We love, love, love this school! As soon as we arrived for our tour, we could just feel it was the…read moreright fit for our 2 and 4 year old. This lovely building and playground is nestled right up against the fields off Montaño Rd, behind the church and set away from the busy traffic. The outdoor play area is spacious and has a lot of variety - staff told us it was just newly remodeled before this school year started. The classroom is big, bright, open, and beautiful! They have so many play-directed, exploratory learning activities and stations - the learning/teaching method is absolutely ideal. They even have a quiet space for kiddos who need a break from stimulation where they can quietly spend some time alone if needed; I thought that was an incredibly thoughtful and empathetic way to support children who may be more shy or have social anxieties. My kids absolutely love this school- their peers and their teachers. This was our third try, looking for the right fit for our son. We feel so lucky and blessed that they had space for us this year. This is my daughter's first year in preschool and it is so wonderful knowing that the class structure encourages mixed-age grouping and integration- for big chunks of the day, the younger kids can freely interact and engage with the older kids - which is proven to support healthy development:) then in other parts of the day, they break off into similar age groups for planned curriculum to teach to their specific levels/needs. Child to teacher ratio is low, so individual needs and attention are easily met, and everyone builds stronger relationships. We have felt a part of a real community here, not just passing through. Every staff member is warm and kind, and makes effort to engage us as parents in a meaningful way. I highly recommend anyone with preschool age children to take a tour, meet the staff and decide for yourself. They fill up fast, and you might get on a waiting list- but it's worth the effort to know you have found one of the best schools in the city to care for and educate your little ones.

No school is without problems but I find the staff here do their very best to tune into the children and have activities that easily allow the children to be excited about school. My oldest just left and I wish we could've stayed longer! She was already reading in wonderful Ms. Najat's class and able to count to 1000! She's a five star teacher. All the teachers truly love what they do. The food is prepared there in the kitchen, the facility is kept clean, and the staff is very friendly! Drop off can be a doozy but I have never had to worry about my children here.

Springstone staff has become like family. My son has been going to Springstone since he was a year…read moreold. He started out with Mrs. Julie then had Ms. Karissa and then moved up to have Ms. Eva. My son is now 5 and he has graduated but each of these employees are still with Springstone. The employees are amazing and go above and beyond to teach the kids lesson needed for everyday. Their Montessori curriculum is taught daily, in all ages. Kids are taught love, respect and discipline. The classroom sizes are small and the teachers all work together. Ms. Melissa, Ben, and all other members of the staff have always been there to help. I highly recommend Springstone and would choose this school over any other school.

I can't say enough good things about the Peppermint school! Both of my kids go to this school, and…read morewe love it. The teachers are caring, loving, and funny, my kids love them so much! They go to school happy every single day, they are learning so many songs and poems, they do projects and activities, music and yoga, take a look at their Facebook page to see how smiling the kids are there. We went to a very famous different daycare in the past, it was fancier for sure, but we had such a horrible experience with the teachers' turnover and the relational coldness. We were unsure about moving to this small school, but we could not have made a better decision, the atmosphere is warm and happy, it is like a second family for all of us. I can't recommend this school enough!

The staff is phenomenal and the program is well balanced with age appropriate play and education. The teachers are engaged, warm, and caring. My children are learning so much, and they talk about their teachers and what they do in school very often at home. Thank you to the Peppermint, we feel very fortunate to be a part of this school. I can't recommend this school highly enough!

This establishment is extremely closed minded and transphobic. I wouldn't recommend this place to…read moreanyone. A complete waste of money, time, resources, and emotional/mental energy. Your child is not safe here. The staff is not properly trained due to higher ups prioritizing money over their students and staff. Linda is by far the worst school higher up i have ever encountered in a school system. She doesn't investigate crucial issues in her facility. She does not have anyones interest but her own in mind. She refused to have anyone answer why my daughter was refused access to their facility even though they are staffed and she has a contract with the state. A "I dont know." Is unacceptable for their line of work. Linda much rather punish you, your child, and her staff for her own incompetence. Please reconsider enrolling your child else where before here. Sincerely, a very concerned parent.

She has thrived since attending Christina Kent and is a whole different child. All the staff and teachers at Christina Kent are amazing. I am so thankful to Theresa, Andrea and Gabby who are some of the best humans I have met. They are so patient, kind and treat our children as their own. Sandra, Allison and Andrew are part of the staff and are also so amazing. It's a great community and their approach to help raising our young children is nothing short of exceptional. I have nothing but great things to say about the school and if anything wish they continued onto elementary.

The office staff was very helpful in showing me the facility, helping me to fill out the paperwork, and navigate the enrollment process. The building is easily missed from the outside, however once inside, you feel the warmth and love for the children from everyone from the cooks to the teachers. They truly love these kids. The teachers are kind, empathetic, patient, and treat each child with respect. My daughter loves her class and her teachers. They teach farm to table and family style dining, which is reflected at home. My daughter has tried a large variety of foods and enjoys almost anything I make now. They are intentional with their fieldtrips and their classroom activities. She is beyond ready for kindergarten, and I am very sad to leave the Christina Keny Community. I highly recommend this school!!

I was supersized I read so many negative reviews of this place. I will say prior to my son…read moreattending this place we had the worst experience with the public school preschool program and special education classroom. At the previous school my child was hit by a teacher and we created an investigation. So I wanted my child to be in an educational system in which I could have access to video monitoring services and one that held teachers accountable. So I as any parents of a little one I was skeptical of every place that I went to observe and I ended liking kiddie academy because of their philosophy, rules, and how they hold teachers accountable. My child has a few couples of days getting used to his new school and he did bite a child one day and got suspended. However in no time he learned to get a long with the rest of the children and be friends with children. I saw my child grow as the little butterfly he is and be confident in his social skills and educational journey. He was able to graduate from pre-K with his peers and do the summer program as well. He loved it so much that me that he is in kinder he tells me he misses Kiddie academy friends and teachers. The team is amazing and wonderful and I will forever be grateful they took care of my little one as one of theirs.

Despite the multiple discussions with management and staff, my 2 year old son continued to be bitten. The management had an attitude of "kids will be kids" and not an attitude of how to make sure he and the other children were not bitten. One or two bites may be a toddler behavior but not 32. The lack of care, or plan put in place was the reason we had to disenroll. It was not fair to my son to go to school everyday in that type of environment. The only reason I didn't give it one star was because there were a couple teachers I liked at the school.​
