Now in kindergarten, she's been described as one of the most prepared students in her class, and I credit the strong foundation she received at So Big. Miss Mary helped her become a confident, independent child who is ready to learn, take on challenges, and believe in herself. I don't think she would be nearly as prepared without the love and guidance she received from Miss Mary and the So Big family. As a mom, there's no greater gift than knowing your child is ready for this next chapter. I will always be grateful to Miss Mary and So Big.

It's exactly everything a preschool should be: cozy, inviting, space, educational toys, animals, and most importantly, the sweetest teacher who genuinely loves and lives for her students and her job. I also absolutely love co-op preschool; allowing parents to participate in the class. The friends and community built not only create an even better environment for the children but it's not something you get from these mainstream "daycares". This wonderful preschool is absolutely PRICELESS.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

Before you decided to enroll you kiddos here you might want to make sure they meet the public…read moreschool or whatever school you plan on enrolling them in cut off dates for kindergarten & 1st grade. She will tell you that she keeps them thought Kindergarten & they will transition into 1st grade. Well,this is only true if you kiddo has a DOB that's before September 1st. If it's anytime after they will have to enroll as a kindergartner. Also kindergarten is not a requirement! Once they turn 6yrs of age they must be enrolled somewhere and the school district should have record of this. Pearlite isn't registered under the school district. It's License as a in home daycare ONLY. Do yourself a favor and enroll your kids in either a T-K program or Kindergarten. Plus all of the curriculum is old & out dated! She isn't t current on what kids are learning today, not much STEM going on more ABC's and lots of geography & songs back when people owned slaves!

A long long pending review…read more.. A big big Thank-you to miss Indira and her team for having a day care which is a Awe-some... she is such a humble and a positive person.... As my daughter turned 1 yr old, we started sending her to a different day care and for that entire one year she cried not even a single day missed. And the answer from that day care I use to rec was she will get use to it.. it was heartbreaking every time I use to drop off my daughter.. As soon as my daughter turned two, I started searching for a new day care.. and lucky me, my stars were shining and I landed in Pearlite house of children day care... had an initial talk with Miss Indira and the day one my daughter was smiling and giggling with her.. It was such a relief... Now at the age of 4, my daughter still goes to Miss Indira and everyday is a learning/ playing day for her.. Miss Indira take cares of her each day care kid as her own kid.. Everyday she communicates every single activity of the kid verbally to each parent.. she is such a owesome teacher.. and does her job with core heart.. Even though we haven't decided on our next kid but next daycare is final already.. Thank you So much Miss INdira!

We just removed our child from this preschool. I sent them the below message yesterday. The…read moredirector called me this morning, and told me that it was an "honest mistake" by the teacher, because she didn't know about our "situation". The reason she didn't know? The director hadn't told her, because it's a "private matter" and "not her business". Our family is not a secret. * came home today with two Father's Day crafts. This is very disappointing, as I thought we made it clear that she does not have a father, and instead has two moms.  It seems like it would have been a simple change to write/print Mama instead of dad on the inside/outside of the card, and at the bottom of the tool chest, and the graphic could have been left off.  If no one knew what name to use, Mom would have worked, or you could have asked us.  This especially bothers me because when our older child went to a religious preschool, they still ensured that they used the correct name on these types of items.  This is not only an issue because she has two moms. What would be done if the child had a single mother by choice, or if their father had passed away?

From the moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that this was not just a daycare, but a loving and nurturing environment for children. We have been with Ms. Risa for over a year and my kids have learned so much and have had great interactions with the other kids. She is diligent on working with the older kids on their school work. She was a teacher before taking on running a day care which shows. What sets this daycare apart is the genuine affection and attention Ms. Risa showers upon each child. It's heartwarming to see the bond she's formed with my little ones, providing not just care, but also emotional support and encouragement.

Their extensive training in early childhood education and development ensure that each child receives excellent curriculum and instruction while also supporting each child's unique abilities and personalities. The grounds of the school are fantastic, with plenty of room to run and play for the children. When my oldest was ready for preschool, I toured many different schools in the area. None had the special warmness and "home away from home" atmosphere that Clayton Children's Center has. The school offers transportation to and from the local elementary school and is open from 7 AM to 6 PM. My children never want to leave, and I am always confident that they are safe and well cared for.

Absolutely loved our experience at Hilltop Christian Preschool! Highlights: This preschool is safe,…read morefun, inclusive, and filled with tons of faith based learning. My son attended Hilltop Christian Preschool for two years, giving him the opportunity to participate in both their Pre K and TK programs. Before Hilltop, he had never attended a formal school setting, so watching his growth over those two years was truly incredible. The teachers are absolutely phenomenal (Mrs Gilary, Mrs Tina, Mrs. Dorothy and Mrs. Alejandra), and there are so many reasons why. They genuinely have a love for teaching and for the children they serve. They encourage independence, nurture each child's individual personality, and create creative, engaging programs that allow children to learn naturally and organically. They also provide so many special experiences throughout the year, including multiple performances that give the children opportunities to build confidence and shine. When my son first started, he had HUGE feelings and very few words in his toolbox to express them. I watched the teachers meet him with patience, compassion, encouragement, and consistency. Little by little, they helped him find his voice, become more independent, and develop the confidence to navigate new experiences. By the time he started kindergarten, he was confident, reading, expressing himself beautifully, and leading conversations. That transformation speaks volumes about the love, dedication, and intentional teaching he received at Hilltop. I will forever be grateful to the teachers and staff at Hilltop Christian Preschool for helping lay such a strong foundation for my son. They didn't just prepare him academically for kindergarten, they helped him grow socially, emotionally, and personally. Hilltop will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and truly special preschool experience.

Our experience with the school began positively (we have spent 5 years with this school in total)…read more We did have concerns about bullying, but the principal at the time made a genuine effort to address them. After a change in leadership, our experience began to shift. We initially hoped the changes would be positive, but over time, we became increasingly concerned. Our family believes in God, though we do not identify as Christian. At times, we felt we were viewed differently and excluded from the school community. Our children were not perfect, and we have always tried to guide them and help them learn from their mistakes. However, we felt staff continued to judge them based on past behaviour, even as they were making progress with our support. We were also concerned about the school's demerit system and the possibility of expulsion after a certain number of demerits. We understood that teachers could assign demerits without the principal's knowledge, and in our experience, some seemed to be given for relatively minor reasons--for example, after a teacher overheard a conversation between our children and their friends and disapproved of it. Overall, we felt our concerns were not taken seriously and that our children were not given a fair opportunity to move forward. After we announced our decision to leave, the staff's attitude toward our family seemed noticeably colder. On our children's final day, a staff member asked them, "Why are you even here?" We found the comment hurtful and inappropriate, particularly on a day that was already difficult for our children. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage prospective families to carefully reconsider whether this school is the right choice for them.
