University Pre-School & Childcare

If you are looking for a preschool where your child will be cared for as well as have the chance to excel academically, this is the place for you! We happened upon this place and from the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel as if we belonged there. My son was 3 when he started there and they were always very flexible with our schedule, letting us switch from full time to part time as needed. Now he is in kindergarten and intellectually he is so far above the other children in his class! He was reading before he left preschool. Ms. Connie and the other teachers there are truly amazing! Whenever I walked in the preschool there was learning going on and it was highly organized. We are so happy that our little boy was able to spend two wonderful years of his life here!

Before placing my child at a preschool, I did plenty of research and found University Preschool to be the best fit for my son and family. I met with Ms. Connie and wanted to find out their method of teaching. Ms. Connie’s background is very impressive. She ran a Montessori school in the Philippines; I’m very familiar with their philosophy as I went to one. Ms. Connie and her staff’s approach to education are based on the child’s own personality. The process helps children learn in their own way at their own pace which promotes the joy of learning.
I highly recommend University Preschool to friends/​family. My other son will also be going to this school. Thank you Ms. Connie and to your teachers!

My wife found University pre-​school a while back. Our experience has been excellent over the last year plus.
When my son first started attending he was in the younger group. Admittedly he was a wild child. I’m not sure where he got it from, wasn’t me (points to wife) but he was. When he moved into the older group (front house) with Ms. Connie he was disruptive, rude and wouldn’t follow the class schedule. At one point he even threw a shoe at a teacher and hit one with a stick. Completely unacceptable, I know.
Connie and I started having regular dialogues about improving his behavior. Things to do at home, conversations to have, toys to remove etc. I felt like I had a second mother. She cares so much about my son’s future she’ll even text me details about the day if I’m not to the one to pick him up. To give you an idea of how bad he was, I had to pull him a few times from school. Our home is a balanced one, with boundaries but something about school has him seeking the attention of others and becomes a class clown. We didn’t have the terrible 2’s but the 3’s were bad!
It took us 6 months. Connie, myself and my wife working very hard to give our son the structure he needed to be a good student and follow the rules of the class. I’m happy to report that he’s nearly reading, doing basic math, playing nicely with the other children and telling us all the details about his day when he gets home. My son has taken his first steps for a bright future and I’m thankful Connie and staff care enough to invest so much.
There’s another reviewer here mentioning cleanliness. I’ve personally witness on a late Friday evening when I picked our son up late Connie and staff cleaning the entire school prior to the weekend. Our son went through a period of time where he was regularly sick too, it’s called childhood. Every child needs to build their antibodies up. At 3 my son put everything in his mouth, at school, at home and even while shopping. A good diet and proper sleep will help. I’m not certain it’s fair to blame the school.
I’d highly recommend this school, largely in part because of the culture Connie has developed. These folks LOVE their students and in turn my son is better for it. Around other children his age he is more mature, balanced, social and articulate. This is a far cry from where he was last year this time.

Three months in, and my child & I still really like University Preschool — in fact, I’m now bumping them up from 4 stars to 5! :) Please see my previous detailed review. And if my review makes you interested in enrolling, please send me a message and I will give you my info so you can list me as the person who referred you. It would be a huge help to my family to get that referral bonus, plus, I really like this place and I would love to see them get some more kids enrolled. Thanks!
