I was in an accident that limited my mobility, and so many parents held open doors, offered to carry things, and expressed words of motivation and support. Several even helped me push my son's stroller into the school, which nearly brought me to tears. The teachers, especially Miss Kayla and Miss Fatima have been so supportive and stepped in to help with our son while supporting him through the various transitions in this healing process. Miss Adriane has also been so kind checking in each morning with her thoughtful smile and encouraging words. We have been a part of this community since our son was 5 months old and we are grateful for all he has learned and grown. The team has worked with us through several parenting challenges and we are so thankful for their knowledge, care and concern.

The teachers and staff are exceptional; they create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes both children and parents feel right at home. My daughter attended for three wonderful years, forming lasting friendships and building a strong foundation for her education. Thanks to the exceptional preparation she received, she transitioned into kindergarten confidently, exceeding the average expectations of the curriculum. I am incredibly grateful for how this preschool has paved the way for her educational journey. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Rayna, Ms. Jerilen, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Emily and the entire Little Rascals team for their dedication and support. I can't wait to enroll my two-year-old son in the program when he's old enough, so he can enjoy the same enriching experience his sister had!

Every month the school sends out the curriculum and theme they follow, and days are filled with fun activities, dress up ideas and projects all focused on learning. You get a full schedule (art, circle time, literacy, outdoor and STEAM) of what they do and updates of their day via the app. I loved seeing pictures of my child enjoying each project they curated for the week. The children are so loved and nurtured, you can tell teachers are intentional about their care towards each child. Snacks are always healthy and yummy! They've managed to get my kid snacking on veggies. Go figure. Furthermore, as a mother of two children on two campuses- the rooms were always very clean or being cleaned. As many of you know, preschools can be a breeding ground for a plethora of germs and I'm glad Little Ivy does all they can to combat that. So thank you Miss Angie, Miss Verenice, Miss Heidi, Miss Erica, Miss Ana, Miss Monica, Miss Clovelly and Miss Briana. My child has been forever changed by you.

Simone has created something remarkable. With over 20 years in early childhood education, a Master's in Early Childhood Education, and a background in psychology, she brings an incredible depth of knowledge to the school. But what impressed us just as much is how much she genuinely cares. She is constantly going above and beyond to create a magical experience not only for the children, but for the families as well. From community-building events and moms' and dads' nights out to thoughtfully curated classroom experiences, you can feel how intentional everything is. The curriculum is one of the school's greatest strengths. Rather than following a static program, each unit is child-led and immersive. During our time there, our daughter explored topics like architecture, airplanes, insects, and famous artists. She came home excited to tell us about Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, and Van Gogh, and her artistic abilities and confidence have flourished in ways we never expected at her age. Every theme feels carefully designed with hands-on experiences that make children genuinely excited to learn. Oftentimes parents are invited to shows ending the larger projects. The teaching staff deserves equal recognition. Simone has surrounded herself with educators who have dedicated themselves to early childhood education. They aren't simply hourly childcare workers--they are professionals who understand child development and clearly love what they do. We've been so grateful for the consistency, warmth, and enthusiasm of Astrid, Stephanie, and Jocelyn over the years. Seeing the same familiar, smiling faces each day gave our daughter wonderful continuity and helped create such a secure environment. One of the things we appreciated most was that the children are outside almost every day, regardless of the weather. It teaches resilience, fosters a love of nature, keeps them active, and encourages imaginative play in a way that's difficult to replicate inside four walls. We've never referred to Seasons as a daycare because that's simply not what it is. It is a preschool in the truest sense of the word; a place that nurtures curiosity, confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We feel incredibly fortunate that our family found Seasons. Our daughter has thrived there, and there isn't a stronger endorsement we could give than the fact that our younger daughter will be attending as soon as she's old enough.

The teachers are true professionals: knowledgeable, experienced, and the perfect balance of structured yet kind. The school is expertly designed by Simone who holds a Masters in Early Childhood education with decades of experience. Every detail from the mud kitchen, to the various imaginative play areas, to the garden, to the sand area encourage learning in various essential ways. The school is child-led in many of the activities and units of study, yet the staff has the developmental goals of students are always carefully woven in. We had a choice of doing a 3rd year at Seasons or TK and we chose Seasons for the staff and the beautiful community they have built.

My daughter has been at Hopper Creek Montessori for over a year, and the growth we've seen in her…read morehas been incredible. She started off shy and quiet, but now she confidently walks up to kids on the playground and makes friends with ease. Her language has taken off, and she comes home every day full of stories, artwork, and excitement. The environment is warm, calm, and joyful--kids are truly allowed to be kids here. They're free to play, be messy, be silly, and explore at their own pace. The structure is thoughtful but not rigid, and it makes all the difference. Brenna and Tamara are amazing. Brenna is always there--literally. She greets families every morning and is deeply involved in every part of the day. She's constantly bringing in new activities and makes sure each child feels seen and supported. Tamara is so kind and nurturing, and my daughter adores her. One of my favorite things about Hopper Creek is that I'm welcome to stay and watch my daughter play at pick-up. Whether she's building a city with blocks or coloring with friends, I get to quietly join in--those moments are priceless.
