Pacifica Montessori was my daughter's very first school in the United States. We moved here from…read moreanother country, and she spent two wonderful years at Pacifica. Looking back, I truly feel proud and grateful that our family had the opportunity to be part of this community. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Flores, Ms. Kumari, Ms. Concepcion, Ms. Cole, Mr. Cole, and all of the wonderful teachers and staff who supported and cared for my daughter over the years. Through the Montessori approach, my daughter developed so much more than academic skills. She became more independent, self-motivated, and confident, and I was especially happy to see her naturally develop leadership and kindness toward younger classmates. Academically, Pacifica also gave her a wonderful foundation. In addition to developing her English communication skills, she learned reading and writing, addition and subtraction, number rolls, and many other concepts that have given her a great head start as she moved on to kindergarten. She is now in kindergarten and has transitioned with confidence. I truly believe that much of that confidence comes from the foundation she built at Pacifica. What I appreciate most, however, is the way the teachers respect each child as an individual and care for them with such warmth, patience, and acceptance. My daughter never truly had a day when she did not want to go to school. Even on mornings when she was a little reluctant to leave home, as soon as she entered the classroom and saw her teachers, she would quickly become happy and comfortable. As a parent who moved here from abroad, knowing that my daughter was in a place where she felt safe, loved, respected, and encouraged meant more to me than I can express. I can wholeheartedly say that I am so glad Pacifica was my daughter's first school in the United States. It will always be a very special place for our family, and we will always be grateful for the two years she spent there.

Long over due review. Ms. Yvette is truly a blessing. She cares for each child she encounters and…read moremeets them where they are. Her level of attention she gives towards academic development and encouragement, personal development, mental and spiritual development, communication development, the list goes on and on is enriching.

Amazing experience and the bonus is the babies love her!

On the recommendation of a friend we visited Growstrong Preschool and 7 years later we are about to…read morehave 2 proud Growstrong graduates! I cannot speak highly enough of Growstrong. It is a small, in-home preschool, that has a maximum of 10 students (~6 more recently), and the teacher, Ms. Yvette, pours into these kids so that they are proud and excited learners and are able to do so much more than you ever imagined a 4 year old could do! When looking for a preschool we wanted a place where we felt our child would be safe, with attentive teachers, not sat in front of a screen all day, he was treated well, and he would learn important socialization skills and basics to ensure that they were ready for kindergarten. Growstrong EASILY checks those boxes and goes far beyond. Our 2nd child will graduate from Growstrong in the fall. Between the two of them we have kids who were reading at a 2nd grade level or higher, adding, subtracting, multiplying, doing word problems, playing chess, reciting the "I Have A Dream" speech and excerpts from King's other works as well as poems by authors like Robert Frost, and doing so much more by the time they leave preschool. And through their entire time there they were treated like family by Ms Yvette--a woman who I have never seen even raise her voice at any of these children despite how crazy they may have been acting--given healthy home cooked meals daily, and respected like real little humans with feelings and independent thoughts. It says a lot that out of my son's class of 5 students, 4 of them are siblings to children who graduated or currently go there. I have also grown to be friends with many of the parents of the children who have attended because we are all similarly invested in our kids and their future and value what Growstrong provides. And all of the kids have always been incredibly sweet. With so many difficult decisions as a parent, selecting Growstrong was easily one of the best ones we have ever made.

Finding this school was truly a blessing. The teachers love the kids and facilities and outdoor…read morespace are wonderful. The outdoor yard is big and grassy (real grass) so the kids can just run, run, run. It makes a difference that the teachers and aides see the children as a blessing from God rather than just a job that pays the bills. My 3 year old talks about how nice Mrs. Ambrose and Mrs. Gabb are. During the week off of school, she started to ask when school was coming back. My little girl knows how to pray and they go to a 10 minute chapel service every Wednesday. It's all so wonderful and adorable. We, like you I'm sure, had toured many schools. We looked at Young Minds, New World Montessori, St Johns, Bright Horizons, and others. Of all the schools we looked at we had a pro and cons list. For Building Blocks, it was all Pro's!

