Families The PREP
We could not be happier with The PREP!...The building and classrooms are so safe and clean, which were of our top concerns. Not to mention, the uniforms are adorable and definitely an amazing perk to not have to think about what your child needs to wear to school! All the staff is incredible at The PREP - overly communicative and transparent, which is what mattered to us. Our daughter has learned so much from The PREP, from sign language, manners, potty training and overall development! All the teachers treat our daughter the best and give her love as if she is their own. We are very lucky to have found The PREP and so appreciate everything the staff does to make our daughter feel safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for The PREP and cannot wait for our second daughter to start!

We love The PREP! Brynne started PREP at 3 1/2 when we were brand new to the area. I was immediately impressed with the staff, activities, communication, and nutritional menus. PREP does a great job of balancing play and curriculum. Brynne attended until she started kindergarten in public school, and I immediately saw how well prepared she was for school because of The PREP. She will often say how much she misses it there when we drive by. Thank you, PREP!

My son has been attending The PREP since he was 6 months old. With two working parents, knowing that our son is in a safe environment where he is learning, and most of all THRIVING is incredible. We are so thankful to the staff and the teachers that are so kind and literally know everyone's name. Recently, my son's teachers were instrumental in his potty-training journey! We are BIG PREP supporters!

I have had both of my children at The PREP and have no complaints. The teachers are truly caring and the admin always is quick to wish you a good morning and are very responsive with questions and concerns. My children have always been happy when going to The PREP especially during the summer with their fun activities like ice cream day and splash pad day. They also coordinate lots of fun themed dress days and parties for the classrooms. This is a great place to trust your children with!
