My daughter attended Briarwoood preschool for close to 9 months and loved it. The teachers are…read moreextremely caring, and the administration has been very welcoming to us. My daughter was able to participate in a yoga class and music class on a regular basis. Students are also able to participate in My Gym program for a smaller fee. My daughter's teacher, Miss Ingrid, was amazing as well! Kids usually engage in different crafts and projects, which they are able to take home with them at the end of the week. They get to see and learn about different animals (another program that the preschool participates in). I very highly recommend this preschool. Not related, but I really think that it would make the look and feel of the school the little better, is that they need to update their furniture and paint some of the areas inside the school. It's looks a bit it worn out and needs some care. However, don't let the look of the school to dissuade you from sending your child there. Amazing program and caring teachers!

Our oldest…read moredaughter just transitioned to TK at Carpenter and she was extremely well prepared because of Briarwood. We just started our twins there a couple weeks ago and they've been loving it as well. They had a typical amount of separation anxiety, but everyone there has made them feel welcome, safe, and loved. The teachers are caring and thoughtful and they create a very comfortable environment for little ones. The programming is enriching with a nice balance of structured and unstructured time. It also draws a great community and we've made some wonderful friends through the school as well. The school has a long track record of success, we even know kids who are in college that went to Briarwood and their parents still rave about it. We are so grateful for Briarwood and we're excited to have our kids there for a couple more years!

Top 3 things I love about Oakdale:…read more 1. Play based school with focus on emotional intelligence development. For instance, they work on developing kid's emotional vocabulary (ie. "considerate vs inconsiderate", "team work", "friendship", etc), conflict resolution skills ("I don't like this" instead of just crying), etc. In my opinion this is the most important foundation skill set in getting kids ready for elementary school. 2. Teachers are spectacular and they have also helped me be a better mom. They know my son as well as I know him and care for his growth and development like a family member would. The force is definitely with them. 3. I feel like tuition is reasonably priced. Oakdale's student-teacher ratio is probably about 5 or 6:1 - superb! Frankly, what we get at Oakdale is priceless. Please schedule a tour and meet Jeanine, the school's academic director. Can't recommend it enough.

She comes home and teaches us things almost daily. My daughter looks forward to going to school everyday and wishes they had school on the weekends! Haha. The thing I value most about this Montessori school is that it's more than just a school it's a community helping each other to grow and be the best versions of themselves they could be. I got diagnosed with cancer shortly after my daughter was born and I was going through chemo the last couple years and they helped me so much. They went above and beyond and treated me and my daughter like family. If you're looking for more than a great Montessori school valley village is the place. It will be heartbreaking next year when my daughter goes to kinder. Thanks for everything!

Mara, Monica and of course Sofia ('our Sofa') are so professional, attentive, caring, and kind. The new place was recently built and is extremely well-cared for. It is exceptionally clean. Their home cooked meals are always fresh. From the very beginning they were organized and responsive. My girl went through a stage of extremely picky eating but with the staff there she never had a problem eating their nutritious and delicious meals and now she is a great eater. They have many interesting activities for children. We love all amazing art projects she brings home. The preschool (academic) part is above and beyond our expectations. Under their guidance she flourished not only academically but socially and emotionally too. She has become a self- confident little girl. She doesn't have problems singing, dancing, reciting poems in front of all parents during their holiday shows and concerts for parents We highly recommend Friendly Family. There are plenty of day cares in the area but believe us there is no one like them. We couldn't be happier - literally like family. Thank you for taking care of our girl!

Highly recommended for parents that understand the importance of early on structure and development of children.

They know how to treat each child with love, care and support. They have many different activities that goes on in this cute, yet full of knowledge by the staff. They work very carefully, hard and meticulously with your child. They don't discriminate against any child of their national/ethenic origin, race/color. It is a very SAFE environment for the child and their parents/guardians. Recently, I attended to one of my friend's child's Christmas party and was blown away by how well the party was organized/orchestrated by their staff members. Kids love their teachers and don't want to go home:-) By seeing, volunteering, observing everything and hearing word of mouth, don't hesitate to sign your child up at this cute, colorful, pretty ABC School. I don't know the parking situation, but they do have clean bathrooms for boys and girls!:-)

I highly recommend this school to anyone who is curious about pre-school. ABC was more than a pre-school, it was a home and will always be a place that our family will miss and visit often.

There are lots of fun events throughout the year like holiday celebrations, Shabbats, and restaurant fundraisers that bring families together.

This school truly is magical because it is a place your child is free to learn and connect through play in a completely outdoor environment with the support of you and the other teaching parents. I feel truly lucky to have been a part of this program where my kids have learned so much and so have I as a parent. Having community as a parent of young children is invaluable especially when the other parents are as committed to teaching the kids as you are. If you have an opportunity to join this school and are looking for a place that you can have a hands on role of supporting your child's education, this is the school for you!
