Always quick to answer an email or phone call. I've dealt with other nursery schools in the area that were not nearly as loving and nuturing... I'm very happy we decided to send our daughter here. She is learning so much more than my son did at another local nursery school.

My daughter attended one year and I had to pull her out due to childcare issues. However I made…read moresure to send in a deposit for the following year and Mrs. Alice assured me that my daughter would automatically be enrolled the following school year. She also cashed my check. I spent over three months trying to reach her, I sent emails and left messages with Christine in the office to make sure my daughter was all set for September-October. I continued to call her as the school opened up and no response. I finally got a hold of her and she gave me hundred excuses I was extremely disappointed at her and the fact that she took my deposit without confirming my child's enrollment is a disgrace. This makes me question the crying and all the speeches she gave to the parents when attending meetings on how deeply she cares for the children. My daughter repeatedly asked me and cried that she wanted to go back. Mrs. Alice seems extremely hypocritical to me. She didn't even seem apologetic to me and blew me off when I mentioned how many times I reached out to her and She couldn't explain to me why my check was deposited if she had no intention of enrolling my daughter. To the parents - if you've been calling here and trying to speak to someone to enroll your child my word of advice move onto another school! Don't waste your precious time! My daughter is now in a wonderful Prek program now. Don't underestimate other schools in the area!

She would call me stupid and ugly all time time. There was a LOT of public shaming and yelling this woman is pure evil. I wasn't 100% perfect potty trained at that age and had an accident in the bathroom, and she got so angry I was scared to admit it was me. She forced another child, whose name I remember very clearly because she would abuse him and cause him to cry ALL the time, to clean it up. Sad to hear she's still kicking and In business and abusing children still. An investigation needs to be done on her. Unless you want your kid to be traumatized for the rest of their life and responsible for years worth of therapy do not send them here. Also the classroom has not changed at all in 23 years. The cubbies in the back would fall right on top of the kids they are not secured. They do not care about anything, minimal effort on all fronts when providing for children

My son went to Montessori Minds a few years back and it was a FANTASTIC experience for our whole…read morefamily. The school itself is clean and bright with plenty of room for the children to explore, learn, and play. Jackie Krumm and her caring, attentive staff take every opportunity to make the learning environment stimulating, fun, and creative and are always thinking up new ways to keep the kids interested and engaged. Our son loved the school and the staff so much that there were times that he wouldn't want to leave when we came to pick him up because he was having too much fun! Bottom line, if you're looking for a preschool for your child where they can learn and grow in a safe and loving environment, Montessori Minds Preschool is the place for you!

We have had a wonderful experience at every stage and have always felt complete trust in their caregivers. The teachers are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive, and the directors do a great job ensuring a safe environment from maintaining strong hygiene practices to carefully managing who enters and exits the building. Most importantly, both of my kids were always happy to go in each day and even happier when I picked them up (sometimes they didn't want to leave!). It's clear they felt safe, supported, and excited to learn. I can't say enough good things about Loving and Learning. Knowing my children were safe, happy, and in such a positive learning environment meant so much to our family. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their little ones. In terms of pricing, they are aligned with other facilities. I looked at several other places before deciding where to send my children, and cost was not a deciding factor.

They really care about the children and the parents. Lisa is the director and I've never met anyone that cares more about a family than her. The staff in all the rooms are so caring and wonderful with the kids. Miss Jean in the infant room has been taking care of the infants for over 20 years... you can't get that kind of experience anywhere else. Miss Alex and Miss Stephanie are fantastic with the children. The kids just love them. Danielle , Anna , Denise have all been there for over 10 years.. This is the place you want your children ... The experienced staff , the one on one attention is invaluable. I will always recommend PKC.

He loved every minute of it! He would come home every day when he was toddler with a huge smile on his face from a day of fun, educational play, he would be tired out ready for dinner, bath and bedtime. Every morning he would jump up and was ready for the day at school again! Miss Lisa the director, I've known for over 23 years, since day 1 of my son going there! She is the most generous, caring individual you will ever meet! She is the mother hen to all the children in that school and all the staff that she leads! In the 23 years Ive know her, every day I've seen her, she ALWAYS has a smile on her face ALWAYS! My saddest day was when my son graduated out of PKC and was off to Pre-K. He was leaving Miss Lisa and her wonderful staff, his first best friends, most of who he grew up with since he was1 but he was ready and more advanced than most Pre-K kids going into the public school system! 10 years later Lisa welcomed me back with open arms when I had my daughter Bella! OMG I was so happy to be back home at Precious Kids... this time Bella was there from 6 weeks old...until she graduated at 4 years old! my little girl IS WHO SHE IS TODAY BECAUSE OF PKC. She is CONFIDENT she walks around with her head held high, INTELLIGENT, she was given those early education tools that she wouldn't have gotten sitting home watching nick Jr., SHES SOCIAL, she knew how to make friends by walking into a room, Bella started off as a confident educated princess there and she's now a 16 year old Beauty queen still confidently beautiful with high 90's at a prestigious private school being offered academic scholarships already from colleges. Most would attribute this to their elementary schools, I give full credit to precious kids where she started! Its all where your child begins! where your child learns who they want to be! And here I am again 12 years later with a 3rd child as a student in PKC!! My little MJ didnt get to start as early as Bella because of Covid... but he did start at 2! And like most kids that were stuck at home with their mommys and daddys for 2 years during quarantine, hes still adjusting a little bit to socializing and the know hows of the world, but Lisa and her staff are so great and well versed in dealing with the kids coming out of this pandemic world! and it's such a fragile thing but they are children and I wouldn't bring the most important things in my life just anywhere! PKC is family so I entrust my family to my family! What I love about Lisa is the care and the knowledge she has... that every child is their own person. My MJ marches to the beat of his own drum. And she expressed to me that MJ needs a little push so she is doing everything possible on there end to provide that push... and she has helped me to learn how to help my son... not many places would take the time, especially at a daycare, but Lisa and her staff do FOR EVERY CHILD! Miss Stephanie, Miss Alex, Miss Barbera, Miss Brittany, Miss Danielle, Miss Monica, Miss Theresa... All of you are leaving imprints in all of these children... they will remember what you've taught them and how you've helped them grow! I cant thank the staff enough for the 25 years of my life at precious kids... but I can promise to tell as many parents as possible how wonderful this place is, and how the world will be a better place because of the children that grow from here! We love you guys so much! And I think this is it for me..(MJ being my last LOL) but no worries, I'm sure Brandon (My oldest) will be bringing his in just a few years. :). So watch out for the legacies, from Brandon and Bella and so on and so forth because we will continue to keep coming!!!! And I'm sure Ms. Lisa will still be there everyday with a smile on her face, even on her worse day. :D

They are the perfect balance that my daughter needs throughout the day. There is free play, structure and teamwork. They party and celebrate the holidays. It's an affordable family/friendly atmosphere. We have been here 1 year (in the 2 year and 3 year old classrooms). We even do the summer camp and that's cool too. My daughter will also be here for pre-K. The teaching and projections and social interaction is top notch. Highly recommended. The tuition is affordable. They are closed for all holidays/school closings.
