Parent #1
This is our 2nd child that has gone to 1st Foundations and we would highly recommend it to anyone! They are doing a great job, we only wish they had elementary available, we hate to leave!
Parent #2
This is the best school. Both my kids came out reading, ready to enter kindergarten. They handle all problems thru biblical means. It is a Christian preschool.
Parent #3
The faculty was extremely respectful of any special needs - I had a baby mid year and kept my son home for almost 4 weeks to skip flu season at school. They welcomed him back and gave him all missed work. They told me when someone was ill in his class. Above and beyond to help me not bring home any bad germs. They were also fabulous at letting me stay longer to get him comfortable before I left for the day.
