We have had our son at Excel for almost a year. The dedication and commitment the owner Helen shows is really comforting as a parent. Additionally, Ms. Claudia Mendez is a gem & has done so many great things to foster community and learning with all the students. After some not-so-great experiences at other places, we are so happy with the experience our son has at this school.

If you're searching for the absolute pinnacle of preschool experiences, look no further! This isn't just a daycare or normal preschool, it's a wonderland of learning and growth designed to ignite even the most advanced three-year-old mind. The teachers here are nothing short of phenomenal. Their love and attentiveness are a warm embrace for every child. They possess an uncanny ability to recognize each child's unique needs and nurture them accordingly. My daughter, who is quite advanced for her age, has been challenged and supported. It's a beautiful thing to witness. The classrooms themselves are a testament to thoughtful design. Bright, airy spaces filled with stimulating activities create the perfect environment for exploration. Every corner seems to hold a discovery waiting to be made. The dedication to well-rounded development extends beyond academics. Daily outdoor time allows the children to connect with nature and expend boundless energy. One of the most delightful features is the app that keeps parents connected throughout the day. Adorable photos and regular updates provide a heartwarming glimpse into our daughter's world on a daily basis. The most rewarding aspect of this school is witnessing the friendships blossom between the children. Our daughter is thriving in this social environment, learning valuable lessons about collaboration and empathy. The kindness and dedication of the entire staff are truly exceptional. From the teachers to the administrators, everyone plays a vital role in fostering a nurturing and positive atmosphere. The variety of activities offered is mind-boggling, with options like language learning and yoga! Let's be honest, three-year-olds can have their moments. It brings immense peace of mind knowing that the teachers here are equipped with a toolbox of fun coping mechanisms. From calming activities to gentle relaxation techniques, they ensure every child feels safe, secure, and ready to learn. This preschool is an absolute gem. It's a place where little minds flourish, friendships bloom, and the joy of learning takes center stage. If you have a curious and bright child, look no further – this is the perfect place for them to take flight!

Seriously the best school for children pre kinder. This review is way overdue but I just want to say thank you so much to all the staff members. From their curriculum to their lunches, I felt at ease leaving my child there for few months now. The personalized attention and care my child receives makes us thankful we found a wonderful place for our child to grow. They have a great security system, check in process, that makes me very comfortable leaving mychild in their care. With absolutely no hesitation, we can highly recommend this educational institution. The school selects and hires the best available young people to supplement the wonderful career staff they have in place. The teachers are caring, supportive, and excel at communicating with the parents as well as the children.

Choosing a daycare for our child was one of the most important decisions we've made as parents, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll them at Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was evident that this wasn't just any daycare; it was a place where learning, exploration, and innovation thrive. One of the standout features of Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy is their commitment to STEM education. They understand the importance of fostering a love for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from an early age, and it's woven into every aspect of their curriculum. Through hands-on activities, experiments, and projects, our child is not just learning about STEM concepts but actively engaging with them in a meaningful way. Moreover, we are incredibly impressed by Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy's accreditation by Cognia. This prestigious accreditation is a testament to their unwavering dedication to excellence in education and continuous improvement. It provides us with the confidence and peace of mind that our child is receiving a high-quality education that meets rigorous standards. The teachers and staff at Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy are simply exceptional. They are not only highly qualified professionals but also caring and nurturing individuals who go above and beyond to ensure that each child feels supported and valued. Their enthusiasm for teaching and genuine love for the children are evident in every interaction, creating a warm and welcoming environment where our child thrives. We also appreciate Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy's emphasis on holistic development. In addition to STEM education, they provide opportunities for creative expression, physical activity, and social-emotional learning, laying the foundation for a well-rounded education and a lifetime of success. I wholeheartedly recommend Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy to any parent seeking an exceptional early childhood education experience. It's more than just a daycare; it's a place where curiosity is encouraged, talents are nurtured, and futures are shaped. Enrolling our child at Excel Preparatory Preschool Academy has been one of the best decisions we've made, and we are grateful for the positive impact it has had on our family. I would choose them again, again and again.
