My daughter has been attending pre-school at Ms. Gretchens since the beginning of the year and we…read morecould not be happier. She has made great progress in learning how different things work, cultures throughout the world, fine motor skills, interacting with others, gardening, and science. The montessori method has really worked for her education. Every few weeks the school focuses on a different continent. While learning about Africa, the students made African food, learned about African music, and the animals that are indiginous to Africa. Every day my daughter was excited to tell me something new about Africa. Now she knows all of her continents at the age of 3 which blows my mind. In addition to Ms. Gretchens great curriculum, there's a lot of learning about nature and outdoor play time. Ms. Gretchen has an excellent garden where the kids have planted tomatoes, eggplants, squash, basil, potatoes, sunflowers, and onions and the list keeps going on. Ms. Gretchen has a policy of following what the kids wnat to do and not forcing them to do and letting them learn as they go. First thing when my daughter arrives she usually wants to go play on the swing or look at the flowers or play on the jungle gym to which Ms. Gretchen always says, "Yes". I really cannot say what a wonderful experience it has been for my daughter to attend pre-school at Ms. Gretchens'. There is no doubt in my mind about what a nurturing environment my daughter is in.

So much that my child spent 4 great years at Owlets and we all cried a bit when we moved out of state and had to leave. I can't say enough about the warm, family-like environment. Teachers and classmates became a second family for my child, and families were really encouraged to get to know each other through events and gatherings. It felt like Owlets was a support system even outside of school hours. We loved the balance between structure and free play and really felt like Little Owlets prepared my daughter very well socially and knowledge-wise for kindergarten - the transition to elementary school was a breeze. My child LOVED the Montessori-inspired activity time and still talks about it. And there were so many creative and fun activities - cooking, yoga....We loved that outdoor time was emphasized in all but the worst weather and the kids got in quality outside play and exercise time. Oh, and the food was so good - I found myself envious of my child's lunches.

That was the first thing on my list when I was searching for a childcare for my son. CHECK! I personally observed the providers and how they take care of my child and other children. Happy to put another CHECK right here! Aliya and Lola are very patient and nurturing. They have plenty of teaching materials and incorporate lessons into play every day. The 'Little Owlets" is my number one choice in the area! Oh, almost forgot - the food is all homemade and very delicious! I asked to try :)

I'm not sure if parents who leave their children there know what goes on during the day, and that is scary, considering what I've learned and what others who have worked there are saying. I'm sure that there are inflated accounts based on the employees bad experiences, but I wouldn't discount most of what they are saying. I believe parents should be able to request to see random video footage to see for themselves what takes place there, for ease of mind.
