Parent Reviews
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Rhoades Preschool. My oldest daughter started at the school at 2.5 years old and graduated PreK. She is now in Kindergarten and was extremely prepared for Kinder and I credit Rhoades for giving her such a strong academic foundation. She still talks about her preK teacher Miss Roseann who is wonderful. My younger daughter is currently at Rhoades and is thriving. She says "school is my favorite thing to do" and adores her teacher Miss Danielle. Miss Danielle is so warm and loving and makes the kids feel special. She is always filling their day with fun, creative activities and makes learning fun. The kids are exposed to so much more than a standard curriculum - for example they have Spanish, Mandarin, French, music, science, and even cooking. The other families have been great and it is a really wonderful community that we are thankful to be apart of.
We love this school. I went to Rhoades as a kid and now my daughter gets to have the same amazing experience. We love the quality of people that Rhoades hires and our daughter loves them too!
via YelpWe moved our child here from public school and have been so happy. We loved the community and staff at our old school but there was no faster paced or gifted track and my kids were not challenged. Rhoades has leveling so that kids are placed in a group that is pushing them. My kiddo is so much more engaged now that the work is interesting to him. The curriculum and teachers are awesome and class sizes are small. It's a nice community of people who value education.
As the director of an academically based preschool in the area, I can tell you that this program is top notch. With the public school ratios being at an all-time high, I am frequently asked by enrolled parents where they should send their child to Elementary School and my answer is always Rhoades. The education your children will receive here will exceed your expectations and the administration is wonderful. If you are looking for a great private school in North County that is not religiously affiliated, you have found the best option.
