As a parent, I was heartbroken and worried about how he would adjust. Ms. Katy, the Director, gave me hope when she assured me that they would work with both Kayden and me. On his second day, he continued to struggle, but his teacher, Tiffany, reassured me that things would get better. Together, we shared ideas to help with his transition. Since then, Kayden has made amazing progress. The crying and screaming have greatly improved, and today my tears were happy tears. Creative Day Preschool never gave up on my child. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a caring and supportive environment. Thank you, Ms. Katy, Director of Creative Day Preschool, Teacher Tiffany, and the entire staff for helping my son feel at home.

My daughter was in Ms. Donna's preschool class and we are so grateful for her and Ms. Susie and Ms…read more Sandy. From day one, they created a safe, fun, and loving environment where the kids were always engaged and excited to learn. We especially appreciated the ClassDojo updates -- it was so nice to see pictures and notes about their activities each day. It really made us feel connected and reassured. The class was always full of creative lessons, thoughtful themes, and special events with cute dress-up days that made preschool such a memorable experience. My daughter's academics, social skills, and her communication have grown so much, and we know it's because of the care and dedication from her teachers. We truly recommend this cozy, wonderful school to anyone looking for a place where their child will be nurtured, celebrated, and loved.

My son has been attending this preschool for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the…read moreexperience we've had. The teachers here genuinely care for the children's well-being first and foremost, and it really shows in the way they interact with the students every day. Miss Donna, in particular, has been such a blessing to my son's growth and learning. She takes time out of her day to ensure the kids are not only learning but also feeling safe, supported, and encouraged. Miss Susie and Miss Sandy are also absolutely amazing--together, they create a nurturing, positive, and fun environment for the kids. And I can't forget Miss Shannon, who runs the school so well and makes sure everything flows smoothly for both students and parents. As a parent of a child with health issues, I feel an extra sense of comfort knowing the teachers will pay close attention to him, assess him if anything seems off, and contact me right away if needed. That kind of care and attentiveness gives me so much peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is the open communication. I've always felt welcome and never "shut out" of what's going on at the school. They make sure parents are included and informed, which builds such a great relationship between teachers and families. The school also goes above and beyond when it comes to activities--there's always something fun, engaging, and educational planned. From themed days to hands-on learning, the kids are never bored! I've recommended this school to so many people already, and I'll continue to do so. I'm so grateful for the care, attention, and love they pour into these kids every single day. If you're looking for a preschool that truly feels like family, this is it!

My son had never been watched by anyone but his parents and 2 grandmothers so I didn't take choosing a school lightly. He was so loved, comforted when needed, so well taken care of! This isn't a drop off and kids do whatever they want all day. There is structure, teaching, learning of Jesus, so many activities, art work, etc. Communication is excellent, any issue is resolved in a timely matter and with reassurance. Photos are posted often to see what activities they're doing. "Ms Amy's school" is a true 10/10 and I'm so thankful to them for loving and caring for my son, it truly helped him transition to Kindergarten effortlessly. We will miss them dearly.

I will be updating this review as more time passes with the school and my child. As of today i love the daily pictures and updates in the portal. Very nice touch!

I started looking for preschools back when my son was still an infant, and I am so glad BESA was my…read morefirst choice! This school goes above and beyond to provide appropriate, individualized care for every child. They offer every opportunity for children to receive high quality learning experiences and diverse cultures. Their teachers are also incredibly knowledgable about child development which is surprisingly rare among preschools. My son has been attending since early 2022, and he has grown in so many ways! We are a primarily English and Vietnamese speaking home, so it has been really cool to watch him also learn and utilize Spanish on a regular basis due to his education at BESA. He also has a strong desire to learn to read, and his gross motor skills have come such a long way because of the daily opportunities he gets to run outside and play with peers! He also used to be a very picky eater, but since attending BESA he has begun to expand his palate and will try just about anything. He has also cultivated a love and appreciation for animals and nature itself, I believe due to his time in and around the school garden and its bunnies. During apple season, he would come home almost every day with an apple from the tree in their play yard. Green apples are now his absolute favorite fruit! BESA does accept subsidized care which has been a godsend. I thought because I could not afford preschool on my own, my son's educational opportunities would be limited. Not only has my son learned and grown so much (showing off the yoga, Spanish, math, and letters he learns daily), but BESA has also championed ME as a mom and human being! Their support has encouraged and allowed me to return to school and work which has given our family the chance it deserves to grow as a whole. Finally (though I could go on and on), I am grateful for their support of my family's unique parenting experience. My son's dad lives out of state, and we include bonus mama in our parenting decisions. BESA has gone above and beyond to make all three of us feel like equal partners in our son's education and development. They have been responsive and supportive each time we hit a behavioral challenge with our son, and they have been great with ensuring we are all involved and informed with their next steps as well as genuinely asking how they can support practices we already have at home. BESA really does intentionally hit all the parts of their name. High quality bilingual education, appreciation and cultivation of environmental science, intentional incorporation of all the arts (dance, music, visual, etc), which have supported academic development and absolute thriving socioemotional growth. Grateful to BESA in so many ways. If you're considering attending or getting on the waitlist, do NOT wait. Best early education decision I could have made for our family was attending BESA!

Within a few months of my child attending, I decided to pull her out. Though the front staff was…read morevery nice and respectful in the beginning , the teacher and her classroom aids behavior was outlandish. The last straw was when I spoke with the principal about having a parent teacher conference. I did not speak with my daughter about this and called the principal in the car after forgetting I was off for the day. After the conversation, I decided I would pick my daughter up early, instead of driving home and having to turn around and get her. I picked her up and she told me all about how the teacher and her aid loudly spoke in front of the class about how she's not going to meet with me and she's tired of me complaining. I knew she couldn't of made it up, because I just called and spoke with the principal in the CAR and now I'm picking her up 30 mins after the conversation and my 8 year old knew every detail. She said it made her feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.I did follow up with the principal about that. The next week front offices attitudes greatly shifted towards me. That same week, my daughter was accused of writing a note and was verbally reprimanded. Upon investigating it was found that an older student in the bathroom told her to write the note. That was the same student who "found " her with the note and reported her. It was clearly a set up because the older student did not receive any reprimand. There was no follow up and my daughter's verbal reprimand remained. No! I pulled her out at the end of the semester! Another parent pulled their child the following week. Some parents love it and have been there for years no problem so it honestly just depends.

Highly don't recommend any parent to put their children in this school . My daughter attended this…read moreschool since kindergarten, and while things started out fine, her last two years here were very disappointing. The staff are consistently disrespectful and rude, often speaking to the children in an outrageous and unprofessional manner. My child, along with many others, would frequently complain about how the staff treated them--not only during school hours, but also in before- and after-school programs. I had to visit the office several times to address these concerns with the principal, but there was never a real solution. Instead of handling situations appropriately, the staff seems to write students up for the smallest issues--forgetting that kids are just being kids, and not every situation warrants a disciplinary report. The front office staff are equally unprofessional, often speaking disrespectfully to parents and even gossiping about families and students with other staff. This creates unnecessary drama and a toxic environment. Rather than uplifting children, this school tears them down. It claims to be a Christian school, but sadly, the values and conduct of the staff do not reflect Christian principles. After everything my daughter and I experienced, I ultimately made the difficult decision to withdraw her from this school.
