He always tells me to pick him up "later" so he can play with his friends. Their outdoor area was just renovated a couple of years ago and they did such a great job with it.

Our family has been part of the GSP community for 6 wonderful years, and it is sooo sad for us to…read moresay goodbye. Our younger child started at GSP from six months old, and looking back, choosing GSP was definitely one of the best decisions we made. We would love to share our positive experiences and help spread the word about how special GSP truly is! It is definitely a safe and loving environment. The teacher to kid ratio is very good. Every teacher we have met here is genuinely caring and loving. The staff and front office have always been supportive, providing prompt and thoughtful responses to our requests. We will deeply miss the warm smiles we saw everywhere on campus, the birthday celebrations for kiddos at chapel, the lovely holiday gifts from the classrooms, and every page of the yearbook so thoughtfully customized for each child!

Goddard is a wonderful preschool for your littles, from when they are tiny tots until they are…read moreready for kindergarten. The admin staff are warm, kind and welcoming. Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Lana and Ms. Delmy know all the children's names and take the time to really interact with the kids as well as the parents. The teachers treat the children with such love and care, and they also give attention and communicate well with parents. Daily reports are shared along with photos so parents can stay in the know about their child's day to day. Parent teacher conferences are useful as teachers share the progression of work when it comes to academics. There are also tons of wonderful activities brought to Goddard like basketball camp, reptile day, water/foam day (for summer time) plus visits from professions that teach about music and the importance of brushing your teeth. I love the fact that everything is onsite so your children never need to leave the school (compared to public school/elementary school). The facility is clean and bright, and the seasonal decor on classroom doors are fun to look at (designed by teachers that sometimes include the children's faces). Kids come home with art projects, drawings and some academic work (letters and numbers for their appropriate ages). AM and PM snacks are now provided (lunch must be brought and labeled with names and dates). That was nice because we had to bring in our own snacks during Covid and for a long while after Covid. Goddard is a great preschool and I highly recommend it. As a note, they do have a mandatory rest period from 12:30pm - 3pm and most kids nap. They turn down the classroom lights, play calm music and have the kids lie down on cots with blankets. If you don't want your kids napping, this can be problematic. I've had conversations with the teachers and Ms. Parina (the owner) about securing more staff to allow non-napping kids to have other things to do (ie quiet activities like coloring) but no solution was ever reached during my 3 years there. I've heard pricing for babies is pretty high and babies are required to come in 5 days a week vs part time. I saw prices rise a few times during my time there as well. That said, you get what you pay for, and I believe Goddard has set the bar pretty high. I'm very pleased with the education my kids have received (heartfelt thank you to Ms. Vivian and Ms. Chetana) and I wish public school was as excellent when it came to the level of service and care we've seen at Goddard.

do not recommend this school based on our family's experience. Unfortunately, we experienced…read moreongoing stress due to the school's administration and management. Communication was often difficult, and we did not feel supported when concerns about our son were raised. One of the biggest issues was the constant turnover of teachers in my son's classroom. During our time at the school, his class had multiple teachers, making it difficult for the children to build stable relationships and adjust to a consistent learning environment. Several staff members expressed concerns about the work environment, which was disappointing to us. The administration/ specially director did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or expertise in child development and child psychology that I expected from a leadership team responsible for young children ( I even heard this from teachers). Rather than working with families to understand children's behaviors and support their growth, I often felt that the focus was on discipline instead of teaching and guiding children through age-appropriate challenges. Young children need patience, consistency, and positive guidance to learn appropriate behaviors. Unfortunately, I did not feel that the management took that approach, and I believe my kid would have benefited from more understanding and support. It was my impression that families who gave gifts or maintained a closer relationship with the administration received more favorable treatment. As a result, I felt our kids did not receive the same level of support!!!!! Last but not least Please consider that very serious Goddard director talks about "fairness " however she treat parents differently when they give her expensive gifts? I've heard this from several parents who warned us, but unfortunately we didn't listen.

