I have sent all three kids to Positive Place Preschool and could not be happier. All the teachers and administrators are kind and caring. It has become like a family, we are very thankful of all they have done for our kids!

I have both my kids in this preschool, one since the infant room and we love it! Everyone that works there, the teachers, the administrative staff, directors, and assistants are all wonderful. It has a great community feel, and I love that we can continue to utilize this place for before/after care and summer camp as our kids get older. My kids have been learning so much and they have fun there!

We have had nothing but great experiences with Positive Place Preschool. We have been fortunate to have Miss Marelvy and Miss Charissa for the 2 years our son has been going there, and we cannot say enough good things about them both. The school itself is extremely well organized as well. We look forward to watching our son continue to blossom thanks to Positive Place!

I have brought my son to positive place preschool since he was 15 months old and we have loved it! He has learned so much in his time there and has been taken care of so well. The teachers treat each child as if they were their own. They are caring, loving and supportive of each child's individual needs. I can't recommend this school enough!
