It's been really wonderful seeing her express herself more clearly and forge lasting friendships with her classmates. The teaching staff is warm, friendly and genuinely has the best interests of the kids as their top priority. Their interest in getting to know our entire family and the kindness they show our younger son (who will soon enroll at The Treehouse himself) is truly heartwarming. I cannot recommend The Treehouse enough to families who are looking for a welcoming community and play-based learning environment.

Ms. Ayfen and Mr. Tory are the perfect team and I personally, consider them my daughter's guardian angels. I get greeted with a genuine smile every morning and am briefed on my kid's achievements at pick-up every day. All the pictures and videos I get on a weekly basis of my daughter learning something new, doing art, singing or having fun outdoors almost makes me feel like I didn't miss a moment and that I was right there all along. Ms. Ayfen is always trying to make learning innovative and fun for the children. Every student's culture and traditions are acknowledged and studied about and even celebrated. They are very well-rounded for their tender age. There's also plenty of healthy outdoor time and they get to go on some pretty cool adventures and field trips. I couldn't ask for more as a parent!

Jacqueline worked with me/him to come up with a great plan to ease that anxiety and within a few days his drop-off routine worked beautifully.

Orange Tea has a very special place in our hearts! After my toddler went to another local daycare…read morecenter for 9-months and we were very unsatisfied, we found Orange Tea and have been there ever since. My now 5-year old is graduating to kindergarten but his little sister has been here since she turned 2.5. Teachers Kerry and Andrew run a compassionate preschool with lots of exploration play, unstructured time outside, weekly themes, art, healthy food, and so much emotional intelligence education. The school is small (one mixed-age class), which means the big kids learn to care for the little kids. My kids are delightful, polite, and caring humans and I credit this school with almost all of that influence. If you're reading the reviews (which are old), know they are no longer drop-in, and masks are only worn after a community exposure event, though they were previously worn 100% of the time for almost 2 years of covid.

My 2-year-old son loves this preschool. We initially heard about OTS when they moved to our…read moreneighborhood. We had been on the waiting list for another daycare for over two years already, and when our second arrived three weeks early, we decided to give it a try. At the time, our son was acting out and very jealous of his new sister. His enrollment at OTS has really helped his transition from only child to big brother. While it's always difficult sending a child to school for the first time, I couldn't imagine a more nurturing environment for him. Teacher Kerry and Teacher Andrew are absolutely wonderful with the kids. I love their focus on emotional intelligence because it was what my son needed at the time--and truly what any child this age needs. I also noticed that his manners have improved tremendously since he started attending their school. Although we had been working consistently with him on manners, he would often need reminders. After a few months at OTS, everything finally clicked, and he even asks to be excused from the dinner table. Aside from good manners, his imagination has really taken off and he engages more in pretend play. Prior to his time at OTS, he was very needy and always asked one of us to play with him. Now he exhibits more independence and takes the lead in pretend play. I believe the small, intimate, home environment of OTS has really enabled him to thrive. It's like his home away from home, and I know he thinks of Teacher Andrew, Teacher Kerry and the other kids like family. I'd highly recommend OTS to any parent, but particularly to those whose kids are leaving home for the first time. What a wonderful find.

My husband and I enrolled our son at PFM when he was five months old, as I was returning to work…read moreafter a long maternity leave. Naturally, I was concerned about this transition; anxious about the adjustment period and a little weepy that he would be under the care of others every day! This feeling of uneasiness quickly subsided. Upon our very first visit, the PFM team jumped into action and together we put a comfortable transition plan into place. The teachers in his classroom (as well as the Director and Assistant Director) were very warm and showed a genuine interest in our sons onboarding, providing personal updates throughout his day as well as advice on naps and feeding. Relationships quickly bloomed. The online portal that is updated by his teachers throughout the day documented sleeping, eating and diaper patterns, giving us full visibility to what his days looked like. All of this provided me with peace of mind, which is what you need as a new parent during this transition. Fast forward four months: we have an extremely happy child who lights up every day at drop off for school and is in no rush to leave at pick up time! Children cannot fake their excitement, so you know that this is genuine. The child-led philosophy of Montessori allows our son freedom in the classroom to "choose his own adventure" every day, while still providing him with a structured curriculum that has enabled him to surpass his milestones. Being a very active child, our son is thriving in this environment and we have seen tremendous growth in him, both socially and developmentally. It is evident that the team here truly cares about the children and love what they do. I would recommend PFM to any families seeking a child care experience that is nurturing, community oriented and child focused. It is so much more than just a school or day care, and has exceeded our expectations.

He is learning, developing, and experiencing so much faster and more than he would anywhere else. The staff and curriculum at PFM are top notch and it shines through in my child. Every single day he comes home with new and exciting things to talk to me about. I know my child is getting the BEST experience there is to offer. Not only are the Montessori program and staff 5 star, but so is the classroom environment, meal plan, playground, community, owner and location. I wouldn't hesitate a second to think about enrolling your child in this school.
