My two girls both went here from age 2 to 5. They had a wonderful time and made great friends. The emphasis on play is spectacular and they got a tremendous number of great experiences. The way the parents are involved also taught me ways I could become a better father. I highly, highly recommend Family Preschool.

We have had a great experience with both our kids at Family Preschool. The teachers are great and there is a wonderful sense of community. The teachers really take the time to teach the kids tools for communicating. They excel at providing the social/emotional skills that will allow kids to thrive as they get older. The co-op model has allowed us to really be involved and form great friendships.

My children attended Family Preschool (FPS) for two years. It is such an amazing school. The teachers are great and the playground is fantastic. The co-operative model gave me a chance to spend some time with my children in the school environment. I was able to watch them interact with the other children and teachers, participate in the school activities and grow throughout the years. The 3+ year-old class uses a project based learning approach which means there are large culminations several times a year where all of the families attend and the childrens work & experiences are put on display. It was great to have my child walking me around the school and showing me everything he accomplished. It is also nice that the school model ensures that all of the parents are invested in the schools success.  Highly recommend this school to anyone who has the availability and interest to participate in a co-op based school.

Were just finishing up our first year at FPS and have loved every moment! We adore the teachers at this school and have really enjoyed getting to know the families. Not only is our daughter learning a lot at FPS, but so are we!

Our son attended Family Preschool for four wonderful years. A true love of learning and enthusiasm was carefully and lovingly developed by the teachers there. The play and projected based approach allowed for him to think creatively and critically in a collaborative setting. The teachers and director are experienced, committed, passionate and truly love the children as their own. The transparency and parent involvement was a great experience as a first time mom; the teachers modeled how to truly respect children and communicate effectively. I found support and fellowship with many of the other parents with friendships that have extended beyond the preschool years. I always recommend the school to parents of young children - theres no better place!

We loved our experience with Family Preschool! Its such a warm, nurturing environment that helped our daughter thrive. The teachers are fantastic, and they are supportive of both parents and students, helping to share strategies for success. They want to see children grow both academically and emotionally, and they help kids and parents find ways to make that happen. Parents get a chance to be personally involved in the growth of the school and of their childrens education. As someone who is non-religious, I also really appreciated having a school that offered a quality and totally secular education for my daughter.

We LOVE Family Preschool! I can think of no better place for our three children to attend preschool. The teachers are wonderful. They truly understand how to talk with children and bring out the best in them. Being a cooperative preschool, the Family Preschool community has become a second family for us. The community potlucks, impromptu playdates, parent workshops and parent nights out are full of fun and laughter. The friendships my family have developed over the last four years will last us a lifetime. I look forward to the next four years at Family Preschool as my youngest grows. Family Preschool truly provides a supportive and encouraging environment for the whole family.

Our youngest daughter attended Family Preschool for three years and my only regret is that we didnt know about FPS earlier so that our two older girls could have gone there, too. The FPS teachers are truly outstanding, the community of kids and parents is warm and inclusive, and I love that its a co-op where parent participation is welcomed. (My daughter always loved my helping parent days, and I did, too.) Our daughter was completely fearless and well-prepared by the time we had to send her to kindergarten, and weve ended up with a group of friends that we wouldnt have made otherwise. I continue to recommend Family Preschool enthusiastically whenever I hear that someone is looking around for a great preschool!

My family was a part of Family Preschool for 6 years. Not only was it an education for my children but for me as a parent as well. I learned so much through the nurturing community -- both parents and teachers. It truly became a second family. My oldest child is now in 3rd grade and not only remembers her experiences at FPS but still maintains close friendships with classmates from when she was 2. This is a truly special and magical school.

I have sent two children to Family Preschool and have had the pleasure of being part of this wonderful community for the past 6 years. The teachers, curriculum and quality of education (social and academic) at this school are stellar. The learning experience is play based which allows children to learn through doing rather than hearing about in a way they thoroughly enjoy. While the families change somewhat every year I have always found the community to be friendly and welcoming. Family Preschool has provided a social network for both my children and me, allowing us to form lasting memories and friendships that have extended well beyond preschool years.

The teachers are great and the learning experience for our child was excellent. We found it to be an insular and somewhat judgmental group of people. Other parents will not shy away from commenting on your politics, your discipline practices, the car you drive, what you feed your child, etc. to a degree that may become tiresome.
