I was given very detailed information about what the program would entail and was able to see a class in session before enrolling. As my son completes pre-k in a few weeks, I have to give a shout out to Ms. Mayte and the team (especially Ms. Seena and Ms. Miriam) for all they have done for us. My son started the school year pretty shy and apprehensive and has blossomed into a bubbly and social preschooler. It's been an amazing thing to see. The school gives us regular updates throughout the week on the Brightwheel app and anytime I've had any questions or needed some time to chat, I would hear back from his teachers promptly. We get photos through the app as well that are always exciting. Sometimes it's a snap of playtime, a celebration, or completing a milestone and receiving kudos. Along with the basics of letters and numbers, my son has gotten to learn about different cultural holidays and has loved telling us what he's learned. He always seems to be doing a new activity and doing the half day program has definitely been the right choice for our family. Ms. Mayte took the time to really get to know our son and has been instrumental in all areas of his development this year. I can only hope that he will continue to have great teachers for the rest of his academic journey!

I was initially concerned whether this would be a good fit, considering my kids were coming from a minimally structured environment but with time and probably a lot of patients from the teachers settled in! Mrs Shanika and her staff are a special group, and my kids adore them all. Mrs Shanika always makes her self available to address any issues or concerns I have had.

As a commuting parent, finding a safe, reliable…read more after-school care program with transportation was a huge priority for my 4 year old, and this school has been an absolute lifesaver! Knowing my child is picked up on time, in a clearly labeled car by a uniformed staff member, gives me complete peace of mind. They use an amazing app that updates every 5-10 minutes, so I can see exactly what my child is doing throughout the afternoon. I also appreciate that I can plan ahead to meet the designated staff member who is scheduled to pick up my child (since pick-up staff may vary). Communication is excellent, you can text the driver and even the owner directly with any questions or requests, and they respond quickly. As a parent who once spent hours searching for a trustworthy transportation service for my 4-year-old, I can honestly say this program stands out for its professionalism, safety, and genuine care. It's such a relief to know my child is in good hands until I can get there. If you've had a negative experience with this school in the past, I encourage you to give it another chance. The program is now under new management, and the owner Vantika is really great to work with.

The people we leave our kids with-- it's like leaving your heart and someone else's hands. The teachers at TLC Monticello are some of the most caring and professional individuals I have ever met! Not only are they great teachers, but they get to know your kid on a personal level. They learn their unique personality traits, from their cues on when they need to use the bathroom, to inside jokes. As an added plus, the property feels very secure, being attached to the elementary school. We love the TLC staff and look forward to bringing all our kids to this daycare!

Each individual teacher genuinely cared about her growth, both academically and socially, and it showed in her confidence and excitement every day. By the time she transitioned to TK, she was more than prepared. She had a strong foundation in early learning, knew how to work independently and with others, and felt comfortable in a classroom setting. The skills and confidence she gained at this preschool made the transition incredibly smooth. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication of Miss Reann and her team of amazing teachers. This preschool gave our daughter an amazing start, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a place where their child will thrive.

My experience with Bella Vista Christian Academy was beyond disappointing, and I ultimately removed…read moremy children because of it. The overall environment felt negative and, at times, openly unkind. I witnessed staff speaking to students in ways that were belittling and inappropriate. In one instance, a teacher used name-calling toward students--something that should never happen in any school, especially one that claims to reflect Christian values. Administration was equally frustrating. Concerns from both parents and students were consistently dismissed rather than addressed. Instead of feeling heard, I felt brushed off and judged. During a very difficult time in my personal life, I expected neutrality and professionalism, but instead experienced what felt like bias and a lack of basic understanding. Leadership was particularly concerning. While interactions could appear polite on the surface, the follow-through told a very different story. Decisions felt inconsistent and unfair, making it hard to trust the administration at all. The front office experience made things even worse. Shannon, who is often the first point of contact, was repeatedly rude and unprofessional in my interactions. The tone was unwelcoming and dismissive, which sets a terrible example for both families and students. First impressions matter, and in this case, they reflected a much deeper problem within the school culture. To be fair, not every staff member reflects this environment--Mrs. Quilcy stands out as kind, patient, and genuinely supportive of students. She deserves recognition for the way she treats families. Unfortunately, one positive example does not outweigh the broader issues. For a school that promotes faith and character, the lack of compassion, professionalism, and willingness to listen was deeply disappointing. I cannot recommend this school to families looking for a supportive and respectful environment

He previously attended…read morea preschool located in a public elementary which was okay but this one by far exceeds our expectations. I transferred him mainly because I wanted him to have more one-on-one attention and better nutrition options. Favorite Pros: 1) Ms. Kaja's kind, warm, nurturing demeanor and Montessori-inspired teaching style. 2) Nutritious meals/snacks and she encourages little ones to participate in preparation. See their menu updated weekly. They also brush after lunch. 3) Superfluous amounts of learning tools/toys/art projects for engaging very young minds. 4) Professional progress reports and picture montage shared at conference time. The school is located in a home but it is far from your typical home daycare aka just a converted Living Room. The whole first floor appears solely dedicated to the school plus a great outdoor space in the backyard. There are 3 separate learning rooms plus the kitchen and restroom. There is a park around the corner from the school as well that they visit occasionally. If you're looking for a lovely and trustworthy low-ratio child care facility that provides real meals and snacks (not just cut up, high sugar Costco treats) with a well-educated and experienced teacher, I highly recommend Strawberry School.
