If you're looking for a place where your child can socialize, be cared for, and have lots of activities, this is a great option. But if you're expecting academic progress or an early start on reading and writing, this might not be the right fit.

They were able to register and start my 1 year old quickly which was really nice and after a few weeks my son adjusted and is already thriving. He knows more words, more sign language, is starting to sing more songs and it's so exciting to see him happy every time I pick him up :) Highly recommend sending your kiddo here! They will be in great hands.

I heard about this school from our friend and am so grateful they told us about them. The facility is great and our son has grown so much since being here. The teachers are very attentive to him and will let us know his progress and if he ever appears unwell. They are very patient with his feeding and is growing better at this school both intellectually and physically. The pricing is competitive and the hours work well for our work schedule. We love that they also take him outdoors as well and getting photo updates with our son smiling in all his activities. We look forward to seeing our son continue to grow with the great staff and infants!

We were lucky to find a school that puts the child's needs over your wallet. It is truly a diamond in the rough.

The school and play areas are very well kept, safe, and it genuinely feels welcoming. I highly recommend First Lutheran Preschool.

This school is such a blessing. I enrolled my son at 3yrs old. He was previously in home care with…read morea relative. They made his transition into a school/daycare environment so smooth and memorable. The staff truly connects with each individual child. They work so hard to provide them both structure and comfort. My son perfected his potty training shortly after entering this school. He grew excited for school and loved every day he spent here. Miss Nancy was so kind and patient as my son is energetic, and was still learning to perfect sharing playing with others. She along with whole staff truly helped shape him to be ready for Kindergarten. They also take the time to host such amazing events for the parents and kids. Getting them excited and invested in school. My only complaint is I wish I would have started my son here earlier to enjoy this school and amazing staff longer. 100% recommend this amazing school to any parents in the area looking for childcare. They offer great prices flexible pick up hours and scheduling. We absolutely love them!

Our son is about to "graduate" from Arcadia Playschool and it has been a great experience with the…read morePlayschool in the past 3 years. In the beginning, our son (18-month old) had challenges being with a group of friends and Mr. Dave, Ms. Ranum, and teachers had so much patience and positive attitude working with my son to overcome it. They assisted with the potty train process which helped us so much. The school also handled Covid situation well, and we never had to worry about it. Our son enjoys his time here. He makes good friends and he loves all the teachers from three different age classes. This place makes our parenting life to have one less thing to worry about. I recommend this school to all our friends and families. We have signed up our second son to be here and we will suggest you to take a tour to see it yourself!

This is a wonderful place and we are so glad our daughter could go here for her first school…read moreexperience. The owners and staff are attentive, accommodating, and easy to talk to. Our child began with major separation anxiety, but thanks to the teachers who stuck by her side, she began dancing and having fun in as little as four days and the crying at drop-off stopped after 2 weeks, at which point she began to run inside to be with her teachers and friends. The facility is very clean, safe, and built with growing kids in mind. They have a really good curriculum and great activities in each classroom. In the toddler class (ages 18-36mo & where our child was) they have a 6-to-1 child/teacher ratio. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that I wish we could get more photos/videos and updates throughout the day, but since I also don't want the teachers on cell-phones all day long, it's an okay trade off knowing that our kid will come home happy everyday and sometimes with cool art projects in hand! The staff also does a great job notifying us of any incidents (booboos, bites, runny noses) that need our immediate attention or knowledge. They have a good, effective covid policy in place too and if I'm not mistaken only one child tested positive for covid since the pandemic began, but the child stayed home and quarantined. The entire school/staff was then dismissed to get tested and the results were all negative. To protect everyone, they check everyone's temps upon arrival and they won't hesitate to send children home for high temps or any covid-like symptoms. I would highly recommend anyone to come here, especially if it's their child's first school. They do a wonderful job.

Update - over the last few months the school director, Cheryl Roberts and the lead teacher,…read moreFernanda Cuevas have gone so far and above what I could ever hope for from any school. Not only do they continue to help our daughter grow and give her the personalized attention she needs in class, on the playground, in daycare. But they have gone to the whole way to the mat for her to advocate for the essential services she will need to continue to learn and grow. Our daughter may well be stronger and even safer years after she graduates from AMS because of their limitless advocating for her. Separately, our daughter is now communicating at what an independent assessment has said is a level 1.5 years above her age group. And she's an increasingly confident and determined little person. Someplace else, she might be reciting more things by rote or I don't even know what skill someone might need a toddler to have. Instead, she can and will tackle anything. It just doesn't occur to her there's something she can't do. They are an enormous part of that. And just great partners in all aspects. I'm a better mom because I know them. Arcadia Montessori school is not just a school of magnificently talented, dedicated and kind people. They *love* their students. They advocate for and protect kids way beyond what one could reasonably expect from anyone other than immediate family. They just bring tears to my eyes - more than I'd like to admit! And just yesterday when I went to pick up our daughter who otherwise has deep separation anxiety said - mama, can you come back a little later?

Both of our kids have attended Arcadia Montessori School and we could not recommend this school…read moremore for young families. Both kids started at AMS around the age of 2.5, after they were potty trained. Both absolutely thrived in this environment and saw incredible development milestones throughout their time at AMS. The teachers and administration at this school are simply incredible. Each teacher and administrator showed an incredible amount of genuine attention and affection for our children. As children move through the school, through the different classes across age ranges, and through their development, each teacher has age-appropriate and individual child specific support for the little ones. We unfortunately started at this school during Covid so we had limited access and engagement early on. However, as things reopened, we had an ability to come to the school for events, come make independent visits, and engage more in the day-to-day activities of our kids. Under the leadership of Mrs. Cheryl Roberts, our children were provided with an incredibly supportive environment to learn, grow, and to most importantly be kids. Our children showed incredible development throughout their time at AMS. I can confidently say that their reading, speech, math, and life skills developed significantly because of the attention and help of the teachers and administration of the school.

From the very first day, Ms. Asha and all the amazing teachers have welcomed her with warmth and kindness, creating a safe and loving space where she could truly thrive. Their patience, encouragement, and dedication to each child's unique growth have been inspiring to witness. The Montessori approach here has helped her become more independent, focused, and eager to learn--whether it's mastering practical life skills, exploring hands-on activities, or learning to be a caring friend. Sunshine Montessori has been more than a preschool for us; it's been a community and a second home. We are deeply grateful for the incredible foundation they've given her and the happy memories she will carry forward.
