I sent both of my children to Leo from the time they were infants until they moved into Pre-K and…read morekindergarten. This is much more than a "daycare". There is structure and curriculum in place for all age groups, so I never felt the need to send my kids to preschool since they were already learning what they needed to at Leo. The building is immaculate, the staff treats the children like family, and both of my kids were always excited to go there. They had a smooth transition into a new school because they were well prepared. Thank you Leo! We will miss you all.

I cannot say enough good about the LEO Academy in Blawnox. My children were in daycare long ago…read moreand it was just fine. My Grandson is now in daycare and I am amazed at how DIFFERENT LEO is!!! They are absolutely fantastic. They teach the kids so much. It is not just somewhere to put your child while you're at work. This is a truly amazing center that actually uses a curriculum to teach the kids age appropriate material. The things that I have learned when our grandson comes home are incredible! I can definitely, without an ounce of hesitation, recommend the Leo Academy. In my opinion, they are the absolute most fantastic daycare that you will ever find.

STAFF: There are 1-2 staff per class. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, understanding, and…read morehelpful. Not a day goes by that I don't receive a warm welcome at the door or input on how to deal with a new behavior. FACILITY: Each room is fully decorated with kids' art - and is frequently changed with the season and corresponding holidays. Each kid has their own (or a shared) cubby. There is a mountain of toys and books throughout the classrooms. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas are always exceptionally clean. A argument could be made for the lack of natural light in the building - although, I like the fact that our son is in a safe environment with limited windows and a single point of entry that is near the director's office. OUTDOOR SPACE: The pick-up/drop-off lane and parking areas are all clearly marked - with plenty of room for everyone. I've never had an issue. There is an outdoor play space, which, to be honest, is a bit small; however, as you can see, the size of the space is only one of two minor complaints I have. ACTIVITIES: Seasonal parties, visitors (e.g. balloon artist, Children's Museum puppeteers, etc.), options for the Gymagic Bus or Happy Feet programs, movie days, and other fun special events are a part of the regular monthly schedule. There are also weekly slots for a music teacher, the use of sensory bins, and designated days for the letter and number of the week. COMMUNICATION: We receive a daily "report card" detailing our child's mood, meals, nap, diapers, and activities. We receive a monthly newsletter and calendar that covers all activities, curriculum, and other notes of interest. Simply, the open line of communication is exactly what I would expect and prefer. OVERALL: We are very happy with APTG and everything it has to offer. We are confident that our child is receiving the very best type of education, interaction, and activities. We know he is in good hands every single day. He is happy to go to school - and even more excited to tell us about his day. We've found that he is not only developmentally on par with other children his age but often exceeds even our own high expectations for him. I wholeheartedly endorse APTG as a superb childcare learning center for even the choosiest of parents.

Some call it a hidden gem, but we think that there are quite a few discriminatory reasons why their classes aren't always full (one class last year only had 4-5 kids...).

Both of my children attended the school over the past few years. My son started when he was just 15 months old and will go into the Pre-K program this year, and my daughter just completed her first year of Kindergarten. She entered completely prepared academically and socially and we received excellent feedback from her teacher about her preparedness, largely due to Adat Shalom Preschool. Both kids have very different personalities and learn in their own special ways. And both have received excellent care and education at Adat Shalom. The teachers truly care about each child and help them to develop skills, create connections and have fun. The families come from many different cultural and religious backgrounds, helping to create a diverse learning environment. Personally, I really enjoy that the school lets parents to be very involved in school activities and events. It has allowed me to foster my own friendships and be a part of my children's education. Practically, I also like that there are various scheduling options so I could craft the experience in the way that made the most sense for each of my kids. If you are looking for a preschool with nurturing teachers and a kind community of families, you should definitely consider Adat Shalom Preschool!

The director and pre-school teaching staff are insensitive to any disruptions that do not come from well funded members of the flock.

You can see the tenets of Mr Rogers (who interned there at one point!) woven into their philosophies and approach to preK learning.

Their commitment to providing the safest environment during COVD19 allowed our kids to get that important last year of peer engagement to prepare for K, without any closures for illness. We will always look back at our time at AFCC with gratitude!

There are also some outside programs that the children can participate in for an extra fee which my child loves...Happy Feet and Gymagic Bus.
