Long over due review. Ms. Yvette is truly a blessing. She cares for each child she encounters and…read moremeets them where they are. Her level of attention she gives towards academic development and encouragement, personal development, mental and spiritual development, communication development, the list goes on and on is enriching. She helps with instill dignity and integrity at a young age, allows the children to think and build cognitive skills. Her personality is honest, and warming. Amazing experience and the bonus is the babies love her!

On the recommendation of a friend we visited Growstrong Preschool and 7 years later we are about to…read morehave 2 proud Growstrong graduates! I cannot speak highly enough of Growstrong. It is a small, in-home preschool, that has a maximum of 10 students (~6 more recently), and the teacher, Ms. Yvette, pours into these kids so that they are proud and excited learners and are able to do so much more than you ever imagined a 4 year old could do! When looking for a preschool we wanted a place where we felt our child would be safe, with attentive teachers, not sat in front of a screen all day, he was treated well, and he would learn important socialization skills and basics to ensure that they were ready for kindergarten. Growstrong EASILY checks those boxes and goes far beyond. Our 2nd child will graduate from Growstrong in the fall. Between the two of them we have kids who were reading at a 2nd grade level or higher, adding, subtracting, multiplying, doing word problems, playing chess, reciting the "I Have A Dream" speech and excerpts from King's other works as well as poems by authors like Robert Frost, and doing so much more by the time they leave preschool. And through their entire time there they were treated like family by Ms Yvette--a woman who I have never seen even raise her voice at any of these children despite how crazy they may have been acting--given healthy home cooked meals daily, and respected like real little humans with feelings and independent thoughts. It says a lot that out of my son's class of 5 students, 4 of them are siblings to children who graduated or currently go there. I have also grown to be friends with many of the parents of the children who have attended because we are all similarly invested in our kids and their future and value what Growstrong provides. And all of the kids have always been incredibly sweet. With so many difficult decisions as a parent, selecting Growstrong was easily one of the best ones we have ever made.

We've been at WPNS for two years now and it's been so wonderful for our child and family. First of…read moreall, I really wanted to send our child to a co-op because I wanted to know there was active parent involvement. It's not only been great for our family for me to come and get to help out at school, but I like knowing the other families care enough to be there. It's also been great to be part of an active community and we've made wonderful friends. I also wanted a play-based school for my child's development, and oh my, does he play play play! The space itself is so magical with different areas for dress up and imaginative play, blocks and train sets, quiet reading area, dress up area, and a big outdoor space with play structure, bikes and lots of "messy" play stations. But it's really the teachers that have made it such a wonderful place for my kid. They really love and care about him and share his progress with me when I pick him up. My child entered a shy two year old with a speech delay and is now a confident, chatty three year old. I really love that the school helps encourage him to be himself. I was worried a bit when we signed up that there wasn't much structure, but when I volunteered I could really see that there was a rhythm to the day and they are able to have play be child-led while providing different opportunities for them to choose throughout the day. And it's nice that he can be with kids younger and older than him while also getting some small group time with his teacher. If you're in the area, I highly recommend the school and to take a tour and see the magic for yourself!

We're in our 2nd year now and plan to send our 16 month old girl there too when the time comes. Our son started shortly after he was 2 years old. He is 3 and a half now and his development has been incredible. His social skills, problem solving, and creativity are night and day from when he started. It is a unique place and special place not just for kids but for parents too. What an incredible resource for new parents to learn and grow along with their children.

Our oldest son went here first, and we have seen so much growth in him! So much so, that the moment our youngest son was old enough, we sent him too! We are beyond grateful to have found Canterbury Academy and feel so lucky that our kids are able to learn and grow in a place like this. Highly recommend to any family looking for a loving and nurturing and environment!

Treehouse Tots is the most AMAZING place!…read more Miss Christi and Miss Hana have created a sanctuary of learning, love, and positivity for little ones to develop and explore so many beautiful aspects of themselves. We were so fortunate that our almost five-year-old got to spend his final year before kindergarten at this special school. The amount of care and creativity that goes into each child and each daily activity is astounding! Our child was seen and valued for all components of his personality and we saw the work of his teachers as the full extension of what we value most at home. We are so thrilled that our THT relationship will continue with our two younger children in future years. So much love to all of the THT family! We are so grateful.

Their expertise in early childhood education is evident as they seamlessly integrate social-emotional learning and play, crafting an ideal balance that encourages development.

Thank you for everything you do for our family and the community.

A wonderful school where our daughter excelled academically and socially. In Ms. Rosa's class she…read morelearned how to read, write, and do arithmetic. She also learned about the solar system, dinosaurs, and the lifecycle of butterflies. Socially she went from being hesitant to speak to other kids, to expressing herself through her coloring, playtime, and daily outfit selection. Communication with the school was great, emails were answered quickly and the teachers were always happy to provide feedback about your child. The school is located in a gated community so we always felt that our daughter was safe. Once our second child is ready, we will without question, send her to Pacifica.

The teachers at Milestones nurture the kids and follow their interests, encouraging them to play, explore, grow, and try new things.

Milena is so responsive to any questions we have, and has helped us navigate developmental hurdles with care and thoughtfulness. She has many years of experience and I love that I can come to her for advice. The school community is also great. It's a small, diverse group of parents and kids that I've enjoyed getting to know through school events and playdates. I'm so happy that we found Milestones.

I was on ft w. him one day & she came in to make him do something , he puts the phone down & somehow the facetime ended but was working fine when she wasn't in the room. She wanted me to have to contact HER anytime i wanted to speak / hear from my 9 year old. ( If there was something going on what kid is going to feel comfortable saying it i infront of the adults ) i mentioned the contract stating kids may bring electronics & she said "a phone isn't an electronic it's a phone" so i asked ok why can't he bring his phone because that goes against the contract she said "oh we just don't do phones here" if you want make your rules up as you go along & tell kids / parents phone aren't allowed & contact HAS to go through you then you need to contact me EVERYTIME my son says to contact me ! Example , my son asked if they can ask me if i can bring him some food , i didn't hear anything about it until my son came home hungry asking why i didn't bring him food . she doesn't let you INSIDE THE FACILITY , & still uses covid as an excuse have to take a covid test even infants every week sometimes late picking the children up from Highland . violates her own contract but when asked about certain things her response is always "refer to the contract" when majority of the time she doesn't even abide by HER contract takes off EVERY holiday ( federal , state , city holidays ) & a couple WEEKS off for vacay & any other day she feels for ex ( was closed 2 days for LABOR DAY 7/1/23 & 7/4/23 , closed 11.10 (FRIDAY) for VERTERANS DAY even though veterans day is on the 11th , a SATURDAY , closed 11/22-11/24 3 days for Thanksgiving when single parents like myself still have to work so i was ALWAYS needing to find a plan be for daycare ( will attach photos ) "recommended" we bring the bigger kids lunch during the summer so she didn't have to feed them 9 year old son hadn't been there (because he doesn't like being there ) in over a month & she was still requesting payment claims she's a 24-hour facility on paper but doesn't do evenings or weekends(will attach photos of texts) and claims "no availability" as an excuse. If your not available hire some help that is because you ARE A 24-hour daycare ! contract states school aged children who receive before school care (pick up and drop off) would have breakfast & my son has yet to get breakfast before she drops him off to school . Most daycare are 6a - 6p , but at 5:31 she'll text "your kids are still here" (will attach photos) & charging late fee's when how am i late if you're 24/7 ?
