The play-based curriculum, caring teachers, and all the friendly families made the transition from nanny to preschool seamless for us. The truly embody the sentiment, "Children blossom when they feel loved and secure." Our toddler has made so many friends, officially potty trained (thanks to the support of the teachers!), and her language and social skills have flourished. We're so grateful to have found this preschool!

I highly recommend this preschool. this is a very loving preschool, seen through the eyes of my 3yo boy, 1st and only preschool since 2yo. he hugs his teachers spontaneously quite often. this is a place where warmth, cheer, patience, empathy, meeting kids where they are at, are the mainstays. kindness, consideration for others, sharing, basic decency, is the undisputed rhythm underscoring daily activities. he's so happy that he'd bring various toys from home to play with the others at school, board games, puzzles. play based learning, montessori style, multitudes of enrichment toys indoors and outdoors, so much arts and crafts brought home i have no idea what to do with them all. he's learned to verbalize, feed himself, potty train, milestone after milestone, at Heffalump. They are my "village" while I'm at work. it's a small preschool so all kids receive a lot of individual attention. i did visit/tour/interview other places, and found that Heffalump best suited my preferences, celebrating all the holidays, teachers exuding warmth and care, non rigid/authoritarian styles, not over crowded so each child truly receives plenty of attention. I also like that parents prepare their own snacks/ lunch to pack. Please don't hesitate to visit them if you're considering preschools in the area!
