Parents' Comments
Parent #1
My daughter attended this preschool and we loved it. The teachers were always friendly, and the director addressed any concerns we had privately and professionally. I was always concerned about how she was doing academically. The proof was in how well she did in Kindergarten. She made new friends and did well in class, too. The food is freshly made which I loved. Itâ??s different from what we eat at home, but she ate it happily. She went to a different preschool before this one where all the food came from a can or a box, and she hardly ate anything there. It was important to me to know she was eating well away from home. I highly recommend this school.
Parent #2
Safe, fun environment and experienced, caring teachers.
Parent #3
we have been very disappointed to hear teachers regularly yelling & being sarcastic to children & then completely changing the attitude once we go in the room or out to the playground to drop off our child. In the mornings when we drop off we see the same teachers standing around talking instead of watching or interacting with the kids & only a couple of teachers actually trying to fill in where everyone else is not paying attention & take care of the kids.
Parent #4
Infant care is wonderful! Great projects for toddlers. Meals provides that are homemade. My children eat their veggies and love it!
Parent #5
Teachers are always open to suggestions from parents. Academics - they really focus on making learning fun and on building the children's creativity/imagination.
The parents are great - friendly, open. My son has had many playdates with his classmates.
Parent #6
Strengths: Super nice teachers. Everyone is always so cheerful when dropping off and picking up. One of the few centers I know that have a chef on site and everything is cooked from scratch. My kids are picky eaters but have no problem eating everything at school and will be sure to let me know I don't make their food like Ms. Christina does. A BIG plus is picking up on cookie day!
Parent #7
The teachers at this school have little knowledge of the foundation children's learning has on their lives. There are no boundaries and children are allowed to do what they please. I have noticed some teachers feeling they need to overcompensate for the poor management the director performs. I wouldn't reccommend this school to my dog!

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
