As a first time mom finding this school for my 3 year old was a blessing. He has learned so much in one year, and all thanks to Mrs. Jo. She is an angel on this earth, her patience and love for the kids is a virtue. My son loves to go to school, because of Mrs.Jo. She creates a nurturing environment for the kids. All of the staff at the learning nest is exceptional. Laurie and Cynthia are amazing they always great you with a smile and answer all your questions. I always felt my son was safe and in good hands here. Staff has been working there for 10+ years. Communication amongst staff members is great. The building and location is beautiful and so clean. I love the drop off and pick up process. They do fun activities with the kids. You cannot go wrong with this preschool they have definitely set the bar high for us!

There are so many positives! The building is neat, clean, and renovated to provide our children with a safe environment. The staff go above and beyond for our children every day. They don't just act like a babysitter, they nourish the ever growing minds of our children, love them as we do, and support them individually based on each child's needs. I can honestly say that I know my children are not only safe here, but they are having fun and learning a lot! Shout out to Ms. Laurie who is always there to help and keeps the school running beautifully (administrator), Ms. Cynthia who always has a smile and will help with whatever you need (front desk), Ms. Sabrina and Ms. Gabby for being amazing teachers for our littles and go above and beyond for each of our children learning what they love, making them feel comfortable and being ever so supportive, and Ms. Jo who has been there forever and I couldn't imagine the school without her. She's the reason my son loves to learn and loves going to school. Love you all! Highly recommend this school to everyone. Can't say enough good things!

My son started at the learning nest halfway through his “3-year-old” year and I couldn’t be happier with the choice we made! His teacher and the other students welcomed him openly and with plenty of love and support and made the difficult transition of changing schools incredibly easy for him. Their program is a fantastic mix of academic learning and social and emotional support ingrained in exploration and play. My son came home everyday with new facts to share, fun stories about his friends and an excitement to return the next day. We stayed here through summer camp and for Pre-K as well and my son started Kindergarten this year not only well prepared but scoring well above fellow students on his readiness tests. His teachers were kind, patient, and exceeded my expectations for the amount of interesting projects, science experiments, and experiences they provided in the classroom. The amazing leadership from the directors shines through from the moment you walk in the door and their ongoing support and care for their staff is obvious. This school is a gem and you should 100% check them out if you’re looking for exceptional childcare.

I feel lucky to have discovered such an amazing school for my children. My son went there from age 2 through kindergarten, and my other son is currently enrolled. The teachers and staff are exceptionally attentive and genuinely care about each child’s growth and development. The smaller class sizes, particularly in kindergarten, provide ample individual attention, which has been crucial for my child's progress. My son gained so much knowledge in kindergarten that he is more than fully prepared for 1st grade. I consistently recommend this school to everyone I know! Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and staff members there!

Our son has been attending the Learning Nest since PK3 (now VPK) and our experience has been nothing short of a godsend. Considering the accommodations, 1:1 attention and utmost care our son has received, I believe there is no comparable facility. I would like to give my sincerest thanks to Ms Laurie, Ms Jo, Ms Cara and the entire staff for everything they do. Our son is thriving at the Learning Nest and we are absolutely amazed with the progress he has made in language, writing, social skills and more.

I want to express my deep disappointment and anger at the discrimination that my family felt at the hands of this establishment, where my son was discriminated against for having a level 1 autism diagnosis. We had chosen this place to provide a safe and welcoming environment for our son, where he could develop and learn alongside his peers. However, the discrimination and exclusion that we experienced at the hands of Director Laurie are unacceptable. All children deserve to be treated with respect and understanding, regardless of their differences or special needs. Every time we went to ask for information to admit our son, she asked us for absurd requirements and many medical diagnoses that were not requested anywhere else. They even told me that it was not legal for her to ask for that information, and yet we brought everything to meet her requirements and to date we have never had a response from her. I feel that you have been unclear and have said up front that you did not want a child like my son in your establishment but instead of being honest you have been making absurd excuses and the discrimination my son has suffered is not only unfair but also sends a negative and damaging message to all children present in the nursery. It is vital that you take immediate action to address this discriminatory behaviour by raising awareness among staff about the importance of inclusion and equal opportunities for all children. My son deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, just like any other child in your care.

Quiero expresarles mi profunda decepción y molestia ante la discriminación que sentimos mi familia por parte de este establecimiento, donde mi hijo fue discriminado por tener un diagnostico de nivel 1 de autismo. Habíamos elegido este lugar para brindarle un ambiente seguro y acogedor a nuestro hijo, donde pudiera desarrollarse y aprender junto a sus pares. Sin embargo, la discriminación y exclusión que experimentamos por parte de la Directora Laurie son inaceptables. Todos los niños merecen ser tratados con respeto y comprensión, independientemente de sus diferencias o necesidades especiales. Cada vez que íbamos a pedir información para ingresar a nuestro hijo nos pedía requisitos absurdos y muchos Diagnósticos médicos qué en ningún otro lugar solicitaron, incluso me dijeron que no era legal que ella pidiera esa información y sin embargo todo lo llevábamos para cumplir con sus requisitos y hasta la fecha nunca tuvimos respuesta de su parte. Siento que le falto claridad y decir de frente que no quería un niño como mi hijo en su establecimiento pero en vez de ser sincera se la paso sacando excusas absurdas  y la discriminación que ha sufrido mi hijo no solo es injusta, sino que también envía un mensaje negativo y perjudicial a todos los niños presentes en la guardería. Es fundamental que tomen medidas inmediatas para abordar este comportamiento discriminatorio, sensibilizando al personal sobre la importancia de la inclusión y la igualdad de oportunidades para todos los niños. Mi hijo merece ser tratado con dignidad y respeto, al igual que cualquier otro niño en su cuidado.

The absolute best! A gem of a school. We were so grateful to find them for my son to attend VPK. He adored the teachers, Ms. Cara and Ms. Kyla. Cara is one of a kind! Incredibly patient and my son has really thrived. Both Cynthia and Laurie are absolutely amazing people, and the school is the cutest, cleanest one in town. The layout is great, the classes are great and the whole experience has been phenomenal. The Spanish teacher, Mrs. Rebecca is fabulous and Mrs.Jenn the speech teacher always has my son smiling. All around such an incredible place with everything you need.

My children have attended this school for over a year for both summer and the school year. There are so many positives! The building is neat, clean, and renovated to provide our children with a safe environment. The staff go above and beyond for our children every day.

If you are looking for a school for you child that feels like a family, this is the school for you. The same teachers have been working at this facility since my 7 year old attended school here. They go WAY above and beyond to ensure each child is comfortable and has a great experience. I was what one many call a nervous parent, and they went above and beyond to cater to my concerns, and provide me with additional reassurance. I have now sent two children to this school and I don't have a single negative to report. Miss Laurie the director in incredible and keeps you in the loop of all the happenings of the school. ALL of the teachers are phenomenal. I more than recommend.