It is one of the few places that is unique from start to finish: a mix of…read moreMontessori and Reggio Emilia curriculums, multi lingual environment; outrageously fantastic interior design with special places like Self Time Corner, and lunches. I feel so relieved that my daughter is served fresh hot food every day instead of fast food or cold meals. My favorite is Soup Days on Fridays. What's more I see a clear growth path : from preschool to TK - all within PS schools just different locations. I get daily communications from the teachers via Procare app -- simple and convenient. What else can a parent wish for? :)

It's hard to express how grateful we are for everyone working at Pomegranate Schools. Our kids have…read morebeen there for a year. The school's team, Maria, Samantha, Irina, and Ivy, have created an environment that provides much more than just great academics. They have created a second home for our children where they feel loved, respected, and cared for. They wake up every morning with excitement to go to school. Since our children started attending Pomegranate, their childcare-related illnesses have subsided. We attribute that to the perfect cleanliness of the space and the much lower number of children in the group compared to other schools. Ms. Maria cooks homemade, healthy lunches for all kids every single day, and the kids love it. Our children love their teachers, Ms. Irina and Ms. Samantha, and greatly enjoy working with them. They've learned a lot very quickly and seem very excited about the learning process, which feels like play for them. The classrooms are beautiful and cozy. Children literally fall in love with the space the moment they see it. Holidays at Pomegranate are always fun for the kids, with many organized activities (e.g., Santa visiting and giving out presents). We recommend Pomegranate Schools to everyone living in the area. We wish every family and every kid the opportunity to experience a school like that.

They were always helpful and responsive anytime I had questions or concerns. Jaimee and Michelle are on top of everything and are always ready to support their students and families. The children seem happy and comfortable in their environments, the classrooms felt harmonious, with supportive adults at the helm. The teachers that I observed had a warm, personal rapport with not just their own students, but all of the students at the school. I heard teachers and staff I had never met greeting my daughter most days at pick up/drop off. The space is beautiful and modern with a lovely play area and an added bonus of having big community park directly adjacent. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a safe, supportive education community for their kids!

The director is full of BS. They tell you wait time is about one year to one year and half. But…read moresome rich people can get in within 3 months, some families can take forever. They lost our profile and my friend's kid's profile as well. If you heard some private schools pick students based on their home address and parents' occupation.

From day one, they made her feel truly at home, which gave us so much peace of mind as parents. Miss Johanna and her team bring so much warmth, patience, and years of experience you can genuinely feel how much they care about each child. Anytime we ran into challenges or had specific needs, they were flexible, communicative, and always willing to work with us to find solutions. That level of partnership meant a lot to our family. AlphaBlocks really hits the sweet spot between affordability, a home-like personalized environment, and high-quality care. The setup is thoughtful, welcoming, and well-run, and the team is incredibly kind and attentive. We recently moved on only because our daughter's needs changed not because of anything lacking here. We would absolutely recommend Alpha Blocks to any family looking for a nurturing, trustworthy daycare with a personal touch. We'll always appreciate the role they played in our daughter's early years. Highly Recommend!

My daughter's teachers were amazing--Ms. Rebekah, Ms. Jackie, and the other TAs were so patient, caring, and dedicated. They taught her so much and genuinely cared about her growth, both academically and emotionally. It's clear that everyone at Learning Lab truly loves the children. My daughter absolutely adored her teachers and the entire staff. The owner, Danny, is also fantastic--he genuinely cares about the school and the children and it really shows in everything they do. The only reason we left was because we moved . If you're in the area and looking for a preschool where your child will learn, grow, be surrounded by Christian values, and be genuinely loved, I can't recommend Learning Lab enough.

They are mindful of creating a schedule that works well for working parents; less school closure days than surrounding schools. Events like the kids' fall festival and Christmas program are incredibly thoughtful and go above and beyond what you'd expect from a school. Teachers and administrators clearly love kids. A standout is Ms. Rosanna, who provides frequent daily updates on the app and then a weekly recap report on my child and sometimes even gives gifts. These gestures are not only generous but also show how well she knows my child's interests and what matters to them. Very kind.

