We have been at Seneca Academy for 5 years. Both of our kids started in preschool and have…read morecontinued through elementary and we could not be happier with our experience! The staff is absolutely phenomenal. The classes are small so each child gets the attention they need. The kids get lots of outdoor time and because of that they are able to focus better when in the classroom. Dr. Parker, the head of school, is fantastic and we really appriciate her open-door policy. Seneca is such a close-knit community and we are so grateful to be a part of it! Our kids are thriving and love going to school every day. I can't imagine there is a better school out there!

I love Seneca Academy!!! I am so happy we chose this school for our children! The teachers are…read moreoutstanding, and I love how small the classes are! There is a real sense of community within the school. I appreciate how easy it is to get in touch with my kid's teachers if I have a question. I am very impressed by the IB program. Most importantly, I feel like my kids are truly getting the best education possible. I read a previous review about how they never met their child's teacher, and had to wonder how that is possible? One of the best things about Seneca (to me) is the ample amount of opportunities we have to meet with the teachers and be in the classroom. There are meet and greets, back to school night, parent/teacher conferences (even for pre k), and parents are encouraged to come in several times a year to be a guest reader, or help with holiday parties and other activities. Our experience with Seneca has been exceptional and I would highly recommend it!

The staff worked with us to help transition her into their programs and helped A LOT with potty training. Now at 5, and off to Kindergarten, our daughter has learned so much from her friends and teachers. All the kids have grown to be very close and just love each so much. Black Rock is a health conscious, play-centered learning environment. The directors go above and beyond to stay informed and up to date on the latest learning styles and resources for young children. I highly recommend this place!!

The manager and teachers are so wonderful and warm and they take care of all the children as if they are their own. My daughter always has wonderful things to say about her day at school and I am so blessed to have found this place.

We attended two other preschools in the area prior to moving to Great Falls and ending up at Creche. I can say without hesitation that Creche offers the perfect balance of hand's on learning combined with an emphasis on learning through play. The teachers are warm, nurturing and collaborative. My daughter struggles sometimes with emotional regulation. I speak with her teacher regularly about her progress. We share strategies and observations and have teamed together to collaborate on her success. In addition to the positive overall learning environment, Creche offers a strong sense of community for the parents, which is unique. The school sponsors social activities throughout the year and the parents have many opportunities to get to know each other, which is beneficial to the kids. My older daughter left well prepared for kindergarten and I have no doubt that my younger daughter will be as well.

Dear Mitra: I am…read morewriting to let you know how much we have appreciate the excellent job you and your team have done over the past 5 years while my 2-year-old daughter begins attending Sunshine Preschool Childcare Center.

Even though it's difficult to be away from her while I'm working, I have peace of mind in knowing that she was in such good hands during those times. Kind Regards Marty Haghjou

My LO learned so much and came back home each day with a little snippet of something wonderful that she & Ms Mitra did that day. We saw her vocabulary grow, she knew all alphabets, numbers, counting in groups, writing etc. Ms. Mitra & her staff worked with her on developing her fine motor skills. The center is clean and well organized and also have an open area where the kids can play outdoors and unlike most other home based centers, Sunshine was not located in the basement, it is on the main level of Ms. Mitra's home and this added a whole new level of comfort for me.

Our 3 year old just started there as well and if all I have to thank TLVM for is the potty training, which we failed at miserably, I'm happy. Having said that, we have much more to be thankful for.

They have learned so much during their time here both academically and socially. The curriculum is play-based, but it is still structured enough to be a very beneficial option to assist with transitioning into a traditional Kindergarten environment. The classes take place inside a really neat historic school house and often includes outdoor adventures to the adjacent playgrounds and Frying Pan Farm Park to visit with the animals.

She is highly educated in the field of early childhood development and her approach is effective yet gentle. I have relied on her for advice on potty training, tantrum management and picky eating and across the board her advice has been fantastic. I feel that she makes me a better parent. This is what sets this place apart from other centers: Zoe's expertise and the fact she doesn't walk away from the center. Every new teacher that comes in gets trained, so at the end the approach to childcare remains constant, regardless of who the teacher is or the age of your child. Another thing that I love about this center is the constant and transparent communication. The updates on the app are constant. You know what is happening with your kid throughout the day. I see photos of them doing yoga, I see photos of them playing in a sand box, I see videos of them playing in a tent pretending to camp. It's just fantastic. I occasionally message the teachers for different things and I always get a response back. I feel that we are all on the same team, which makes everyone's life, including my daughter's life, much easier and happier (e.g., during potty training). One of the teachers, Marlee, lent me her book on overcoming resistance to pooping which is common among toddlers for instance, and it helped a lot. She obviously didn't have to do that. Finally, I have noticed that my daughter isn't getting sick as often as the kids of friends who go to other places, which obviously matters when you are a working parent (e.g., she never had a hand-foot-mouth disease for instance, while a friend's kid in DC had it twice over the past year and another friend's kid in Philly had it once and he started daycare only 2 months ago). I am not sure if this is a coincidence, but I have the feeling that the level of cleanliness at the center helps a lot. I really don't have enough good things to say about this center.
