He has been there for four years and is now in the transition class. He begs to go every day and we have loved every single teacher there! It is a church preschool but it is not fire and brimstone as my daughter's was. They sent home a find the objects worksheet when she was 4 that had her find the bloody nails in Jesus' hands, the crown of thorns, and the faces in the fire. Really? at 4? Soapstone has always been age appropriate and teaches with love and compassion! You will not regret checking out this amazing place for your child!

From the owner: Soapstone Preschool is a ministry of Soapstone United Methodist Church offering genuine love and…read morecare to children and families in a safe, nurturing Christian environment. We believe every child is special and we strive to help them grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Learning is fostered through age-appropriate learning centers and hands-on activities that encourage positive socialization with teachers and peers. Parent involvement is vital and we welcome them as partners in our preschool family. Our History: Soapstone Preschool began in 1991 as a cooperative Mother's Morning Out program one day a week. Over the past twenty years, the preschool has grown and evolved. Currently there are 12 classes with 110 children enrolled and a staff of 22. We are looking forward to the 2017-2018 school year as we serve our church and community. It's exciting to watch our program grow throughout the years and to realize how much God has richly blessed us.

This review is for the pool only! I signed up for baby swim lessons here as a bunch of my friends…read moresigned up as well. The term lesson is a loose term and it is more about getting your baby use to the water which is perfect for the under one age. The pool is always very clean and there always tends to be a chair or two open to set all of our stuff down on. A big plus is that they let you swim around after swim lessons so it is a great way to get the babe tuckered out before nap time. Snack bar is okay and a good place to grab a drink or snack. The only downside is this place really is in the middle of nowhere (to me), super North Raleigh. I wish it was closer so I could participate in more activities here!

The only reason she didn't continue was the fact that the location was no longer convenient to our family. The owners were always available to answer questions or respond to messages. The teachers were AMAZING. During the 5 years we attended, my children came to adore the core staff and teachers. They were attentive and caring. I always knew my children were safe and loved! Although each age group had a core learning curriculum, my oldest learned everything she needed to start Kindergarten. Even though there were occasional staff changes, my children always had a place to be, even during Covid updates and changes. The center was decently priced for the area. I would highly recommend for children of all ages.

Best preschool in Raleigh-bar none! We have been with this…read morepreschool for 6 years now. All four of our children have attended and now only our youngest child is left as the older siblings have moved on to elementary school! So only 2 more years left of GSLP! Bittersweet! As a newer mother when I was researching all the local preschools I was directed to GSLP by a dear friend whom I admired. I visited them all, asked lots of questions and by far, GSLP was the most prepared, most cost efficient and most qualified. I personally really like the schedule and the times the preschool runs. 9:30am is after the early morning rush so it is the PERFECT starting time. And the fact that the children get to have lunch there-what a blessing! So many other preschools end around lunchtime-and they cost the same if not more for having children there for less hours! (Why? Hmmmm...I dunno!) 1:20pm is a great endidng time because it is after lunch so you don't have to deal with the hurry to get the kids fed right after picking them up, yet it is still before afternoon quiet times (which all younger children, in my humble opinion, should have. Saves mom from going insane and gives them some time to themselves. THAT in and of itself can be talked about for hours....Ok, I digress....) All of the teachers are certified and have extensive backgrounds in teaching. Their curriculum is superb and all of our children have fond memories of GSLP. The parents are very involved and frankly, as each year passes the school improves even when I think it can't improve any more! The Director, Deanna Klimek, is very hands on. Her staff responds well with her and you can tell they all really enjoy working together. Their biggest love, and rightfully so-is the children! Oh how they all love those precious children! We have never doubted our decision to send our children to Good Shepherd. I encourage every parent who is wondering where to send his/her children-to just register those little one/s! You will be so glad you did!!

We love coming into school each day and are always greeted by the Director, Deanna, and Mr. Mike.

Chesterbrook assured us we'd likely get in within about six months. Fast-forward seven months: we received an email letting us know we won't be getting off the waitlist after all. But no worries- Chesterbrook (and their capital partner, Primavera Capital Group) has generously volunteered to keep our $100 registration fee for "safe keeping." So unless you've got the right connections and can pull some strings, save yourself the donation and don't bother.

Sonia and Janae are responsive and each of our child's teachers were exceptional. We recently had to move daycares because we ended up not buying a home near Primrose School of Hilburn. We were very sad to leave them, and we wish them the best! If there are any negatives, the 'carpool lane' is not always treated as a quick in and out, and you can often get stuck behind cars of parents that go inside and take their time getting out. The hours (7 AM to 6 PM) are a little shorter than other daycares we looked at. And, the holiday schedule seems to provide a few additional days off than we were accustomed to. We viewed each of these items as being very minor, and overall, we were very happy with our Primrose experience!

Our…read moreoldest transferred over from another school because we moved across town, and I was a nervous wreck about the transition. But the teachers and administrators worked so hard to ensure a smooth transition. They kept us up-to-date on his progress (and even called throughout the day to let us know that even with a rough drop off in the morning, he was having so much fun with his new friends shortly afterwards), and gave us tips to make the change easier. We have loved the teachers in every classroom that he has progressed to. With our youngest, there was no doubt he would also be joining his big brother. Dropping off an infant is always rough the first few weeks, but it was such natural experience at that point and the teachers are so caring with the babies, that I don't think a tear was shed (so different from my firstborn!). We love being able to follow their daily activities on their secure app, and they send us pictures throughout the day and summaries of what they learned and how we can continue with the lessons at home (ex. 'Toddlers did rhyming today, what kind of rhymes can you two come up with for the word xyz'). I had always thought that I would transfer our kids to preschool when the time came, but I see how much they learn every day at Primrose and know that we'll just make the switch to Kindergarten when the time comes. It's a great, involved school, where your kids are really cared for. All of the teachers, administrators, chef, etc know both of my kids by name and my toddler is always excited to give them hugs or run up for a high five. Extra bonus: It's close to Target so when we're in a rush to grab something on the way to pickup, we can always swing by Target for more diapers, etc.
