It says a lot about a company if they can keep their staff longer than a year. They feel like an extended version of my own family. The founders are always coming up with fun ideas involving family engagement. Their preschool program they have is amazing. They have laid wonderful foundations for all my children to be able to read. They have been the best daycare I have ever taken my children to.

Review Unfortunately, this place is not what we thought it…read morewas going to be. After 5 weeks, they kicked my 10 month old baby out with the excuse that she was not adjusting well, that she was sad and crying all the time. They completely disregard the fact that she has only been in there for 5 weeks and the fact that out of those 5 weeks she got sick twice. Of course while being sick she was not brought in; therefore, she had to adjust each time all over again. They keep saying they cared for her and what not, but still kicked her out. They had no tolerance and no patience. According to them, she was a bother and didn't let her teacher take care of the other kiddos. But they had the nerve to say they could keep taking care of her until I found a new daycare. They must've thought I am naive enough to continue to bring my daughter to a place where clearly she's not welcome. Clearly all they cared for was the money. They wanted to keep getting paid. Of course I didn't agree and asked for my money back. Here are some recommendations: 1- learn how to handle situations like this properly. There's no need to kick out a kid after 5 week and 0 proper routine. A chat should've been done and maybe 2-3 months of trying to figure out how to help the kid adjust. 2- not all parents can leave their jobs to Pick up their kids simply because they are "sad" and crying. They are babies and crying normal. Proper Adjustment takes time. No need to be messaging each time a kid is Sad worrying the parent simply because you can't or don't know how to do your job. 3- if the daycare opens at 6:30, then all teachers should be there 5-10 mins before. More often than not, the teacher was exiting her car and walking in as I was doing the same. Clearly the teacher was not ready to start her day. In multiple occasions I had to leave my kid with an older class teacher because her own teacher was running behind. I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

The school is aesthetically appealing, clean, high ceilings, lots of natural light/windows & subdued colors. They really work hard to make the environment soothing for the children. On any given day you will hear soothing music playing, smell essential oils being defused. The little ones are taught about grace, courtesy, social skills, conflict resolution, self help skills/autonomy, self soothing, etc. They really teach to the whole child. They don't put math/science/reading above any other life skills, which is huge. Many days they have "gratitude circle, meditation circle, or massage circle," where they get to practice these skills. The stimuli/materials available also make learning fun. They are made from natural materials so you don't need to worry about what is off gassing/leaching around your child. And, they are so visually appealing, little hands want to reach for them. These Montessori materials make abstract concepts become concrete & fun to master. The staff members know the children intimately, due to the small size of the school. From admin to assistants the adults are patient, enthusiastic & energetic with the children. We love the school. Mrs. Sam, my son's teacher is a rock star. She is equal parts strict and spunky. In her calm/quiet way she teaches children about boundaries, and yet she is so full of pizzazz. Mrs. Claudia has compassion & grace for days. Mrs. Lisa (front desk) always has a smile & wonderful recommendations/solutions. Ms. Maddie is by far the most compassionate, attuned & in touch principal I have ever met. Ms. Z will patiently and enthusiastically answer your little ones 391 questions! Ms. Isa will cut you grace when your little human makes a less than stellar choice, if she got a penny for every time she said, "That's okay, don't worry," she would be in the top 1%. I am an educator myself & have worked in many different districts, this school is truly a gem. We are so blessed to have found it. The children are truly treated like family, loved on, safe, nurtured & can therefor thrive.

Kids can stay for a set number of hours per day. Our daughter goes part time and is three. Caring staff, so glad we found it!

(one of the reviews) was exaggerating the truth when she talked about her grandson. I was part of the recital that year, and he was so cute! Though he did not get as much stage time as he deserved, he was dancing for the majority of his class's number. He was a ladybug with the most adorable collared shirt. He was the only male in the class, and his dance was almost exactly like his classmates. For the recital, be warned, the performance has always been held in June, and measurements for the costumes are usually taken in December. If your child is growing at a rapid rate, be sure to ask them to "be a little bit bigger" for the measurements. Most classes generally begin to learn their dances in January or earlier, depending on the class. In my experience, anyone below the pre-pointe class has one dance with his or her class, and then performs in the opening and grand finale. For those starting pointe, Miss Penny sells shoes for around $60. (believe it or not, that's really cheap!) however, she only sells a few styles, and only Capezio. In your child's first year of pointe, I assumed that at least one of the three days each week would be spent on regular ballet slippers, but this is not so. From the very first day with pointe shoes, a pupil will be dancing on pointe shoes for one hour. Yes, in the beginning it does NOT feel good, but I truly believe it has led me to grow stronger, value physical effort, and live a healthier lifestyle. If your child does not feel fitted to Miss Penny's Pointe shoes, I would recommend Puttin' On The Glitz, which is located nearby. They are very knowledgeable and have a great selection. For regular slippers, I would recommend Revolution Dancewear's shoes with a stretchy middle. These allow growth, both because of the stretchy middle, and the leather, which can expand half an inch, maximum. Mine lasted me three years, while I was growing. Though Miss Penny can seem intimidating, she does not mean to be, and does not instruct the younger students. She begins teaching pupils once a week when they start in their first year of pointe, with younger instructors doing the other days. The younger teachers are also in charge of the younger classes. For the younger classes, there is the teen instructor that has gone through careful scrutinization, and then there is a student teacher, who can be anywhere from 10-14. As for the number of days per week, I believe that young classes are taught once a week, and I know that starting in pre-pointe, 2 days is the norm. In beginning pointe, there are 3 days.

The teachers and owners are so invested in all of the kids and truly see to care. They laugh and joke with the kids and make it fun. Their competition teams are awesome, and they treat their recreational dance groups as if they have just as much value. Everyone there feels like they matter, and I haven't seen this at any other studio locally. They also do hop hop for boys, tumbling, and a special needs class that is completely free. I loved that they did that special needs class, and they do not boast that they do it - but when a mom of one of the special needs kids told me it was completely free for them, I was even more impressed. It speaks volumes of the kind of people they are. They even include them in the recital which I love! I HIGHLY recommend this studio. My daughter absolutely loves it and it's been a stress free and happy experience.
