Village Pre-School

My wife found this little preschool about a week-​and-​a-​half before their school year started. Now exactly how and where she found it I’m not sure, but I’m sure glad she did. This tiny, private, church-​sponsored preschool is nothing like what you might expect. We sent our two oldest here, and we plan on sending our two youngest as well.
From the outside, it has the appearance of a 19^th century one-​room school house. But of course that’s now what it is on the inside. There is a large activity room when you first enter (the Big Room), but the first floor also has an administrative office as well as two classrooms. The basement has been converted and has a storage area and two additional classrooms as well. And outside behind the school is a nice sized playground area that’s perfect for kids of that age.
The staff here is amazing. All of the teachers are certified, so they’re trained and know what they’re doing. They keep up to date on the latest trends and research that takes place in regards to preschool education methods, practices, and philosophies. And they’re also just wonderful with the kids. I’ve heard stories where parents weren’t all that pleased with a church-​affiliated preschool because the teachers were basically church members either volunteering or helping out. Thankfully this was not the case for us. The education here is first rate and top quality.
There are three different choices in regards to class time. Full week (five days), three days, or two days. And of course they’re all half days so it’s either a morning or afternoon session. There is no all day preschool. There are numerous activities that take place throughout the year that parents can come and enjoy, and there are a number of opportunities where parents can volunteer to help chaperone small little trips that classes take.
When our two oldest started kindergarten, their teachers told my wife and I that they were so far ahead of the other students in their respective classes. And as smart as I know my kids to be, I also know that their time at the Village Preschool was a direct result of this as well. It’s a wonderful place to send you kids, and if you’re looking, I say look no more.
Mahalo, and enjoy.
