The school has prepared him with all the tools for the next milestone...

My grandson has been going to this school since he was 2. One thing about this school that sets it apart is that the kids are not stuck in their classrooms all day. As a 4 year old he is ready to go to kindergarten. The school has prepared him with all the tools for the next milestone. The teachers are great and they really take care of my grandson like their own. If you are looking for a preschool, take a tour and see for yourself.

My son doesn't even want to graduate and leave...

My son has been with The Early Years since he was 2, and I am glad we decided to enroll him here. Compared to other schools, they have different rooms, and the kids are not stuck in their classrooms all day. Here, their setup is similar to kindergarten. My son doesn't even want to graduate and leave. The teachers are great and have been in the school for a long time.

The teachers are so incredibly nice and have been with the school for a long time...

My oldest child started here when he was 2 and is now 5. He loves this school and has learned so much, and I know he's fully ready for kindergarten. He's learned ABCs, numbers, counting, planets, and the significance of national holidays.Tuition includes a snack and lunch at a very affordable price. The teachers are so incredibly nice and have been with the school for a long time. I can't say enough great things.

The school has done wonders for him academically and socially...

I love this school. I enrolled my son when he was two years old. Now he is 4. I can't believe the things he can do. He can write his name, write the whole alphabet, write numbers, do addition, and read. With the help of the school, he is fully potty trained. The school has done wonders for him academically and socially. The teachers are great. They provide daily reports to tell you how your kid did that day. Lunch is also provided every day.

Healthy lunch and snacks are provided, too...

The Early Years is a gem!! It's educational-based, with tons of playtime. The kids change rooms throughout the day, so they are not stuck in the same room all day, which I really like. They have a garden, an outdoor playground, and an indoor playground, which is great for rainy days. Healthy lunch and snacks are provided, too. The staff is amazing—they truly care about the children and their development. Our son is thriving and enjoys going to "school" every day.

My son has developed a lot since attending last year and looks forward to going each day...

It's a great place for children. Lunch and snacks are included for low, affordable prices. The staff is friendly and gives daily reports on your child's day. The daycare itself is safe and secure. There are multiple rooms for children to learn and a large indoor playground. My son has developed a lot since attending last year and looks forward to going each day!

I feel very comfortable and confident that he is taken care of...

My son has been attending Early Years since August 2016. The staff seems to truly care about the kids and their well-being. The facility is very clean and organized. I like that the classes are separated according to age and that throughout the day, they are rotating activities. My son LOVES it. I drop him off, and he's like, "BYE MOMMY!" Hahahaha. I feel very comfortable and confident that he is taken care of.

I visited several schools and instantly knew this was the school for my little ones...

This is the best preschool ever! This school is just the right size, with about 70 students, and their teaching style is warm and loving. This was exactly what I was looking for, and they believe in mixed classes which was great for my kids to interact with bigger and smaller kids. They rotate from room to room throughout the day, each teacher gets to know every student, and the kids spend focused time on activities.
- Suzi T.

They provide nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day...

Hands down the best preschool out there!!! The staff and teachers are amazing, and the program is organized in a way that allows the children to rotate through different themed rooms. My twins have learned so much already. They keep the parents informed by providing daily sheets. They provide nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day. I can go on and on, but I am truly lucky to have found such a great preschool!!

Early Years jump-started his education and social skills...

My son went here for 2 years and it was a great experience. The staff is attentive and professional. My son learned a lot there, such that when we started kindergarten this year, he was ahead of his pack or, at the very least, comfortable and confident in everything he was expected to do in class. Early Years jump-started his education and social skills, and we have zero regrets about picking this preschool over others. Best regards to the whole staff.

They have really helped my children build their self-confidence...

This school continuously amazes me with the different kinds of activities that the children get to participate in. They have special events for all the major celebrations for different cultures. Even kids who are not enrolled for that day are invited to attend. They also send home daily reports to inform you about your child's day, which I think is awesome. All the teachers are extremely nice and experienced. They have really helped my children build their self-confidence.
