Author: Jacqueline Sahm Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/4/2022, 3:53:37 AM Review: Andes is truly a special place. We have been so happy with the quality of care and education for our two children ages 2 and 4 who have been attending this school for over a year now. Our kids always march happily and confidently into school and come out again with smiles on their faces. The facility is beautiful and clean, the outdoor play area is wonderfully shady and very spacious, the teachers are so loving and patient, and they serve fresh, hot lunch every day made with real wholesome foods (not processed "kid" food - this is super important to me!) and the children happily eat it. I love that they are both learning a second language and are attending a school that clearly values and nurtures diversity. The director, Mrs. Mercedes, is just wonderful. You can tell they treat the children with respect and care for them like they would their own family. The curriculum seems very broad, with the kids learning everything from table manners, to music & art, to sensory play (in addition to the standard reading, writing, numbers, etc.). The staff put so much time and effort into special events and celebrations like Halloween parades, Christmas concerts, Mother's & Father's Day parties, Graduation, etc. We toured many daycares that were closer to our home and therefore more convenient, but we are so happy with our choice to send our kids to school at Andes. It brings such peace of mind to working parents to know their kids are safe, loved, and nurtured each day.

Andes Smart is an excellent daycare. The teachers and staff are awesome. They involve the family and community with their weekly activities such as Friday breakfast, Thursday’s fine dining, and so much more. Such an outstanding pre school/vpk experience for primary age.
What a beautiful Pre-K graduation ceremony!! My Grandson is always so happy and talks about school how much fun he has had!!
We really enjoy this place. We were looking forever for our 3 year old after several places just did not work for him. They have great intentions here and as much as we did not want to force our son into letting go of his “safe” bear he sleeps with they helped with the transition. We love that this place has cameras that we can see our son all day and that they constantly post pictures and quickly reply. We are extremely happy with our choice to put our son at Andes Academy and even though we are not Spanish he definitely gets to experience the bilingual environment and we love that! They are so friendly and clean here which is absolutely an added bonus.
Great school. My son gets excited about going everyday. Great staff. The school app gives updates all day everyday and uploads great pictures daily also.
We love Andes Smart, it's so clean and we'll maintained, my son enjoys going daily. Management and teachers are so nice and caring. Would like to mention special thanks to Ms.Miriam and Ms.Yleidy my kiddo loves them so much.
Love Andes Smart Academy. The owner and staff there are great. My daughter now loves going to daycare everyday. The school is clean and provide kids with plenty of activities and wholesome foods. Nothing but great things to say about this school :)
Our son has been going to Andes Smart Academy for over a year now and he has been thriving and LOVING his teachers. Ms. Miriam and her staff are family to us and have created a loving and safe environment for children to blossom both academically and emotionally. Our family strongly recommend Andes Smart Academy to any family looking for a for child care option or a preschool that is much more than just that!
