Author: Patricia Pedrezzetti Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/31/2024, 12:59:09 PM Review: 2023-2024 Another year at Rainforest and we couldn't be happier that our 2-year-old daughter is part of the Reb Ibis group. From the moment she arrives, the teachers welcome her with a smile and a hug. We have noticed great progress during this year, both academically and socially. I feel that it is our "safe place" because, when we are traveling for work, we know everything that happens in time and through various channels (phone, app), also they share photos of their day which makes us feel closer. I’m so happy to have found Rainforest back 2022 and I can’t wait to see how our daughter continue develops with them!! 2022-2023 Our 5 year old is enrolled here; and we are sooooo happy where our daughter spends her days learning and having fun! We moved from Argentina and finding a quality and caring preschool with bilingual teachers seemed impossible. We are so grateful to have found Rainforest, VPK program and their teaching mode to help transition from one language to another. Our daughter loves it! She has already learned a lot and every day she feels more comfortable speaking English. Also, soon our 1 year-old will start summer camp and daycare. If you are looking for a place with open / on-time communication, where all the staff are friendly, proactive, loving and careful with your children … this is the place ❤️ ----- Author: Brooke Kilmer Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/17/2024, 5:18:26 PM Review: Rainforest is FAMILY!! I started taking my daughter here in January after coming from another center. Whenever you first walk in, the atmosphere is always so light and cheerful. Ms. Rachelle (the owner) and Ms. Bridget (the director) are always there to greet you with a smile everyday. They are very personable and understanding. You can go to them for anything regarding your child! Then, walking through the center, one will notice that there are no full walls. They have half walls. As a mother, I actually found this very unique and comforting. Everyone can see everyone, on top of the surveillance cameras they have recording 24/7. This made me feel very safe. I have nothing but good experiences and words to say about the daycare itself and the staff that work there. Everyone is so warm and welcoming and you can tell that each and every one who works there has a passion and love for children. They truly strive to make it a safe and fun learning experience everyday. Definitely recommend!!! ----- Author: Toni Fuqua Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/17/2024, 4:20:54 PM Review: I've never met a more committed owner to provide a happy and safe environment for her children. I highly recommend Rainforest! ----- Author: Anna Carpanzano Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/20/2022, 4:38:04 PM Review: I cannot say enough wonderful things about this pre school! We were struggling a lot to find the right center for our little one as he has some struggles in school and Rainforest has been a God sent. My son is excelling so much in his academics, behavior, and social skills. We couldn’t be happier sending him. We know he’s always safe, loved, and learning! ----- Author: Christina Rudow Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/28/2022, 1:12:18 AM Review: My daughter attended for 9 months in the two and three year old classrooms. Every day she absolutely loved going to school, seeing her teachers especially Mrs Tiffany, Miss Norma, and Miss Sierra. They use an app that helps keep you updated throughout the day and send occasional photos which is really nice. My child was safe and happy and seemed to learn a lot there. I cannot say enough good things about them.

I am incredibly impressed with Rainforest Academy. Our first and only grandchild is thriving here. I watched him for his first year of life and was apprehensive to daycare until Rainforest. He is happy and is learning so much. His vocabulary has increased in one year to the point he can hold a conversation. I appreciate Rachelle's attention and concern for safety and care of each child. She and her director are open to conversation and are great with advice. They are welcoming to our entire family whenever we come to get our lil squish. Ms. Maria and Ms. Mo have been with our squish since he started, and we see how much they love him and all the children. As an overprotective Nana, I would not hesitate one moment in recommending Rainforest Academy. The Mulloy Family
My daughter was very shy, so I was apprehensive with her starting preschool. As soon as we walked in, I knew it was the right place for us, and it’s been such an excellent experience. The staff are all so caring and amazing!! They gave her the attention she needed for such a big transition, and checked in with us to let us know how she was doing. She’s now come such a long way socially and learned so much. She’s a social butterfly now! She looks forward to school and doesn’t want to leave at pickup!
Rainforest Academy is an absolute treasure and a gem of a preschool. They are patient, kind, great at teaching, respectful, loving, and warm. It's been truly a pleasure sending our daughter here, and I have only the highest esteem for the business and its wonderful, caring staff. I only wish I could rate this place higher than five stars!
Rainforest Academy has been an absolute blessing for my daughter and our family. From the moment we first visited, I knew this was the right place for her. The environment is warm, welcoming, and filled with a sense of adventure that perfectly aligns with the school's name. The staff are incredibly nurturing and attentive. They genuinely care about each child's development and well-being. My daughter has flourished under their care, growing not only academically but also emotionally and socially. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to balance structured learning with creative play, fostering a love of exploration and discovery. One of the standout aspects of Rainforest Academy is their commitment to providing healthy and fresh meals every day. As a parent, it's reassuring to know that my child is being well-nourished while she's at school. The open-door policy adds to the comfort of knowing that I can always be involved and informed about my daughter’s day-to-day activities. It truly has that family-run business feel—warm, personal, and always evolving. The school is constantly introducing new props, toys, and activities, ensuring that the environment stays engaging and never becomes boring for the children. The facility itself is spotless, and the staff are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. I feel confident that my daughter is in a safe, supportive, and enriching environment every time I drop her off. I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Rainforest Academy, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, educational, and inspiring place for their child.

Rachelle and staff at Rainforest Academy were wonderful to work with when looking for a school. The kids LOVE it there and always come home happy.
I've never met a more committed owner to provide a happy and safe environment for her children. I highly recommend Rainforest!
