It's such a thoughtfully put together program - a different theme every week, story time, free play in the big sensory gym, messy play, arts and crafts and snack time with friends. It's also been really special as a parent to be able to join the kiddo in school instead of just dropping off. There are other kids there that go with nannies and they also seem to do really well. It's great that the kids can go explore and play but then check in with a trusted caregiver here and there when they are feeling the need for closeness too. And it's so fun to get to be silly alongside the kiddos there. We've also done some of the other standalone classes like messy play and little movers and those are basically shorter versions of the pre preschool and are great. We'll definitely keep doing those too until we age out. :-p After mommy and me I had no idea what to do when the kids graduated and were 1. This program has been so wonderful for us as it provides my child with some structure and plenty of time to play. I couldn't say nicer things about the teacher Danielle. She goes above and beyond and is just great and the staff is so so nice. Highly recommend!

Our almost 4 yr old son (recently diagnosed with ASD) attended Play 2 Progress' summer camp program for two weeks and had an AWESOME time. While it took him a moment to adjust to his new environment, with a lot of tears and resistance the first 2 days, Allie and her team (including Natalie and Kaitlyn and Esme) showed tremendous patience, flexibility, and willingness to come up with creative solutions (like creating a visual schedule of activities and adding a one on one counselor to give our son extra attention), all of which helped him feel very comfortable and welcome. As parents, we had a lot of worry and anxiety at first, but those fears evaporated by the 3rd day when our son jumped out of the car and ran into the playroom with a backwards looking "Bye Mom!" THANK YOU again for making our son's first camp experience so great.

I sent them an $1800 deposit and first month's tuition but when I asked about signing my daughter up for aftercare they told me it was not available for all students and there was a waitlist. I went to speak to Kathy, an admin, in person and she confessed that her waitlist was not "real" and that it was based on who they deemed needed it the most once school started. Huh? My husband and I told them we needed it and couldn't make it work without aftercare. They said they could not make room for us in aftercare and also that they would not refund our deposit OR our first month's tuition even though it was two weeks before the start of school. They took $1800 from us based on promises they could not or would not deliver on. Skip this pre-school! It's a cash grab.

The values here are very off -- this is a money and power focused preschool. If those are your values, this may be the place for you. However, if you value an inclusive, warm, kind, supportive place that focuses on developing the whole child, with values such as empathy and compassion, look elsewhere. Sarah and her assistant Kathy are entitled, grandiose and narcissistic and very insincere and money focused. As leaders of this school, they certainly do not cultivate a warm, inclusive place where all are welcomed, even though they sell it hard. Don't be fooled.

I don't think I would have been as mentally prepared as I was if I did not take her classes. I would even say emotionally too because I had to do a lot of healing with losing my first angel. Thank you so much Sharon. Our little Rami is doing wonderful. You were such a great impact on our journey as first time parents and have our upmost respect.

So no need for a doula after all. Sharon also made the class fun by having us doing hands-on learning activities. And most importantly, she serves amazing snacks. So for all pregnant women out there, who get hungry easily like me, you are well taken care of when attending her class. :-)

The curriculum is thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely helpful for first-time moms navigating all the big (and small!) questions. What truly makes the experience special is Caren.

If you're a new parent looking for community, guidance, and a place where you and your baby can grow together, I can't recommend Wright Mommy and Me and Caren enough. It's truly a gift during those early months.

Julia is so poised and sage, but also so warm and fun loving. I learned so much from her and by just observing her. She has a beautiful way with words and tenderness with all she does. I have cute photos of my baby hanging on her every word too. We adapted as they grew (toddlers go crazy when snacks are aplenty, we found) and found things that worked for us. I love a collaborative environment. The topics evolve as you go as well, but Julia is consistent with the scaffolding of the advice. Our group was so wonderful and it was a joy to watch them grow up together. So many milestones shared. So many smiles. All their first birthdays were celebrated together. Our spouses forged friendships. We know how lucky we are that we gelled so well. And the best part? The friendships are ours to keep. I wish this support, love and camaraderie for every parent! It's truly special.

From the start, Rebecca (Director) and Kimberly (Assistant Director) were wonderful in helping us through the transition. She began in the Peach classroom, moved to Coral, and will soon be transitioning to Lilac. Every single teacher we've met has been incredible, thoughtful, patient, and caring. I've been so impressed by the curriculum and the creativity behind the daily activities. Our daughter is thriving here. The teachers send us tons of photo updates and log each bathroom break (or diaper change), meal, and snack in real time through an app. They also take the time to chat at drop-off and pick-up about the day's activities, which makes us feel connected and involved even when we're not there. Brella's schedule is based on the hours you use rather than a monthly tuition, but you still get that valuable day-to-day consistency in the classroom. Most of her classmates attend five days a week, and she comes home every day talking excitedly about her friends. They're open almost every day of the year, the care is there when you need it, but it's also great not to have to pay for childcare when we take days off or go on vacation. We feel so lucky to have found Brella near our new home, it has truly exceeded our expectations and highly recommend it.

Our Honest Experience with Brella After 6 Months…read more After six months at Brella, and now that we've found a new daycare, I wanted to share our honest experience. Booking Brella uses an app for monthly childcare bookings, which open on the 20th at 10 a.m. For the past three months, the app has frozen during booking time, leaving my husband and me spending hours trying to secure spots for our son. Honestly, it's easier to get tickets to a Beyoncé or Taylor Swift concert than to book childcare at Brella. Dependability While Brella advertises full-time childcare flexibility, that hasn't been our experience. For the last three months, we've been waitlisted at least two days each week--for example, every Monday and Tuesday in November. After repeatedly asking in October, we were finally taken off the waitlist, but the inconsistency has been stressful. They also offer "early booking," which we requested access to, only to be told we were waitlisted for that as well. For working parents, this level of unpredictability makes Brella an unreliable option. We've had to use PTO or ask our in-laws to drive over two hours just to help cover childcare gaps. Quality and Communication Several of our favorite teachers have been let go, which was disappointing. Brella is also supposed to send daily photos and lesson plans, but there are days we receive no updates--or just a single photo of the back of our son's head. Overall For such a premium-priced childcare option, Brella has significant issues to address--from booking reliability to staffing and communication. While there are aspects we appreciated early on, it ultimately wasn't dependable enough for our family's needs.

What I liked about Erica was her method of questioning rather than just telling me what she thought. She asked me what my thoughts were when I shared something with her, and she helped me explore what messages my actions might be unintentionally sending to my family. She helped me come to my own conclusions rather than feeding me information that didn't ring true to my situation. She suggested a few books that could help me work through my situation. I left our session feeling like I had the tools to start making the necessary changes. It was a pleasure meeting with her in her calm and aesthetically pleasing office.

Her information has been invaluable during my preschool search.
