She is often the first to be greeting families each day at the door and does SO much we could never even imagine behind the scenes too. Our child often comments about Debi and her involvement in their school day - I'm amazed by this. Additionally, all the teachers and staff here are extremely well qualified, understanding (they are all parents too), warm and truly enjoy being with kids. Our child entered preK for the first time in January and within weeks (if not days) had learned so much. She went from no school experience to confident on her way to learning all the expected preK skills and more! She was writing her name, making and identifying her letters, counting and identifying her numbers, and so much more. They made school so fun with tons of meaningful and themed art projects, creative play, experiments and lots more. They had opened an extra afternoon class and we got lucky to be able to join mid year. We were also lucky enough to have a fabulous teacher, Cynthia, with decades of experience... she made our child's first learning experience one that every parent dreams. Our expectations were completely surpassed. I love that they are so flexible with the number of days you attend as well. I wasn't ready to send my child more than 2 days to start (even though she was begging to go each day and couldn't stop talking about her amazing new school!) Within less than a day, the director Debi, every teacher, and all the staff knew my child's name and welcomed her with full hearts. Without a doubt and with great enthusiasm, would highly recommend this school to everyone.

My experience with Bridges and Beyond Preschool spans from 2016 all the way to 2023. The school is…read moreincredible and I would not have trusted anyone else to care for my children like they did. Debi and the teachers are so compassionate and treat every single child like their own. Their methods of teaching create an environment of fun while instilling a love for learning.

We LOVE St Raphaels Preschool!!…read more My daughter spent two years at the preschool and loved it and my son is currently enrolled for his first year and loves going to school. Since the first time we stepped into the school for a tour 4 years ago til now we have entered into a consistently kind, calm and welcoming atmosphere each day. The communication between teachers and parents has been excellent, allowing us to understand, practice and help our children with everything they are learning!! My goal was to find a preschool that would foster a lifelong love of learning for my kids and that's definitely what we have found at St. Raphaels.

Before moving to the area I began to research a preschool for my 3 year old to attend. He had…read moresuccessfully completed a year as a 2 year old in a small Catholic church school and I wanted the same type of atmosphere. I promised myself that my husband and I would look at several schools before making a final decision...we didn't. St. Raphael's ECC is part of the St. Raphael Catholic church community but you don't have to be Catholic, attend the churh or send your child to their private school to be part of the ECC family. I was very impressed with the tour and administrative personnel. The take security of your children while in their care very serious. And in this day and age it's a good thing. When you bring your child(ren) there is always an admin there to answer any questions and keep an eye on the coming and goings. My son is doing well and the school and I really like that fact that his time there is run like an actual school day, rather than just play all day. While I can't get him to tell me what he does each week, I can ask the teachers and also can see what they are focusing on each week via bulletin boards. I also personally love that he is getting religious teaching without being hit over the head with it.

Origins Montessori is the BEST. I have tried to write this review so many times but I just can't…read moresay enough good things about this place. I remember being skeptical in the beginning and I was so confused by how a school could have so many five star reviews. But I quickly learned that Origins deserves every star it has. We did so much research to find childcare. We called and toured dozens of schools. I can honestly say we probably called every school in the 20 mile radius and toured at least ten. We still ended up at a school that ultimately disappointed us. I cannot believe how hard it is to find good childcare. Our son was safe at his old school but that was it. He cried at every drop off, he was silent at school, and he was miserable when he got home. From day one, Origins was a completely different experience. We can tell our son genuinely loves going to school. I finally knew peace as a parent when we started at Origins Montessori. Our son has truly blossomed at this school. He talks about his friends and his teachers at home all the time. The teachers at Origins are exceptional. They are kind, they are caring, they are passionate and they are communicative. A parent's dream. They make school so fun with engaging activities while allowing the kids independence and exploration. Special shout out to our teacher, Ms. P. And the school director is a star. She is experienced, passionate and professional; you can tell right away. She runs Origins so well. Origins is reliable, affordable, and clean. We have not been sick one time because of daycare germs since switching schools (we used to have a 'daycare sick' every other week). I want to say so much more but nothing I say will be enough. Just trust me when I say, Origins Montessori will give you the best care you could ask for your child. *If you made it this far, I want to share a few particular anecdotes because I know how stressful it is leaving your child in others' care. 1. One time our son fell asleep on the drive to school. When this happened at his old daycare, they said I had to wake him up or take him home. I fully expected the same at Origins. But when we got there, his teacher got a bed ready for him and let him sleep in the back room until he was rested. I was amazed and so grateful as a parent. 2. One day, our son didn't want to eat what we packed him for lunch. Instead of letting him go hungry (as his other daycare did), the Origins team texted me and asked if they could give him something from their snack supply. 3. Our son's old daycare had cameras and yet, I still feel safer and more confident leaving him at Origins without cameras because his behavior and positive attitude about school tells me everything I need to know about his treatment at Origins. We could not have found a better place than Origins Montessori for our child.

Ms. Buddhini and the teachers were especially wonderful - their gentle nature and dedication made a huge difference in my son's transition.
