We just called again and it turns out that they're booked up until 2020! This is no way to communicate with prospective students.

Class sizes are small and often have 2 teachers, so children receive individual attention in addition to their group activities. My husband and I are thrilled with this school. More importantly, our daughter loves it. Today she was teary eyed on the way home and told me that leaving school makes her sad. She has wonderful teachers and a classroom full of nice children with wich to interact. If you are looking for a Montessori school for your child please put this one on your list.

We are heading into our 2 yr old daughter's 2nd week at Square One and we couldn't be happier with…read moreher experience with Sarah and Keith. The space is adorable--they had me at the little red schoolhouse--cozy but not cramped, bright, and in a separate building from the owners' home, so the space is entirely devoted to the kids. The nap and imaginative play area downstairs is actually restful and dark, unlike some other home daycares or centers, where cots are squashed into the bright main play space and kids who are not sleeping are making noise in the same area. Meals are civilized and wholesome, and it's so nice not to have to pack lunch and snacks or pay a premium for served meals. The curriculum Sarah uses provides fun early learning experiences and promotes the values we hold dear: learning through play and nurturing relationships with caring, interested adults, a balance of structure and free play, healthy, calm, and social meals, and stimulating experiences involving movement, imagination, art-making, the outdoors, and music. Sarah has been extremely communicative and accommodating, allowing us to bring our daughter to come and experience the program for a couple hours one day before enrolling, and staying in close touch now that she's started there. We feel so lucky to have found this sweet place with such a great mix of the structure one might look for in a center and the personal care and cozy environment of a home daycare.

His teachers are so incredibly kind and are truly passionate about working with kids. As a parent who was a little nervous sending their kid to preschool for the first time, the level of calmness and kindness we experience on the first day was incredible. We love it that kids get exposure to nature, learn about daily life routines, and life skills from sharing to kindness. We couldn't be happier with our kid going to school here.

Two years later, we are still as happy as we were when she started! They are outside every day, walking, exploring, jumping, climbing. The education they provide is age appropriate and through fun learning experiences. The classrooms are mixed ages (2.5-5) and I think it is great for their learning environment. The younger children look up to the older children and the older children learn patience with the younger children and become quite nurturing towards them. The teachers treat the children with respect. They are so engaged with them. They have their own garden and compost. The school has expanded since my daughter started in 2014 (they now have 3 classrooms) but it still has a small feel. If you're looking for a play based preschool in the Highlands, look no farther. My daughter has one more year to enjoy at NinaBees before kindergarten, and her little brother will follow in her footsteps to attend NinaBees once he meets the requirements to do so- minimum of 2.5 years and potty trained. It is located on the first floor of the Highlands United Methodist Church building but does not have a religious affiliation.

My son was dealing with all kinds of behavioral issues at his other school, huge classroom and was constantly coming home with serious incident reports (head hit on a metal bar after being pushed off the play-set, cut my scissors in between his fingers, etc). I decided he needed a smaller school so went to CLC and soooo wish I had made this decision years ago. My two kids are so loved here, they bounce out of the house to go to school, my son's behavior was changed for the better in almost a month, my daughter is thriving. They really go above and beyond for each and every single child. Couldn't recommend this center more! Good pricing. Food served. Fun water play and park days. Constantly coming home with fun projects. Love this place!

I have looked long and hard for a good preschool, for both of my kids. I think it is very important…read morethat my kids are well taken care of and also that they are in a learning environment. I stumbled upon Inspiration Preschool and I immediately took my 3 year old son out of the school he was in and enrolled him at Inspiration. The staff is lovely, friendly, warm and inspiring. The setting is quaint, warm and bright. When you walk in, it is just a wonderful place to be, and you know it. After one week of being at this school, my son, who was not interested in learning his ABC's and 123's comes home singing every day. He is interested in learning and engaging, where, he was not before. When I pick him up at night, he doesn't want to leave. When he was at the other schools, he was crying before I even picked him up, every single day - and never wanted to go to school. Now, he gets up before ME in the morning, gets himself dressed, and lines up by the door... saying "Take me to school Mommy!" I am so thrilled to have found this wonderful school and my son will be here until he moves into Kindergarten. It has a family feeling and a very supportive culture. I could not be happier.

We went through 2 other daycare providers before we found Inspiration Preschool - an in home…read moredaycare and a nanny share - finally we can stop looking. Let's face it, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and no daycare is really going to be good enough for your first child. Or can it be? Inspiration Preschool answered that question with a resounding YES for us. As soon as we found IP and our daughter was old enough (must be at least 2.5 years old), we took her out of the nanny share and enrolled her at Inspiration. It's a small "school" with a nice backyard. I put school in quotes because really, it's daycare but very much in a learning environment. During the regular school year, each month is a different learning focus. For example, they focused on rainbows and colors in April, things that grow in May. There is a reading area, too, with tons of books to suit the ages of the children. The kids learn lots of songs, too. I was so pleasantly surprised when my daughter came home from school and taught me songs that they sung that day. They learn the alphabet, counting, days of the week, the calendar...the list goes on. So yeah, it's a "school", and my daughter gets good care, too. All of the staff is top notch. You can see the love and care they have for all of the kids on each teacher's face. Inspiration isn't just teachers, either. it's a community where parents not only know each teacher, but they know every child that goes there and every parent of those children. Everyone gets together on occasion through events put on by the school and/or other families. They even recently did a field trip to The Children's Museum! The main thing that I love about Inspiration is that the kids play outside, at least twice a day, EVERY day. It doesn't matter what the weather is (well, within reason of course), they go outside and expend that energy that only 2.5 - 5 year olds have in spades. The backyard is so conducive to this, too. There are 5 -7 different areas back there where the kids can get their play on. My favorite is the musical area that features pots & pans to make "music" with and a big chime set that the kids can hit with various kitchen utensils. My daughter now looks forward to school everyday that she goes, and even asks if she is going to school on weekends. When we pick her up, she doesn't want to leave. She's made some wonderful friends, too. So have her parents! Thanks, Inspiration Preschool!
