My grandchild is spicy and they still managed to work with them and teach them ways to cope with strong feelings while at school. This has trickled down to the home as well.

We reached out right away, explained everything and asked if they could make an exception. They absolutely could have if they wanted to, but instead chose to charge us close to $2,000 and kept pointing us back to the contract and legal language. I even appealed directly to both the outgoing and incoming heads of the school, hoping there would be some understanding given the circumstances and how quickly we notified them. Unfortunately, there was none. The saving grace for us was my son's teachers, Mr. Rao and Mrs. Joshi. They were wonderful and we genuinely appreciated them. Beyond that, I was never particularly impressed with the administration or the overall experience. For a school that positions itself as a premier institution and has so many positive accolades, our experience was very different. To us, it felt like a pretty average/subpar school packaged and marketed as something much more. If you are considering AIA, just make sure you read every line of what you sign. Don't assume there will be any flexibility or understanding even when circumstances change within a matter of days.

Reposting from my Google review:…read more A den of thieves. We started at VMS in Jan 2020, and in March 2020 we had to pull out our child because of COVID lockdowns. VMS asked us to continue paying, which we did, because we understood that it was a hard time for everyone. We did not attend during Fall 2020 and started back in January 2021. Everything was fine. Summer of 2021 we were told students would not be required to wear masks (a requirement for us to send our child, which they knew). About two weeks after school started they reversed this decision, so we got a medical exemption for our child, as did several other parents. About a week after receiving medical exemption, they decided to reverse this as well and revoked all medical exemptions, and yet still expect us to continue paying. We even appealed to the school but were met with ridicule and condescension. We have been literally laughed at and disregarded. This is a school of indoctrination not education. It is a school that teaches children to obey and not to question. If you are trying to find a private school because you're worried about the incompetency of our government and do not want to be forced to obey their arbitrary unscientific mandates and restrictions which are imposed on public schools, this is not the school for you and I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

We recently made the decision to move our child to Preston Ridge after several years at another…read moreschool, and we were honestly nervous about making such a big change. Moving a young child away from a familiar environment, teachers, and friends is never easy. We were so pleasantly surprised by how smooth the transition was, and we truly credit the warm and welcoming environment at Preston Ridge. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely sweet with the children. Ms. Affy and Ms. Sumi have been especially wonderful with our child. They've been so attentive, caring, and thoughtful in getting to know her and making sure she feels supported. From the very beginning, our child felt comfortable and welcomed, which gave us so much peace of mind as parents. She's excited to go to school every day, has settled in naturally, and is really thriving. Seeing her build relationships with her teachers and classmates and become so confident in a new environment has been such a relief to us. One of the things that really stands out to us is how thoughtful the school is about the children's overall well-being. They have an in-house chef, and we recently learned that the meals are prepared without added salt or sugar. Even for occasional treats, they use alternatives like maple syrup rather than processed sugar. Those kinds of details really matter to us. The food already tastes great, but knowing that the school is so thoughtful about what goes into it makes it even better. The cameras are another feature we really appreciated, especially during the transition. Sometimes you just miss your kid in the middle of the day, and being able to take two minutes to check in and see them in the classroom is such a nice reassurance as a parent. I don't find myself checking nearly as much now that our child is fully settled, but in those early weeks, it made a big difference. We also really like the school's approach to learning. There's a strong Montessori component, with an emphasis on allowing children to take the lead and building on their interests. At the same time, the teachers do a great job introducing activities and concepts that help prepare them for the next stage, including kindergarten. It feels like a good balance between following the child and making sure they're developing the skills they need. I especially like that the teachers find ways to make learning interesting and engaging while still making sure the kids are learning what they need to learn. Ms. Nikki, the director, has also made a great impression on us. She's clearly passionate about the school and is constantly looking for ways to improve an already wonderful environment. She's approachable, open to feedback, and makes a real effort to hear from parents and understand what is working and what could be even better. We are so grateful that we found Preston Ridge. After getting to know the school, the teachers, and the way they care for and educate the children, we feel confident that we made the right decision for our family. We would absolutely recommend Preston Ridge to other families looking for a nurturing environment, thoughtful teachers, strong early education, and leadership that genuinely cares.
