Masters Academy (formerly Downs Preschool)

I am incredibly happy with my son's progress at school! He's not only doing amazing academically, but he's also really thriving socially and emotionally. It's clear you've created such a warm and supportive atmosphere. Every teacher he's had has been fantastic – they're all so dedicated and have a wonderful way of connecting with the kids. It's really inspired him to love learning! I especially appreciate the open communication – it's been so helpful for me to stay involved in his learning.

My daughter had a wonderful time attending Pre-K at Downs Preschool and is now enjoying their summer camp as well. Every day, she comes home happy and excited to share what she’s learned and experienced. The activities are fun, creative, and educational — it’s clear that a lot of thought goes into making each day meaningful for the children. The teachers are fantastic — kind, attentive, and full of positive energy. They truly care about each child and make the classroom feel like a second home. We feel so lucky to have such a dedicated team helping our daughter grow and thrive. Ms. Erica, the principal, is an incredibly warm, loving, and passionate leader. She’s always approachable and deeply committed to creating the best possible environment for the kids. We’re truly grateful to have such a wonderful and trustworthy place in our community!

Downs was hands down the best preschool for my son! The staff there truly love and care for the children they teach everyday! Mrs Ricki Walls is my favorite and we love her and keep up with her 13yrs later!!!!!

My son never wanted to leave...LOL Wanted to know why he couldn't go in the summer. This speaks volumes!! We LOVED the school, LOVED the teachers, LOVED the after-school and student helpers. I NEVER once was concerned about the education and love my son was receiving. He still has fond memories and talks about Downs often...and he's a 9th grader now!!

I can’t say enough good things about this school! I have a Pre-K child there and the amount of information she has learned is just amazing. She loves to go to school and asks constantly- even on weekends- if it’s a school day. The teachers make learning fun and interactive. The lessons are well rounded in considering the entire child from an academic, emotional, and social perspective. They harbor a safe and friendly environment with transparent communication. A true gem of a PreK program with the highest quality teachers and care.