My daughter has been at BBCA for two years and I can't say enough positive things about it…read more I toured a lot of preschools within the area and ultimately decided to send my daughter here because the environment is warm and welcoming, the outdoor space is colorful with a large grassy area, the classroom is clean, organized, and filled with colorful artwork. The teachers are engaged with the kids, they really know each child, and they are so creative with their lesson plans. The school is play based, but my daughter is starting to read, she's writing and spelling words, she's understanding math concepts (counting, adding, patterns, comparison), and her social-emotional development is supported in a nurturing way. The school is great at organizing small events for holidays and for the community. One of our favorites was the snow day where they brought in a snow truck and filled the grassy area for kids to play in. Highly recommend touring the school!

Angelique, the director, and every one of the teachers are truly amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about each child and create a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment where kids can thrive. Over the past two years, our son has learned so much, not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. He's grown in confidence, made wonderful friendships, and has always looked forward to going to school each day. We couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience. We love A Child's Place!

We feel so lucky to have found ACP. Our son has been attending for 1.5 years and has grown in so…read moremany ways. He is more open, empathetic, creative, confident, and his speech has blossomed. We chose ACP for their outdoor classroom style. The outdoor area is beautiful, with shady trees, a garden the kids help care for, a playground, plus sand and grass to explore. The kids spend most of their day outside, running, playing, and building friendships. There's plenty of time later in life to sit at a desk. At this age, we wanted our child to explore, learn through play and just enjoy being a kid! The teachers are incredible and their level of care has been so appreciated! They eased our nerves in those early days with extra care, hugs, and photo updates. Now our son happily says, "I'm ready for school!" each morning and cheerfully waves us off at drop-off. Thank you ACP, for caring so deeply for our family and putting us at ease.

After a rocky year at a Montessori school, a behavioral therapist highly recommended Young Minds…read moreLearning Academy (YMLA) to help our son strengthen his executive functioning skills. From the moment we toured, we felt the difference--the commitment to nurturing the whole child was unmistakable. We enrolled him that week. Over the two years our son attended YMLA, he flourished. He learned to use his words, respect boundaries, build confidence in his social-emotional skills, and academically reached a kindergarten level while still in TK. At some schools, education can feel like a job. At Young Minds, it is clearly a calling. That dedication is evident across the entire staff and support team. The level of care, patience, and individualized approaches they pour into each child is nothing short of remarkable. As TK began winding down, we heard countless parents express the same sentiment: "What do we have to do to get the owners to open a Young Minds Elementary?" That says everything. As our son moves on to an independent grade school, our entire family will dearly miss Young Minds. We are incredibly grateful for these two formative years and for the foundation YMLA helped build in our son.

We are so grateful we chose Young Minds for our daughter's TK year. It was truly one of the best…read moredecisions we made for her. Before TK, our daughter attended a play-based daycare. Since she is naturally shy and quiet, we wanted a program that would help her build confidence and prepare her for kindergarten. Young Minds exceeded our expectations. The teachers are caring, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping every child succeed. At first, our daughter needed time to adjust to a more structured classroom, but her teachers supported her every step of the way and helped her gain confidence. We loved how Young Minds balanced academics with fun. From art, music, sports, and holiday celebrations to hands-on learning activities like the Classroom Store, every day was engaging and meaningful. Our daughter loved earning coins and "shopping" for small prizes, and she couldn't wait to come home and tell us all about it. Over the course of the year, we saw an incredible transformation. She became more confident, independent, and outgoing, and she truly developed a love for learning. Most importantly, she loved going to school every day. Even now, she still tells us how much she misses her teachers and asks if we can go back to visit them. We are incredibly thankful for the wonderful teachers and the caring community at Young Minds. If you're looking for a TK program that will prepare your child for kindergarten while making them feel happy, supported, and excited to learn, we highly recommend Young Minds!

The kids have days filled with creative and exciting activities without any screen time (I've seen other preschools and daycare's with TVs in the classroom:( ). They also do much more thoughtful activities than just coloring and painting which I experienced at previous schools. I'm very appreciative of the diversity in the school. I toured many different schools throughout my son's time in preschool and this has been one of the most diverse that I've seen. My son's teacher is Ms Ingrid and she is very kind and thoughtful. It's been really sweet watching my son learning and taking interest in Spanish even though we do not speak Spanish at home. Also the owner, Ms Brittie is very involved and very quick to respond to parents. Overall, I feel that there is a lot of thought and intentionality put into the way that the school was designed and runs. research based and geared towards celebrating each child's individuality while still helping them develop, socially and academically. :)
