When our children first started at Little Acorns, their teachers helped the transition go very smoothly due to their efforts and support. The teachers communicate with parents at drop-off/pick-up as well as in a daily email with updates and photos about the classroom's activities. The director, Libbi, provides excellent, timely communication about upcoming events, activities, and updates. We couldn't be happier with our children's experience at Little Acorns as they always share about how much fun they have at school each day! I highly recommend Little Acorns to families looking for childcare, from infants all the way through preschoolers.

We're finishing up our fourth year at PGDS, and my son is going to start soon (my nephew is there…read moretoo). I can't say enough good things about this place (and I even waited four years to write a review just to be sure). For starters, though, there is a good chance you need to know this: the preschools in this area are fantastic. Your child will be fine, and you're doing a good job. I looked at 12 schools before choosing this place for my daughter who has a September birthday and misses the MCPS cut off (little did I realize how big a deal this is). I almost didn't consider this school because it has a Christian affiliation and my family is half Muslim and also not religious. Surprisingly, I found this school to be just the right amount of religious (do charity, be a good person, take pics with Santa) and non of the crazy things I thought it would be (like the documentary Jesus Camp). I was also surprised to find that the student body was very ethnically and even a little religiously diverse. When I was looking at schools, I really wanted a preschool as opposed to a daycare, and that is what this school is. My daughter would start class in September and stay there and have the same teacher all year. (Camp was more flexible, but we also loved that experience too!) The teacher retention at this school is incredible. Another thing, they are not strict about potty training by a young age in order for your child to move up a grade. (This is an important thing, but I didn't realize it would be when I was looking at schools.) So, back to my point about the September birthday, this school has a fabulous transitional kindergarten for kiddos born too late to go to MCPS, but too old to be in pre-K again. It was the perfect thing for my kiddo, and I'm grateful that her teachers (in all the grades) focused on not just learning but fun, kindness, understanding emotions and being a good community member. The families that attend here are fun too, and an added bonus to my daughter making friends is that I did too.

My son has attended PGDS from 3 years old - Transitional Kindergarten. My daughter is currently…read moreattending Pre-K here. I am so glad I found this school. The most important factor to me is that I feel comfortable leaving my kids here and I know that they are in good trusted hands. All the teachers they have had so far are amazing. Our favorites are Miss Gina, Leslie, Indira and Megan. The office staff (Bekah, Jackie and Angela) are very accommodating to our needs. Miss Karen who runs the aftercare is a gem. My children come home with a good balance of learning and playtime. There is a good mixture of History, Geography, Math, Science, and Reading in the curriculum. Their facility is clean. Their tuition rate is competitive as well. My daughter gets extremely excited when she knows she is going to school. The only con is that their Spring and Winter breaks do not align with MCPS.

We attended two other preschools in the area prior to moving to Great Falls and ending up at Creche. I can say without hesitation that Creche offers the perfect balance of hand's on learning combined with an emphasis on learning through play. The teachers are warm, nurturing and collaborative. My daughter struggles sometimes with emotional regulation. I speak with her teacher regularly about her progress. We share strategies and observations and have teamed together to collaborate on her success. In addition to the positive overall learning environment, Creche offers a strong sense of community for the parents, which is unique. The school sponsors social activities throughout the year and the parents have many opportunities to get to know each other, which is beneficial to the kids. My older daughter left well prepared for kindergarten and I have no doubt that my younger daughter will be as well.

It is clear that the teachers have been instructed not to interact with the parents too openly. Everything goes through the owner, including pictures of your kid, which you receive a day late.

The owner is communicative but diplomatic, and clearly a businesswoman. Over time, it becomes clear that first and foremost this is a source of income. The business comes first, kids come second. The building is nice. And so is the playground in the back. The rooms are clean and tidy. Location is convenient.

It has been so much easier for me to drop him off and be away from him knowing that he is in good hands. Not only does my son love it there (sometimes he doesn't want to go home!), but I can also tell the staff really cares about him. Along the way he has had some personal challenges that have come up and the teachers and director have worked hard with us to help him. They have been very accommodating and supportive through some difficult times. We are really going to miss GHES when my son graduates to kindergarten. As a single parent I feel blessed to have my son in a school that feels like an extension of our own family.
