    My son asks to be picked up later then I actually can because he enjoys his time so much at New…read moreFoundations. The updates I receive throughout the day give me peace of mind and lets me see he is having fun learning. The care the teachers provide is beyond valuable in teaching emotion regulation as well as preparing my kiddo for a successful transition into kindergarten. I am so glad to have found such an amazing daycare/school for my boys.

    Excellent teachers | Safe, trustworthy, fun PreK…read more I've waited to write this review until my daughter graduated from here. She's been here for two years and loved it! It's important to note that we enrolled her in 2021. She was very shy and isolated during 2020, so a part of why we enrolled her was to get more socialization. She's a complete social butterfly and gets along well with anyone now. Like every parent, I needed to feel reassured that my kid was going to be in good hands when I send her off to preschool. It's a big milestone and quite daunting going through the process of which place to choose. We looked at 3 other places, 1 other one in town before immediately deciding to enroll our daughter. Here are my pluses: * compassionate, trustworthy, transparent, and attentive teachers/staff * BrightWheel app to give you daily updates on your kid-- including photos! * fun activities -- cute artwork * safe and enclosed with doors that are locked * across the street from the park Compassionate, trustworthy, transparent, and attentive: the teachers always greet us at pick up and tell us if our kiddo had an accident (of any kind). If she fell, we sign a paper acknowledging what happened. They've worked with us for a whole year potty training our kiddo. It was a very long process that required a lot of patience, but we finally got there just before she turned 5. They have been nothing but patient and supportive every step of the way, never pushing it. Class sizes vary due to kids on different schedules, so one day they'll have 3-7 kids and another day there will be a dozen. Every kid seems happy and engaged when I'm there. They have nap time at noon for two hours, which is very important if you're looking to enroll young toddlers. They're flexible with drop off time up until 9am and pick up before 6pm. On sunny days, they'll take the kids across the street to play at the park. You communicate using their BrightWheel app, which you get updates including photos of your kid throughout the day. I wish they had this tech when I was growing up! My daughter is sad to leave this place, but we know that if we have another kiddo in the future, we'll be back here again.

    We came to Valley Christian looking for a small, gentle preschool, and it has genuinely become like…read morefamily for us. Our daughter is sensitive, and her teachers have been calm, consistent, and so patient with her. We really were picky with where she was going to go and we picked the perfect place. The classes are small, focused, drop‑off feels peaceful, and the routines are predictable, which really helps her feel safe. When there's a conflict or a mean‑kid moment, the staff actually handle it fairly instead of brushing it off, and they always loop us in immediately if our daughter isn't feeling well. She's also grown so much academically here. She can now fully read books and do basic math and she's almost done with their kindergarten class. If you want a warm, stable place where your child is really known, this is it. We feel this school has set a high expectation that her elementary may not match up to.

    We started our oldest child here when he was just 2 years old. The teacher came to our house to…read moreintroduce herself!! Every aspect about this preschool has been above and beyond my expectation. Our oldest also has every food allergy there is and there is tremendous care taken by the teachers to keep him safe. We feel so blessed to have found a perfect preschool for all of our children to go.
