MPCP is great for kids socializing but also helped me meet other young families in the area. The preschool makes you feel really connected with the other families and with the larger community. The families run the school (the coop model) and this creates opportunity to truly shape your child's education. Teacher Shannon is amazing! Kids really connect with her. My oldest just finished the 3/4s class and I know he will miss Shannon so much when fall comes around and he is not in Coop(luckily I have two more kiddos to send through)!

The Valley School has been the MOST warm, loving and supportive environment for our whole family. Our kids both love school, absolutely adore their teachers and have made fabulous friends.

Both of my kids are truly jazzed about learning and I love that they get deep into their work, especially when it means that they come home covered head to toe in dirt! I can't recommend Valley highly enough.

Our 2 daughters have spent 4 years there enjoying the Montessori inspired learning activities, reading program, dance sessions, field trips, and playground time. The kind and caring teachers have been so important and instrumental in the development of our children in preparing them for elementary school. It truly feels like you are part of a family, and we've formed what are sure to be lifelong friendships with many of the other families we met there. Our daughters love to reminisce about all of the fond memories they made there. It really is a special place!

I also send my 3 year old son to the Pipers Creek location, and Miss Lucy is the best! My son loves going to school every single day, and already knows his ABC's and 123's.

Miss Lucy is such a passionate teacher and the absolute best teacher/person you could imagine your 3 year old spending their day with. I have nothing but gratitude to all the great teachers who work here. Thank you Miss Molly and Mr Mike.

The teachers are educated Native Speakers, my kids get the true flavor, accent, and understanding of the culture. Even though we don't speak Spanish at our home, I love to hear my kids speaking Spanish with each other and saying things that I know they picked up here at the school. It's amazing to also have my kids reading and writing in Spanish before they could even read or write in English. It's truly a unique school. My kids come home and they have nothing but great things to talk about, they're excited to come to school!

The teachers are incredibly caring and truly invested in each child. Ms. Lily has built an amazing program with a great balance of learning, creativity, and fun. What really makes SLC special is how personal it feels. It's a close-knit group of teachers where you actually know everyone -- not a big, impersonal center. That warmth shows in everything they do. The activities are engaging and thoughtful, and even now our kids keep asking if they can go back and visit their teachers. We're very grateful for our time there and highly recommend it.

The teachers and staff at SLC are wonderful; they really were "our village" for those years. I appreciated their focus on play-based learning and social emotional growth.

The children are all supported as individuals working together learning social, emotional, language and academic skills. The teachers meet each child where they are developmentally, so each child has equal opportunity to grow into themselves with confidence. I appreciate the diversity of the students, and the fact that Noemi speaks native Spanish. This school has broadened my child's cultural perspective who now admits that we do not speak "normal", but that our primary experience is in English just like others' primary experience is in Spanish. I only wish we had another year!

I highly recommend Begnnings for your child's care and enrichment.
