My son started at Ahwatukee Foothills Montessori (AFM) when he just turned three years old, and…read morenow--at the age of four--we're relocating out of state. In those two years, he has truly blossomed. The school has provided an incredibly loving, nurturing, peaceful, and enriching environment that supports not only academics but also social and emotional growth. His teacher, Ms. Lynn, has been extraordinary--gentle, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development. Ms. Meaghan, the director, leads with both heart and high standards, ensuring every child receives exceptional care and education. My child has also benefited from Spanish lessons with the wonderful Sra. Dolores, gaining confidence in both English and Spanish. Moreover, AFM offers this level of quality education at a significantly more affordable tuition compared to other Montessori schools in the area. They have not only taught my son--they have loved him. This is something I will never forget or be able to repay. I wholeheartedly recommend AFM to any family seeking a school that truly nurtures both the heart and mind of children while fully supporting their parents.

Long time staff, prompt communication (esp during 2020), effective curriculum, and total transparency are only a few things that contribute to the trust we have!

We are so thankful for the impact it has had on our child's early development!

I am so sad I had to enroll my daughter in another preschool bc I switched jobs and started working longer hours Some of the girls have my number and one of the girls that was there babysits my daughter! Miss Alecia is amazing and my daughter absolutely LOVES her! When I would drop off and if Alecia was there she would run up to her so fast and I was non-existent lol! I always recommend this daycare to my friends with little ones. If I ever switch jobs or get a new schedule, I will definitely come back if they have availability bc my little girl made so many relationships and friends, even with the big kids. Thank you Roz for an unforgettable experience for my daughter and I. We will miss everyone so much!

They have taught all four…read moreof our children, and the love, care, and professionalism they've shown our family has been incredible. Our kindergartener was exceptionally well prepared, both academically and emotionally, thanks to the strong foundation they provided. But what truly sets East Valley Learning Center apart is that they go far beyond academics. They intentionally nurture social, emotional, and developmental skills, helping children grow with confidence and kindness. Every teacher we've encountered is genuinely passionate about what they do. They don't just teach--they truly love and care for each child. Their patience, compassion, and commitment to reflecting the love of Jesus are evident in the way they interact with the children every single day. We are so grateful to have been part of the East Valley Learning Center family and wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a preschool that invests in the whole child. Thank you for making such a lasting impact on our children's lives!

What I didn't expect was him to start learning letter sounds, sight words, addition and subtraction! I was blown away with what he was learning. Nikki and Sheri far exceed your normal preschool curriculum. They do a great job learning your child's interest and allowing them to explore and develop in areas they love while still doing lessons in core areas. Hands down recommend them to any and all parents looking for a preschool option for their child. The only downside is for parents needing a full day of coverage. They do not have extended hours as they are not a daycare. But if you can make their hours work for you, do it!

My kids still talking about what he did at Wilkins and how much the miss their teacher and those fun projects that they did until today, and that means a whole world for them! I highly recommend the Wilkins for the parents who are looking for a fun educational, great teacher and great environment.

He would arrive everyday to class in tears, so we knew we had to find something new for him and that's when a family friend recommended Wilkins and it was the best decision we could make.

I was terrified to put my daughter In school as a first time mom. I actually couldn't handle the anxiety so I pulled her out after I was sobbing all day the first day she was gone. Well, penny and the staff were not only empathetic but made me feel comfortable doing things on my own time table. So when I decided to try again a week later I was welcomed with open arms. The quality of the teachers here feels more like a family. Everyone in the school helps each other. Miss Jazzy, Miss Caitlin, really every single teacher I have ever met has made me feel like home. They all know your child and love your child. Miss Wulan and Miss Ann Marie were her home room teachers and wow. These woman.. they don't make them like this anymore! Positive, loving, personal, engaged are only a few ways to describe them. They have been absolutely instrumental to Logan's growth and experience. She has thrived and become a social butterfly. These teachers never look tired and are always up beat. Ms Chrystal at the front desk always welcomes you with warmth and familiarity and never judged how many incident reports my daughter had. I was always met with comfort and understanding whenever I was worried about something my Daughter had done! And the school is owned and managed by Penny who is a GEM of a human being. These women are loving, smart, and are valued so much. They deserve the world and I'm so grateful to have found them. I'm forever in debt to this school and all it has done for myself and my daughter. Also, they know how much I love them and never once asked for a review. But if you are a nervous mom, or want an honest take, please ask penny for my number and I'd be happy to walk you through how they made this experience incredible.

We absolutely love The Goddard School of Gilbert (at East Germann). Even though there were a few…read moreoptions closer to us, we chose this preschool because the atmosphere here just felt different, in the best way. From the very first visit, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. You can tell the team really loves what they do. Our main teacher is always so happy around the children, you can feel her joy, and it really stood out compared to other places we toured. All the teachers are kind and smiling, and they take the time to connect with both the children and the parents. It's such a warm, supportive environment. Literally everyone is so nice! Another huge factor for us was safety and peace of mind. As a parent, being able to drop off your child without worrying is everything, and this preschool makes that possible. The classroom ratios are low, the environment is always clean, the sign-in process is secure, and they're thoughtful about food and nutrition. We've also had no issues with recurring colds or back-to-back illnesses, which has been such a relief. All of that makes a big difference. They've also been incredibly flexible, willing to work with us to make sure our child feels comfortable, whether that means bringing a favorite stuffy from home or making food & drink accommodations. They even have an easy, healthy lunch ordering system, which has been such a plus for our busy mornings. There are always fun activities and themes planned, plus special events like Splash Days and the petting zoo! We get daily updates (naps, meal times) and photos, which we look forward to every day. Our child is always excited to go, and it's clear the other children are happy too. This location has such a cozy, close-knit feel, and the whole team is just wonderful. We're so thankful we found this place, it truly feels like a second home. Special thank you to Ms. Sydni, Ms. Crystal, Ms. Maressa, Ms. Diane, Ms. Caitlin, Ms. Jazmine, Ms. Mahjoba, and Ms. Penny, you've all made such a difference for our family
