other 3 and 4 year old's. Every time I walk my daughter across the campus I am FLOORED that every employee we encounter knows her name and greets her with a wide smile! St. Mark's Episcopal has hit the mark on everything I was looking for in a school: 1. The Playgrounds are awesome, well kept, and there's three different playgrounds depending on the age group. 2. Communication is lighting fast! You get *immediate* responses from the enrollment director, the teachers, and any other staff questions you may have! They also upload photos from all the fun the toddlers are having throughout the week! 3. The Community you feel is amazing. I was floored when they invited me to a party for *JUST* the parents of the kids in the class. They really want you to know other families and create a bond that lasts for years. 4. Education has been awesome. Only half of the year has gone by but me and my daughter play a game where I'll name a word and she will tell me what letter it starts with. She was unable to do this before the fall started. The lesson plans are so clever, interesting, and I'm jealous I don't get to do all the fun stuff too! 5. The classrooms doesn't look "sad." Everything is bright, polished, CLEAN, and loads of stimulating activities for the children to interact with and play with. I really feel loved, my daughter is excelling, and I get the warm and fuzzies every time I arrive. I really cannot recommend this school enough. I love you St .Mark's Episcopal!

We have been going to this school for 8 years (multiple kids) and still going. The facility allows the kids to experience multiple playgrounds, gardens, swimming, tennis, dance, theater, basketball, and they can even play in the gym when it's raining. If you are looking for a preschool you should at least tour this one. (also it is important to note you don't have to be jewish and many kids aren't).

Ms.Michelle, who works at the front desk, was the first face that we saw when I went to tour. She showed us around and gave me a lot of information about the school. She was very welcoming and nice. When he started attending, she was always very understanding when I had to speak to her about anything. My son's teachers, Ms. Kayla and Ms. Roz were amazing! They were so sweet to my son and he loved them. They showed great care for him and showed interest in his interests. They did fun activities one-on-one with him and as a class. They were very great about updating the App, sending pictures and calendar updates. The school had a lot of fun team opportunities, such as cooking activities, soccer, and Jumping Jax. The director, Ms. Devita was very welcoming as well and always greeted us kindly!

From my very first call, Ms. Tomeka, the head of school, was incredible and made me feel confident about enrolling my daughter. She began in the Nido classroom and has since transitioned to the toddler room, where all of her guides have been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter is genuinely excited to go to school each day, most mornings she runs right into the classroom! The guides and school leadership are warm, communicative, and always quick to answer any questions we have. We've seen our daughter grow, learn, and thrive so much, and we truly have Guidepost to thank for that

Not to mention the amount of love and care from the teachers towards the kids and us as parents. I highly recommend this school.

My family and I have been Y members for nearly 3 years until just a couple of weeks ago when we…read moremoved away. I unequivocally and 100% recommend the Y for a family. Staff are all generally all helpful. Front door staff try to be quick. The service desk can be quick, but lines do occur since there is generally only one or two people working it. The KidZone staff are the true gems of the Y. My daughter loved all the caring folks who watched her daily for a couple of hours while we worked out. I cannot tell you how great they are. I never used the training staff, but they were helpful when needed. The one staff member that completely sucks is the skinnier old guy with the grey beard. That guy has the ick and tried to shoo me away from equipment when I was working out on it just because he wanted it. I politely let him know the equipment would be available when I finished. The Y activities for our daughter were really great. During our time at the Y we participated in an Easter Event, Daddy Daughter Dance, Wellness Days, Christmas events, and more. This really helped us feel part of the community and I made some great adult friends. The programming staff are stars at their job. The indoor pool is amazing. My daughter went from zero swimming skills to being completely able to swim alone at 3.5 years of age. The program pool is heated and made teaching our daughter how to swim a great experience. Parking can be difficult at the Y if you come in the afternoon. Saturday mornings were also another time you would want to avoid the parking situation. It would be great if they paved the other lot and added lines. It was the Wild West down there. Additionally, folks will dent your car and not care or leave a note. Parking here with a nice car is a big issue especially if you want to avoid dozens of small dents and chips. The actual weight lifting area is perfectly fine. If you are someone that likes classic weight lifting gyms, this really isn't the place to join. You can get a great workout in, but I found folks lacked gym etiquette knowledge. Same for the running track upstairs where there are running directions for each day. The amount of folks that cannot read directions is a bit appalling. Additional areas that are great are the full sized basketball court with 6 hoops and the playground outside. I found time to play basketball every week. The one downside is no basketball league for adults and unequal time given to basketball compared to other sports. I would have loved a volleyball drop in too. Considering how popular volleyball is in the area, it would have made sense to add. Overall, the Y is amazing. There are many great staff members and many great members that made coming here a wonderful experience.
