We have had a lot of unique situations, restraining orders etc.. Which meant lots of phone calls and documentation and lots of extra work for the staff. In the back and forth domestic situation, the one thing that remained was, we always always always felt that they were completely safe at Door to the Future. Ms. Jeanette and her amazing staff went above and way way beyond. The boys have learned so much there. They are not even three yet, They know their colors, their alphabet and their numbers!! They are so amazingly smart and have completely come out of their shell. **UPDATE** 2019 The twins are now 5 years old, they stayed at Door to the Future until they went to kindergarten. It broke our hearts for them to go out into the big world they were so safe and happy there. It's clear that they learned so much because at Door to the Future, they are FAR ahead of most of the kids in kindergarten. They are actually reading books already. I wish they could've stayed there forever in the safe cocoon of love and understanding at Door to the Future!

It was so cool and my daughter was enthralled! She talked about the progress of the butterflies every day. Lovely shaded yard with loads of imaginative play structures.

From the very first day, Ms. Maggie made both my child and me feel completely at ease. Her warmth, patience, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. I can see how much she loves what she does, and it reflects in how happy, confident, and excited my child is to go each day. The environment is nurturing, peaceful, and thoughtfully prepared, and I love that my child learned independence, kindness, and a love for learning at such a young age. I'm so grateful for Ms. Maggie and the incredible care we've received-it has truly been the best experience!

I am so happy I found Academy of Play…read more My older child was graduating from another facility when I had my baby who needed alternative options. After all, as parents, the hardest decision to make is who to trust your baby with. Most tend to stay with what they know, because it's comfortable and proven to be safe even if it doesn't fit each child you have as perfectly as the last. Fortunately for my family, we found the best fit. The fit being Academy of Play. The teachers are all caring, emotionally attentive, and tuned in with each child as if they were their own. The documentation, updates throughout the day, regular photos, lesson plans, and development assessments are comforting and reassuring that my baby is well taken care of. The staff is not lazy when it comes to speaking with the children. Your child will fully be immersed in Spanish. There is no bias if the child does not come from a native Spanish speaking environment or if the child does not have a Hispanic/Spanish/Latin background. The classrooms are bright, clean, and filled with tons of art. There is always an instructor led activity and the school invites families to attend musicals, art shows, and more. The chances to be involved especially the parent/teacher meetings regardless of age does ease a lot of mom guilt I tend to have due to needing to work long hours some days. All children are welcomed and loved. I could not speak more highly of the program.

My kids have attended FHPP for a couple of years and now that my almost 5 year old is about to head…read moreinto kindergarten I wanted to let others know that their children are in safe and caring hands at FHPP. I think that teachers make so much of the difference in a child's experience so I feel pretty fortunate that my sons have had Mrs. Dominic (4 year old room) and Mrs. Conway (3 year old room) during their time at FHPP. Both ladies are sweet and loving and seem to genuinely love teaching the littles. Mrs. Dominic has pulled me aside to show me pictures she took during class of my son playing nicely with other children (I previously expressed concerns about his social skills) and she even mentioned one other child in particular with a disposition similar to my son. I have since arranged wonderful private play dates with the other child and his mother! Mrs. Conway always welcomes my youngest with a big warm greeting and although he somewhat reluctantly enters class at each drop off, he enthusiastically reports back to me that Mrs. Conway is his "best friend"! And the office is managed by the nicest ladies around. Robin (director) and Melissa (assistant director) always greet me like a member of the family... sometimes (okay, often) I'm late, they are warm; many days I'm disheveled, they are welcoming; and on more than a few occasions I've needed a few minutes of adult interaction, they are willing to take 5 minutes to ask how I am. They take a true interest in my kids and my family. I feel fortunate to have found FHPP!

As soon as we get there, he waltzes right in and starts playing, and get this, he doesn't even cry when I leave, rather, he cries when I come pick him up and take him home haha. The teachers who take care of the little ones in the infant room are so loving, and take the time to teach and play with the kids. Also, the director Robin is so amazing. Super kind and understanding! It is an all-around great program, and can't wait to have my son spend his next few years there!

We feel like our kiddo has learned a lot about community and herself. There are some downsides, as there are everywhere. I don't love the location, right off a busy road, and there's been some teacher turnover, but the school feels really safe behind gates, with a lovely outdoor play area, and there's been a lot of continuity with other teachers. We're headed to TK soon and are really, really bummed to leave the BunnyBears family, but are so glad for the experience.

His curiosity was something that I was worried about when looking into schools. When I toured the school and met with the owners I knew this was the place for him. I didn't qualify for assistance so I had to pay out of pocket. As a Parent I'm sure you guys can relate that if I'm paying it better be worth it. Let me assure you, I would have paid 2 times what they were asking if I had to. Long story short I am blessed that my son was able to get into such a great school. If we weren't moving out of State he would still be here. Oak Tree I just want to say THANK YOU for keeping the joy in learning. Every single morning my son tells me its time to get up because he needs to get to school. We will miss you guys dearly!! The love and dedication you guys have for these kids are unmatched. Keep it going, your efforts does not go unnoticed!! We love you all :)
