We get extensive weekly recaps and photos sent, so we can see and hear about the experiences our child has had and what they've been learning about. The level of care and attention given to the development, safety, and health of our child has given us an extreme sense of comfort. I would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking to have their child attend!

Our children both came (our son, now in 1st grade) and currently our daughter, come home happy, excited to share what they have done that day and what they have learned.

They kids get to participate in structured and unstructured play, indoor & outdoor play and drive thier own independence and relationships. Highly recommend this wonderful neighborhood preschool!

Madeline runs such an amazing program and we are so blessed to have her teaching our son. We…read morestarted at Wildflower in April after having a truly awful experience at another preschool where I felt like my kid was not loved or treated with respect and compassion. Madeline is such an amazing teacher and I can't imagine anyone better suited to teaching this age group than her. She's the epitome of a fun, calm, silly, and compassionate teacher who loves the kids in her care fiercely and helps them explore and blossom in her care. My son has his confidence back and actually wants to go to school every day. At our prior school he complained about going every day and came home so defeated. He is truly thriving with Madeline and her program and we feel so lucky to be here. Aside from how amazing Madeline is as a teacher, the outdoor area is amazing, the inside is cozy, and the program is a perfect balance of structure and individual play. My son comes home singing new songs and talking about fun games they played every day. And the sense of community is so amazing and something I didn't know I was missing. I can't recommend Madeline enough!

Our son has been attending Wildflower Outdoor Learning Center for the past 7 months, and the…read moretransformation we've seen in him has been wonderful. His social and physical skills have really blossomed. This school is truly a hidden gem--a nurturing, inspiring environment where children are encouraged to grow, explore, and to be themselves. From day one, we were welcomed into the Wildflower community with warmth and open arms. The entire philosophy of the school, rooted in nature-based learning aligned with what we were looking for. It's been amazing to watch our son thrive in an environment where curiosity is celebrated, and the outdoors is the main classroom. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Teacher Madeline, Teacher Meg and Teacher Raina. Madeline is a remarkable educator--kind, patient, and deeply passionate about what she does. Her ability to connect with each child and support them on their individual journey is a gift. Our son absolutely adores all the teachers, and we can see the confidence, independence, and joy in learning that they have helped foster in him. We feel so grateful to have found this incredible space for our son to learn and grow!

Today was our first day at a new school. I took a long sigh of relief, I had not realized was…read morebadly over due. We left Southwest Parent-Child Collective this last year. Our feelings, mixed at best. We had many hopes and a great introduction to the school via visits both at the school with fellow parent's, and with our child's teacher. We were excited about the coop's nurturing environment, and cohesive community. While we believe our child's teacher was everything we could hope for and more, the parent environment was not okay. Not at all. In the coop, everyone has a role/job. I was nervous but excited about my role within the school it's community. The job, and the school ended up being a place, where I did not feel comfortable. The key role authority the "Co-Chair" never liked my ideas. The energy i put into ideas, and planning, was shot down, by this woman in charge. She seemed to go out of her way to be "helpful" in doing this. We had signed up for a "coop". Instead we got one person making rules, with no regard for others. The new $5 a minute punitive late fee - BAD news, but the way in which this "Co-Chair" put down another admirable member, behind her back to me, that was it. We were sad to leave the good of the school behind. The environment had become for us, the opposite of what was pitched to us. It seemed one bad apple, but then no one, including the other board members or teachers did anything to change the situation. Maybe we had the wrong idea of the school. I would not recommend Southwest Parent-Child Collective.

We have been at Kidspace for two yes. I've been holding off on writing a review because there are…read moreno words I could write to accurately describe the level of care, compassion, thoughtfulness, curiosity, and love for learning that exudes every inch of this school. My kid asks to go to school almost every day. My mind is at ease at drop off off, and when I pick her up, she is usually beaming about what they did in school that day. As a bonus, she has made several great friends. In my personal experience in observing many preschools and interacting with their children and staff as part of my job, many are just meeting the basic needs. Yes, the children are usually safe. But are they engaged? Educated thoughtfully? Do they feel like part of the school family? Do YOU? At Kidspace they are and you will! Kidspace is magical and a revelation. ALL children should have the opportunity to attend a preschool THIS GOOD! The owner is also actively exploring bringing back the Kindergarten program starting in the 2023-2024 school year! Check them out!

Both of my children attended Kidspace starting at 3 years old and it really felt like home to us until they moved to Kindergarten. They got a great start to their learning life and with this solid foundation have become vibrant inquisitive learners who enjoy school, reading and being in Nature. My kids loved the Nature School component of Kidspace too! Nothing beats being in the woods & climbing trees as part of their play based curriculum.

Nadine was very understanding and communicative during the first weeks as our kiddo adjusted to being away from home for the first time, and now he loves going and playing with his friends. I love that the philosophy is play-based rather than overly structured at this young age, and yet our kid still comes home with lots to share about what he learned from songs and activities, including surprising us with counting in French. So many fun craft projects come home with him, and the teachers add new toys based on the kids' interests. They encourage kindness and cooperation in play, which is evident when my kid has a playdate and I hardly have to intervene, because he and his friends already know how to get along beautifully. All good things to say!

The teachers and staff are so caring and the kids are truly taught how fun it can be to learn through singing, activities, experiments, art, etc. There is a strong focus on social-emotional learning as well to help the kids thrive. Lots of kids from very diverse backgrounds come to The Gan because it's such an exceptional place. Strong sense of community here with all the families getting to know each other. The school is very secure and safe too so we never had any concerns there.

Like the viewer below me, I'm honestly surprised at the reviews. Our son has been going here for…read moretwo years and overall it's been very satisfactory. We've loved just about every teacher / classroom our son has moved into and if we were so so on the teacher it didn't matter much because our son is always so happy to go and see them. There's definitely some teachers who go above and beyond to do their job and others are still great. There's no one that looks like they are slacking off and neglecting kids needs. I feel like my son is on track mentally and physically with any other kids his age. He always comes home and says things that are intelligent and hilarious. The only thing is that I wish the outdoor area wasn't mostly covered in concrete, I would love to see turf installed throughout the whole play area. Overall I recommend this school to anyone who's asked me about where to take their kids in town.
