Parent Reviews
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!
Words cannot express the peace we have felt during the time our children have attended the Positive Place Preschool. Our first baby started the school during the pandemic. Mixed with great concern and down right fear, we were put at ease at the process and prcedures executed by the staff at that time. Post-covid, we are still very pleased with the experiences both our 4-year-old and 17-month old have had at the school. The teachers greatly care for the students from Ms. Sara with the infants to Ms. Mare with the 3/4 year olds, it is very evident that the staff care immensely about the students AND care about their positive working relationships with the family as well. I love that I can come to the school and have transparent/warm/caring conversations with Ms. Sara/Ms. Marlissa/Ms. Yannaris or Ms. Mare/Ms. Charissa about the progress/needs of my daughters within their respective classrooms. These teachers are amazing and we truly love them. Additionaly, when I reach out to the staff or administration, they are transparents, communicative and empathetic. This is what I truly value and appreciate about the Positive Place Preschool. I feel like this is a home away from home. Honestly, I am nervous about my kids aging out of the program because of how supportive the community is, and afraid we may not feel that same thing at the next school (kindergarten/1st grade). If you can, schedule a tour - visit the space - speak with the staff. You will not regret it!
Hello my name is kaysia henry my daughter attend the positive place preschool. The staff at positive place preschool are a blessing from above. I searched the area for a daycare/preschool for my daughter and positive place preschool was one of my best options. They provide a warm, clean ,educational and friendly learning environment. As a mother I don't trust everyone with my children but positive place preschool has earned my trust.. all the staff are beyond amazing thank you'll for taking care of my princess 👏🏾 🤩 Kaysia henry
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 am so glad I was recommended this place when I was looking for daycares for my child!! It is so affordable and the teachers are all so amazing! The facility is clean and secure. They care about your child and want them to succeed!! For my other child years ago I went to another daycare nearby which was nice but a LOT of money and I feel that my child didn’t learn as much as I wished. A Positive Place surpassed my expectations in the first few months! Positive Place is teaching my daughter so much I am amazed when she comes home after school every day! The infants up until 2 are in the smaller building with their open little gated park to play in when it’s nice. It’s locked and you have to be buzzed in. Mrs Marevly is amazing teacher who loves her kids and we’re so glad we have her in the big kids class in the new building!! So is Miss Charissa - She loves her students and I always feel that she is there for my child’s ups and downs! I love getting videos/pictures of them leaning and having fun!
I cannot say enough great things about the Positive Place Preschool. My daughter is 2 and has been going here since she was 6 months old. Leaving your child in the hands of someone else is extremely emotional- the staff was beyond kind and understanding with me. They take such amazing care of my little girl and she loves going there. It is such a relief knowing that my child is safe and well taken care of. In addition to this, my son who is now in first grade also attended Positive Place from the ages of 2-5. I will always (and have) recommend Positive Place to anyone looking for childcare.
My daughter has been going to Positive Place for two years now and we couldn’t be happier. She’s been well cared for and has learned so much. We love the staff! They are so kind and loving. We will continue to send her until she’s old enough to go to school and our younger daughter who was just born will start there in the fall. We trust them immensely and are so glad we chose them for our girls to go to.
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!
