All four of my children attended the school, each for 2 years. Not only did my children have a tremendous time at the school, I also learned. Their curriculum is such that it holds the attention of both the child and the adult helping in the classroom, and the field trips are great fun! To this day we retain friendships made during the preschool days -- it truly creates a family environment!

My daughter was enrolled in the Day School from 2003 to 2005 and went through the Summer Programs as well. We had such a wonderful experience. We always felt a sense of family with the Staff. They were so involved from day 1 and had my daughter's best interest at heart, always. I miss the school so much. I wish I could've taken it with me, when it was time for Kindergarten.
I cannot say enough in favor of the COOP and Day school. My two children, my husband and I found the staff to be warm, organized and patient. They showed true investment in our children and always went the extra mile. Our children were well-prepared for kindergarten and had a wonderful sense of themselves as they moved on. We absolutely loved the staff and miss them terribly!
Simply amazing preschool. My children have attended both the COOP and Day school sides, both are fabulous. My children were more than ready for kindergarten. The community is wonderful, lifelong friend were made! I can't wait for my youngest to attend.
Both my boys attended the Day School and the Summer program. We loved how both our boys were appreciated for who they were and were encouraged to learn and grow emotionally and academically. The School has a wonderful inclusive environment. We were sad to graduate, but felt that our boys were well prepared to attend kindergarten.
