I would give this school 0 star if I could…read more This school is untrustworthy! I had toured the school couple times, completed all required documents and paid $100 fee to make sure we would have a spot for 2023-2024 school year. Before the new school year started, I emailed the director, asked when to go to school, the director said one teacher left and they were trying to hire a new teacher, asked us to wait, no apology at all. After three weeks, I called the school again, they were still saying we have to wait until they got a new teacher, and they would call me back and enroll my kid. Now, a month and half passed, I never received a call or an email from them. I checked their website, guess what, they already hired a new teacher! But didn't tell us and enroll my kid! so I toured many other preschools and there are long waiting list to get in! I have to quit my job and stay home with my kid! They RUIN my whole schedule!! If they have a shortage of teachers, shouldn't they give a notice ahead of time? How can they just TELLING you right before the school starts! And they already hired a new teacher, why didn't enroll my kid cause he is not full time? OMG! So disgusting and disappointing!

Both of my kids attended St Michael's preschool. We absolutely loved it. All the teachers are…read moreamazing and so supportive. My daughter was attending pre K during the pandemic and had to bring a computer every day to do online school. They put a classroom in place to support all the kids who had online learning. My son did pre K with st michaels since his birthday was outside of the time to attend public school. The difference in my kids is wild. My daughter did public pre k and with the online learning has a really hard time still in second grade. My son did the program offered at day care and is so advanced for kindergarten. The teacher put their own pre k curriculum together and my son learned so much. I can not recomend this school enough. They are so loving and kind and really teach the children the same principles.

The Montessori approach really shines--teachers encourage independence, kindness, and respect while keeping kids engaged and curious. The environment feels like one big family.

My daughter has gone from being a wild little one to such a sweet, caring child thanks to the example set here. Highly recommend this school!

I came to know this school through the Bay Church, but my experience left me disillusioned. The…read morestaff and teachers may claim to be Christian, yet their actions often reflect the opposite. Judgment is constant, cliques run deep, and teachers play favorites while showing little patience for children. Instead of encouraging growth, they silence voices and push kids to mature too quickly. The endless fundraising became unbearable--it seemed like every week brought another demand for money. And the Class Dojo app, which should have been a simple communication tool, turned into something that felt more like Instagram. I eventually deleted it out of frustration. What's most troubling is the disconnect between what's preached and what's practiced. Faith is spoken, but not lived. As Matthew 7:20 reminds us, "By their fruit you will recognize them." Parents deserve to see the reality: behind the polished image, this school fosters hypocrisy and division, not the values it claims to uphold.

Our family's experience with the preschool program at this school was exceptional. The preschool…read moreteacher and the program coordinator were warm and had a collaborative spirit. Kudos to the preschool program for making our child's early learning experience positive and enriching. We were very pleased with everything! Unfortunately, our experience following preschool did not meet the same standard. We observed a big shift in the approaches the school used. We had concerns about a lack of cultural sensitivity and limited willingness to engage collaboratively with parents. The disciplinary actions seemed developmentally inappropriate and punitive for young children still learning about social-emotional skills and impulsiveness. During meetings, we also encountered interactions with team members that felt dismissive and unpleasant. I lost faith in open, constructive conversations about our child's needs and progress. However, I think their academics were decent and appropriate for my child---my child performed well. Unfortunately, our child's teacher utilizes TikTok to post disparaging comments about parents. It was unprofessional and damaging to the sense of trust between them and us. My child's classroom environment also appeared overly focused on rule enforcement and behavior management through tools like ClassDojo. There was a lack of emphasis on teaching self-regulation or emotional growth. We hope the school will continue to build upon its strong preschool foundation and revisit its approach in kindergarten to support the holistic needs of its students better.

Very happy with their school and their programs.

I just want to take a moment to give flowers to the staff and director at Clayton KinderCare…read morebecause they have truly been a blessing in our kids' lives. From the time Kali-Love and Bronx were just 13 months old all the way to 5 years old, Clayton KinderCare has been nothing short of a second home. And it wasn't just the twins even our oldest son has been going there since he was 7 years old, and he's 12 now. They've always shown him the same love, patience, and care. The protection and genuine support they've given our kids is something I'll always hold close. I never once had to question if they were safe or loved. They were treated like family, and that kind of environment is rare to find. The director and staff didn't just supervise they poured into our kids with heart, structure, and real support. That's a true village. I'm forever grateful for the foundation they helped build in all of them. If you're looking for a center that truly leads with love and puts children first, Clayton KinderCare is it.

This review has been a long time coming. I absolutely LOOOOVE their preschool program!! I put my…read morekids in both the 3 yr old and 4 yr old programs, and now they are doing so well in elementary because of the foundation they received here. It is definitely play based, but they do academics in a fun way that grasps the children's attention. They learn to write their name, the alphabet and their numbers, do tons of art crafts, and engage in singing songs and dancing. Sometimes they have holiday parties, pajama and movie days, and "water" days. They even take field trips to Buchanan airport, the fire station, the library, and the dentist. I had both my children in Miss Melissa's 4 yr old class. I can honestly say that Miss Melissa and Miss Sharon are the best teachers I have come across! They are fun yet know how to set the children straight. They also recognize each child's personality and give them the individual attention they need. They brought out my daughter's sweet personality and they were able to tame my son's wild nature. I love the fact they keep the parents updated after each class, and if you have a concern about your child, they always set aside time to talk to you. It is because of Miss Melissa and Miss Sharon that my children love school and are excelling academically. They are bright, well-adjusted, and social. Both my children loved them! I HIGHLY recommend this preschool. You will definitely not regret it. Miss Melissa and Miss Sharon are amazing teachers!

This school has been great to the development of my child. He started at this school when he just…read moreturned 3. He was one of those kids where the average parenting tips and tricks did not work. Believe me, I've read more parenting books than I'm willing to admit. His favorite time is playing outside where there are multiple play structures, a garden and a chicken coop. He follows rules better and generally enjoys playing with all his friends. Academically, he will be 5 soon and reads at 3rd grade level. He never liked coloring or writing so he doesn't​ write much. He also does simple math and count by 2s and 5s. If you look at his development, it is quite uneven. I'm glad this school has always tried to guide him to practice skills he needs to master but never forced him to do what everyone does. His class teacher is Ms Maria and my child loves her. Ms Mariyam teaches the other class but also teaches him when they prep for special events. Throughout the year, they do spring gardening, mother's day tea party, father's day and all the family holiday celebrations. I especially love the Thanksgiving activities. I would recommend this school to anyone without hesitation.

From the first visit to the school with Maryam we felt comfortable with her as well as with the cleanliness and maintenance of the school.

Maryam makes learning fun for the kids and does so many great projects with them, my daughter loved when they planted the garden and got to raise little chicks. She made great friends and gained self confidence while attending AMS and I know we definitely made the right choice in letting her attend pre school there.
