We felt welcomed from the moment we began our in-class tour. I was able to see the 3-4 year old class in action and once they explained the co-op experience in detail, I knew it was the right fit for our family. Being a co-op, the school requires parent involvement in the classroom and to serve on a committee. I found the involvement to be one of the best experiences of my life. It's been such a joy to watch my child and his school friends learn and grow. I thought at first it'd be challanging to work and volunteer with the school, but I found a way to make it work and it was worth every sacrifice. My son absolutley loved his first year of pre-k with Mrs. O'Donnell, and we look forward to next year with Mrs. Emerson.

My child loves to go to school and is always looking forward to be there and be with her teachers and her little friends. I like the way the school has an app that you can follow your childs progress throughout the day, and they send out alerts about everything that is going on with your child. Very accommodating for Pre-K as they assist your child in e-learning, a feat which is already hard on school age kids. Lunch is served every day and it's always something different every day. They also accommodate kids with special diets or food allergies. Again, I highly recommend Childtime for your Pre-K and daycare needs.

During the first week upon picking him up, we found him chewing on plastic in front of his teacher while she looked at her cell phone ...... We initially withdrew him, but after being reassured by the director, Caitlyn Kessler that he would be moved to a new room and everything would be OK we decided to let him stay . Since then, Caitlyn has nothing but treat us as less than. Mostly due to us needing to pay in cash and not preferring an automatic withdrawal. It's a shame because you take your child somewhere and you expect to be treated better than as if you're ordering fast food. The owner of this particular franchise Al Patel essentially treated us like customers in a retail setting. Never once inquired about how we felt about the level of care. It was only about money while dealing with this gentleman. There's a quiet classism that goes on and it's a shame.

I was very particular about what I wanted while looking for a preschool for my 3 year old daughter. I did not want to send her to one of those big box daycare centers. I wanted a program that was research based, progressive, and run by people who truly care about what's best for the children. This program is absolutely amazing! No other preschool in the area compares. Ms. Lavonne and her staff of teachers have created a safe, warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment for our young children to have their first life experiences out of the home. On top of the normal preschool curriculum the school also offers Yoga, Spanish, Art lessons, Wild in the Woods (science and nature), reading instruction for 4 year olds, as well as multiple field trips throughout the year. My daughter has been thriving st FHNP. Every day when she wakes up she asks me if it's a school day! She only goes 2 mornings a week, but after 3 months we are already planning on participating in the summer program and will be enrolling full time next year. Affordable tuition rates are just the icing on the cake. Any other preschool in the area costs at least $100 more per week. This is the best preschool program and I am so grateful my daughter has the opportunity to be a part of something so special.