We've been incredibly fortunate to be part of the LePort community for over ten years. My son has…read moregrown up at LePort--starting in the Mandarin program, then Westpark, and now the Spectrum North campus. With just a year and a half left before he graduates, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the amazing teachers and administrators who have guided him along the way. My son has truly grown up a happy child who loves school, and I attribute so much of that to LePort. I'm constantly told what a wonderful young man he is, and I believe the character-building foundation at LePort Montessori has been exceptional in shaping who he is today. At LePort Spectrum North, he has had the most caring and thoughtful teachers--Ms. Jacobs, Ms. Masha, Ms. Cassandra Kolacinski, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin. We are thoroughly enjoying the middle school program: it blends Montessori principles with strong academics and emphasizes helping others, self-discipline, time management, and critical thinking. During alumni night, every graduate shared that they felt extremely well prepared for high school after completing LePort's middle school program. Thank you, Ms. K, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin, for everything you do! I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the phenomenal administrative team--Head of School Ms. Krista, Business Manager Ms. Karyn, and Admin Support Ms. Jen. You make the school run seamlessly, and I love the new subjects, events, and programs you bring to the community. Thank you--it has truly been a joy to be part of LePort.

This review is for the South campus…read more Both of my daughters started at LePort in the Spanish Immersion when they were 18 months old. My older daughter did great in the toddler program but we started to see issues when she moved to Primary. I met with Ms. Ana many times where we tried bringing in books from home or I sent her pictures and Ms. Ana made a special work item for my daughter to keep her interest. Eventually we found out that my daughter is Autistic. At that point I asked Ms. Ana to work with me to have a Behavioral Therapist in the school with my daughter. Very long story short, this Montessori environment is not the right environment for my neurodivergent child. But over the last 2 years I have spent upwards of 50 hours on the phone and in Ms. Ana's office trying to find ways to help my daughter succeed. Ms. Ana never gave up trying to help us. I love the Montessori curriculum and LePort was able to nurture my daughter's intelligence where she has just turned 5 and is reading chapter books and learning division. My younger daughter is currently having a blast in Ms. Ivette's classroom. A word of advice for parents experiencing behavioral issues - get your child assessed. My relationship with my daughter improved infinitely once I had professionals helping me understand how her mind works and how to speak to her in a way that she understands.

As a first time parent, I am so relieved and glad to have found Little Explorers Montessori. I had…read moreheard many stories from coworkers of having to get on waitlists while pregnant, high costs, etc etc and was very anxious once my maternity leave neared its end that we wouldn't be able to find a suitable place. We toured many daycares- some in-home ones and others with facilities (ChildTime, etc) but none compared to this. Our first in-home daycare before arriving at Little Explorers was truly abysmal (breast milk wasted, instructions not followed, few updates, TV on every day...), so when we toured Little Explorers and saw the peaceful environment and amazing parent experiences, we were truly so relieved. My daughter has been now at Little Explorers for just over a year and I've felt such a peace of mind having her there. The app updates and photos were so appreciated, especially when she was fussy with breast milk and transitioning to various foods. In many instances Ms. Julia was able to get my daughter to drink more milk than I could even do at home. In addition, my daughter's egg allergy was taken seriously and I am so glad the school provides NUTRITIOUS healthy food that is home cooked! She loves the birds and bunnies there, as well as socializing with the other kids. Highly recommend this place to any new and experienced parents :).

It is truly a bittersweet moment for our family knowing that he will be leaving what has become his second home, and we felt compelled to share our experience with other parents searching for a childcare program for their little ones. What Julia and Vlad provide goes beyond a daycare or early childhood education. They have created a warm, family oriented environment where my son felt loved and encouraged to grow. We are eternally grateful for the role they have played in shaping our son into the kind and curious little boy he is today. Not only is he leaps and bounds ahead in his language and math skills, but more importantly, he has developed a strong sense of integrity, empathy, and independence. Every day, we dropped him off knowing he was in the care of people who genuinely loved and cared about him and his development. I believe that that type of peace of mind is something every parent hopes to find. In fact, among all the excitement for starting kindergarten, one of the first questions he asked was "will Ms. Julia be there." The memories we built here are priceless, and Julia and Vlad will continue to be part of our lives as family friends. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Explorers to anyone looking for a place where their child will not only learn, but truly thrive.
