She has many years of experience both as a daycare center staff as well as running her own in-home daycare, she provides 3 meals plus all snacks and milk, her home is in a cul-de-sac, pricing is reasonable with no hidden fees, and she is easy to work with. Bonus points for the holiday crafts and events. All the kids I've met clearly love her and her daycare. We will definitely miss Pegah's daycare once we move on to preschool.

We are very thankful that through this daycare our daughter became more independent. Learned how to be friendly and mingle with all other kids. Learned how to talk especially with her words, numbers and letters. Also, learned how to eat on her own as well. We are very appreciative of Pegah of what my daughter has become this past year.  With the limited time we have with our daughter during the work week, Pegah was able to fill the teaching part of it. She is 2years and 5mos now and doing great. She is always excited to go to daycare and loves Pegah. Thank you Pegah!!! I would 100% recommend Pegah's Daycare, as she is great at what she does.

We love Walnut Country Preschool! My oldest son went here for two years (3s and 4s program) and had…read morea wonderful time. He enjoyed the play based learning environment, the large indoor and outdoor spaces and the amazing, caring teachers. Our family truly cannot say enough good things about this school. Not only did my son have fun, but he was really prepared for kindergarten. He is in kindergarten now and performing at a higher level than some of his peers and I know that it is due to his preschool education. There are four teachers and I really feel that the low student to teacher ratio is important in this stage of learning. Being in a great school like this for two years helped my shy son blossom into a confident kiddo who enjoys school. It's evident that the teachers really enjoy their jobs and do great work with the kids. Currently my youngest son is attending preschool here and enjoys is as well! This preschool is also wonderful for the great community that it fosters. There are a number of family and parent only nights where you get to know the other families. Parents are allowed to volunteer in the classroom and get involved in so many ways. I highly recommend this preschool!

Not only is it easy on me (I work remote from home), but they do enrichment activities, have educational time, and he's able to play and socialize among his peers as well.

Alla also offers many options to fit your family's needs and is so helpful in customizing care and a schedule to best fit your needs! There is nothing better than dropping your child off somewhere you trust and your child is excited to be! We plan on bringing our (now newborn) daughter there when she's older! Highly highly recommend!

My daughter needed more socializing before she starts school next year (she was born during Covid and is an only child), and they really take the time to help break her out of her shell. She especially loves their yoga and dance breaks. She's always coming home with projects and artwork that she's proud of and she speaks of Ms. Alla fondly. They go over and beyond to make things special for the kids - including having a jumping house, puppet shows, guest bunnies to pet, and even had a dental hygienist come teach them about their teeth. My daughter is even doing better with counting and the alphabet! We're on a drop-in basis and still feel incredibly welcomed. I love how they have newsletters, so you know what to expect for the season and even what the kids will be learning weekly. My husband and I try to contribute as much as possible because they show how much they truly care. We love them!!

It met my three non-negotiables: play-based learning, small class size, and quality educators. I am very pleased with the staff professionalism and home-school communication. The director, Mrs. McCracken, is very responsive to any questions or concerns, and she replies to emails so promptly. Responses are always more than adequate. The classroom teacher, Ms. Soares, is very knowledgeable and responsive, too. She sends weekly lessons plans and a daily recap of the children's day. Lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate. Also, she stays on top of kiddo's food allergy, especially when here are special events and the kids get little treats. Ms. Soares just has everything under control. The second classroom teacher, Miss Maddie, is always upbeat and positive. There are fun events for the children planned throughout the year, and sometimes there are opportunities for parent participation. It is such a treat to surprise my kiddo at school by showing up for a class party. My son just loves his teacher and is blossoming. CCC is truly a warm and welcoming community.

The teachers do an incredible job following the children's interests, turning everyday moments into exciting discoveries. We've loved watching the caterpillars transform into beautiful butterflies right in the classroom, and the greenhouse project has been magical--seeing the seeds sprout and grow has taught my little one so much about patience, nature, and science. Simple experiments like testing whether pumpkins sink or float had my child bouncing with excitement to get to school each morning, eager to see what they'd learn next. The kids are never just babysat; they're actively engaged, exploring, creating, and building confidence through Montessori curriculum . The small teacher-to-student ratios mean every child gets personalized attention, and you can truly see the joy on their faces when they walk through the door. If you're looking for a nurturing, enriching program that celebrates childhood and fosters a love of learning, Angel's Montessori is the place. We're so grateful to be part of this community!
