We love Westminster Nursery School. I was looking for a program that was very loving and nurturing…read more Mrs. Bocian is such an amazing teacher. My son loves her and her assistant Mrs. Coler. He is always coming home with fun artwork and projects. I love that they are very fun centered but also manage to teach the kids the essentials. M is always telling me all about their fun activities. He also stays for lunch class with Mrs. Marsh, and although he doesn't love eating lunch at school, he adores his Lunch Teacher and her helper. They do such fun activities with the kids and it really shows the love and care they have for our kids. I would definitely recommend this school. It's very diverse and super inclusive.

I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this program is. My daughter is in the 3's class and I was…read moreextremely nervous about how she would do in Pre-K as a COVID child. Everyday we drop her off and she does not look back. She loves telling us about her friends, the day she had, and all of the amazing staff at Westminster. The teachers are highly attentive and never afraid to contact you. My daughter had dealt with some minor health issues this year and when ever she was out the teachers always reached out through phone or email to check how she was doing! I am so grateful to have found Westminster Nursery School!

The owners, who are also the teachers, are deeply involved and genuinely care about each child and family. They take the time to understand and support every student as an individual. Our son, who had trouble fitting in at another school, has completely transformed--he now looks forward to going every day. We've been so impressed that we also enrolled our daughter, and she's thriving just as much. Parents also form a wonderful, tight-knit community with the teachers, creating a true sense of partnership and support.

The caregivers in the infant rooms have been amazing my son loves them! They have really gotten to know our son and have done an amazing job caring for him. I love that they update you all day on the app so you can see their schedule and how they're progressing. They do a great job sticking to our schedule. If there's ever an issue, they call right away and let you know! Management has also changed in the past year (2 people had turned over in the time we started) and the past few months have been great. I love the management in there now! They also do a great job with different activities and arts and crafts at the school. They've done tons of different theme weeks, decorations, quarterly fun fairs and more interactive elements for the kids which has been cute! The only improvements I'd like to see is more so in the afternoon pick up time. I've seen a lot of the care givers switching rooms at pick up time (so I may not recognize the teacher in there) and sometimes the kids to teacher ratio is off at the end of the day.

I'd call it The Social Experiment and certainly NOT the Learning Experience. I will also say that…read morethey might be much better as a nursery school, as our experience was only as a preschool. I'll start with what is good about this place (not much). The lead teachers genuinely care about the children and put a lot into their care. The staff also take the time to know the kids' names. I only wish the management and staff put a fraction of that effort into their relations with the parents. They do not. If you ask questions or raise any issues, the management is immediately defensive, dismissive, and do not take the time to consider their clients' concerns. Not one bit! Are the parents not the customers? Don't you believe you should invest in building trust and transparency with parents? Not close to the customer comes first. Not by a long shot. Our child (age 3) had an incident where she hit her head. My wife was told by the manager that our daughter is clumsy, and she has seen her being clumsy. She is 3! Aren't they called toddlers? When she hit her head, a report was filed. At pick up, I was told to "just sign the report" as the person at the desk was on the phone. When in the classroom, I inquired about what happened and was told "we have no idea. It was with the morning teacher. You can just ask her tomorrow". What? The afternoon was like a revolving door with different junior staff covering, as the lead teacher left before 3 PM. They never greeted you when you came to pick-up. New faces never introduced themselves as "my name is and I'm covering for..." Never! They would say "Annie, your dad is here" and then return to what they were doing. This included either cleaning the room during school hours or uploading photos to their App on an iPad, not teaching or working with the kids. When our daughter started, they had no nametag for her place at the table. This went on for almost a month before we brought it up and they dismissively tried to tell us that they were "ruined" and required new ones. She never had one. More excuses! Then, they made one and her name was MISSPELLED! They are "teaching" her spelling, but they can't spell her first name. It was never fixed. The curriculum is entirely vague and we never received learning packets, progress reports, or any written updates on learning. If you do want your kid to sit in front of a screen and learn solely from a cartoon elephant, this is an expensive place where you can do just that. Go ahead, they are more than happy to take your money! In fact, that was their primary focus. Communication with parents is abysmal! Our daughter's lead teacher, the single element of consistency in this whole place, decided to leave and nothing was communicated to the parents. No phone call. No email. No communication of "since we are losing Ms. X, Ms. Y will be filling in for the rest of summer". ZERO! Complete reliance on technology. Zero professional communication skills. Honesty and trust are paramount with this dynamic. We got neither!

The class is so fun and the songs so catchy. Each semester includes a new CD with songs from class and we listen to them at home all the time. I REALLY appreciate that they aren't your typical cliche kid songs, they are cool enough that I find myself humming them all the time. It has been wonderful to watch him gain love and appreciation for music and instruments. He went through a drumming phase and requested a guitar for his 3rd birthday. It was his only birthday request and is so proud of it. He sits us down for concerts and it's just the sweetest! I really can't thank Michael and his team enough.

My daughter started at Kiddie Academy of Colonia when she was only 5 1/2 months old, and I was so nervous about leaving her. From the very beginning, though, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and reassured me that she was in great hands. The professionalism of the entire team is outstanding. The atmosphere is warm, caring, and positive, and the building is always spotless, clean, and very secure. Knowing that my daughter is safe every day gives me so much peace of mind. The biggest confirmation that I made the right choice is seeing the smile on my daughter's face every morning when we arrive. Her eyes light up when she sees her teachers, and that means everything to me. Over the past month and a half, I've watched her grow so much. Her skills have developed tremendously, and it's clear that she's learning, thriving, and being genuinely cared for. I am so grateful for everyone at Kiddie Academy of Colonia. Thank you for creating such a loving, safe, and nurturing environment for my daughter. I couldn't have asked for a better place for her to begin her learning journey!

They are short staffed, teachers leave and quit because they don't have the support from their manager who keep accepting kids without being proper staffed. Teachers and manager have lack on knowledge on education or how to handle common issues in babies, they rather implement unrealistic "programs" setting them for failure and kick them out. The teachers don't promote creativity, don't read books on a regular basis, don't do activities (they started to do it only by parent's request for a few weeks, and went back to just sitting there without even interacting with babies). Teachers were caught on their cellphones numerous times, even though there are cameras. They only cover the basics: feeding, and changing diapers. Kids get hurt and injured because teachers are unable to manage toddlers.. Not the owner or the manager have any degree in education.
