The staff has been very helpful in communicating with us about our children's behavior and academic progress. Our older child started at public school this year and she is ahead of many of her peers with all she learned at Victoria Children's group. We actually have her at Victoria for afterschool still, specifically because we feel that the academic support is better there than at some other afterschool programs we looked at. The new facility on Grand and Orchard is bright and pleasant and the kids feel good about going there. More importantly, the staff is kind, the kids talk very positively about their teachers and helpers, and they have made many nice friends among the other kids there.

I really appreciate all hard work that staffs put in. She's very happy there and she learned a lot!

What this school lacks in space, it makes up for in the incredibly loving and enriching environment…read morethe school principal, Amy and her staff create in this small but wonderful nursery school. My daughter attended this school for 6 months for the 2016-17 school year. My only complaint is that I wish we could have sent her to MLV for the entire school year. This school tuition is competitively priced for similar private nursery schools this neighborhood. It is close to mass transit both beneath and above the ground. Security is excellent, in order for your to enter the school you must first be buzzed in and there is usually a staff person who greets those who enter before entering the school. MLV is centrally located with several local and wonderful parks in the immediate vicinity. The number one reason why you should send your child to this school are the people who work there. Everyone at the school, both management and staff are a joy to interact with. Our child usually came home with smile on her face and when she didn't, staff were always available to consult to discuss whatever classroom politics took place that day that didn't agree with her. I could go on forever about all of the great things about this school. Ask to speak with parents who have sent their children there as a reference. I can't imagine any that would ever give this school anything but stellar marks. If you want a loving and encouraging space for your little one, (and who doesn't?) look no further than MLV.

From the owner: MLV is a progressive and inclusive preschool. We draw upon many different schools of thought in the…read morefield of early childhood education, but are particularly influenced and greatly inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching. Our understanding of the Reggio Emilia approach begins with an imperative respect for the child. A respect for their innate ability. A respect for their sense of wonder.

I've heard lots of great things learning a second language when the kids are young (super young, like when they're still a baby). When the pandemic started, I began to look for online options for my 4m. I've tried a few places and finally settled here. Their teachers are with great energy. We listen to their music all the time from their website. The stuff they prepare for parents are very neat. I am picking up a few Mandarin words after 5 months of singalong. Love the classes!

She's…read moreturning eight months old next week so I think we have been there long enough to write a review. I absolutely love the daycare. The staffs and teachers are always so friendly and warm. The teachers at the infant class are very patient and attend to the needs of each baby. For a first time mom, this is extremely important (it's not easy to entrust anyone with my daughter at the beginning). In addition to attend to the babies' basic needs, they also exposed the babies with arts, music and other activities to stimulate their development. Overall, we are very pleased with First Steps.

The school is brand new and is a clean, safe and orderly environment that I feel very comfortable leaving my child in. The kids love each other and the teachers. They go on daily outings to the park, library and local shops to learn about the community. My child is happy going to school every day and is constantly talking about what he's learning that week (weather, colors, seasons, letters,...) or what adventure he's been on with his friends. I also feel a sense of family from the staff as well as the other parents. This is a very sweet school that all parents of young children should know about! I highly recommend First Steps on Clinton.

We explored many options in the neighborhood and I'm convinced that Playgarden is the most nurturing, caring and stimulating environment for little ones. She's learned so much and loves her teachers. It has a strong literary focus and the kids get exposed to music, movement, science, nutrition and letters every week. The teachers work so hard and always impress me with the lessons for children. You can also tell that teachers love their students and their job. From experience, I can say that that is not always the case. We also love getting to take advantage of the indoor playground, especially in bad weather. Can't recommend enough!

There are 2 teachers in each class and the curriculum is divided into English and mandarin. My daughter moved up 2 levels ever since she got there and all the teachers were very nice and supportive. They do a lot of arts and crafts in class and they get posted on the school walls. Tuition is a lot for kids below age 2 and after age 2 the tuition is few hundreds cheaper. The kids day to day activities, meals, and bowel urine movements are tracked and recorded on their mobile application that parents can see. The school also records and takes pictures of the kids' activities on their application. The school also hosts events like movie knights and holiday celebration after school with parents so it's very fulfilling that parents can engage with their children for these events. So far my daughter is learning a lot and a lot of discipline instilled in the classes. The school also has a room full of strollers where parents can park them until it's time for pick up at the end of the day.
