We have had a great experience at Thunderbird with both of our kids! The teachers are kind and really seem to know and care about the kids. My children were well prepared for Kindergarten and loved their first school experiences at Thunderbird!

We were really nervous when our son started Preschool because of how much he hated daycare. To our surprise, he absolutely loves Thunderbird. The teachers are amazing and show so much care for our son. Every time we pick him, they mention something he did that day or what he liked. They also do a great job letting us know what he needs to work on. They seem to do a really good job paying attention to each child. Our son is always smiling when we drop him off and pick him. Its nice to know that because of the teachers at Thunderbird, our son will have it much easier starting Kindergarten. I highly recommend Thunderbird and hope to enroll our youngest when its time

Both of my children attended Thunderbird. As a Teacher, I knew exactly what I was looking for in a preschool. After staying home with my kids, I knew the main thing I was looking for was a place I felt my kiddos would be safe with kind individuals looking after them while getting all the learning tools they would need as early learners. I found all that the minute we walked into Thunderbird! We had 3 other tours to take at other preschools and we canceled them knowing this was the place for us! Looking back at our time at Thunderbird, all I can do is smile :)

It is a great school. The teachers are extremely friendly and caring. I had my older son go to Thunderbird and he came out as a completely confident child ready for kindergarten. There was no second thought when it was time for my second one. He too completely loves it. The teachers are amazing at evaluating each child and then working with them accordingly. The projects they do in school are also very stimulating for the kids. They appeal to all their senses.

Our familys experience with Thunderbird Preschool has been completely positive. Mrs. Koch and all the teachers truly care about the kids and really enjoy what they are doing. They do a great job of working with the class as a whole, as well as addressing students individual needs. They are very good at communicating with the parents, and making school a fun experience for the whole family. Our daughter has learned so much at Thunderbird. We know she will be well-prepared for Kindergarten, because of the positive learning experience she has had at Thunderbird.

I was very nervous to send my son way to preschool for the first time. When my family and I walked into Thunderbird Preschool we knew it was a good place for him to attend. You could tell right away that it was caring environment. My son transitioned well and we are so happy.

I have 2 daughters that went to Thunderbird Preschool back to back for 4 years. I have nothing but nice things to say about Thunderbird. Weve had all positive experiences with all the teachers and administrators. Everyone took the time to get to know our family, and made my daughters feel safe and comfortable. I would recommend Thunderbird Preschool to anyone and everyone. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

I love the close knit feel of the school experience at Thunderbird. It feels good leaving my children at a place they love so much and are excited to go to. I am confident that my children are off to the very best start and are more prepared for their next school experience having attended this fantastic preschool!

We put our 3 children in every program available to us at Thunderbird, from Super Tots for 2 year olds all the way up to Super 5s for our 2 children who missed kindergarten age cut off. This is a school full of kindness, love and patience. Our children developed a love of learning and a deep respect and love for their teachers as well. We could not have asked for a better place for our children to get ready to successfully meet the challenges of elementary school.

I appreciate the feedback that I receive when I pick up my children, even if its as simple as they had a great morning. I love that I can volunteer to help in the classroom and that I had my own special morning where I was able to participate in the classroom. I know that my children are treated with love and respect, even when they need corrections in behavior. My children love it at Thunderbird and I know they are good hands.

My daughter has been going to Thunderbird for 3 years - Junior, Senior and now Super 5s. She loves it, has learned so much and her confidence has grown tremendously. The teachers are outstanding. I am going to miss seeing their smiling faces everyday when my daughter heads to kindergarten.

The teachers here are top notch and really amazing at what they do. My daughters are so sad that they are graduating soon, and honestly like going to school every day. I am so happy that I have found somewhere that my children can enjoy learning.

From day one I could tell that all of the teachers and staff at Thunderbird genuinely care about my children. This has been my first time dealing with school and someone outside of the family taking care of my children and I never once have looked back and wanted to change anything! If only everyones first schooling experience could be this positive! I only wish we could stay forever! The teachers are top rate and amazing at what they do! My Super 5 is so sad to leave his teachers at Thunderbird and my Junior doesnt want the school year to end! I am so happy I have one more to bring through after them! Mrs. Koch is so flexible and will do whatever it takes to make their schedule work for you. I rave about the experience we have had at Thunderbird to all moms I know who are looking for a preschool in the area. To sum all of this up, we LOVE Thunderbird!!

Thunderbird is a exceptional school. They offer a outstanding learning and social experience for every child. Thunderbird is the best place to start your childs exposure to the educational system. No other pre-school could possibly be better. I would always choose the Thunderbird staff and especially the Director, Betty Koch

I have nothing but great things to say about Thunderbird. Both my children attend/have attended there and I cant wait for my youngest son to be able to attend there too. Like most parents, I was very nervous about trusting someone I did not know to teach my children but I can honestly say I trust every teacher at Thunderbird wholeheartedly. Ive never once doubted their intentions or sincerity. The activities and field trips are always very organized and informative. My son who attends there now wakes up everyday asking if he can go to school. I wouldnt ever consider sending my kids anywhere else.

The teachers really care about what they do. Their passion and energy is evident in how they teach their students and how much the students take away from their classes. They are fantastic at addressing individual needs of children if a little one needs a little extra attention in some facets.
