Lollipops & Letters Preschool

This was a place of joyous laughter, cozy learning circles, and beautiful friendships. The teachers were outstanding and had a special quality about them. I was more impressed with Ashley and Kelly than any other preschool teachers I had observed. Unfortunately there have been some major staffing changes and the magic is gone. The school is in turmoil and appears the major focus is on filling the rooms to capacity with no concern for children’s happiness or well being. So very sad that this school does not appreciate the most wonderful teachers that our children love and adore.

I really love the teachers at Lollipops and Letters and their individual teaching philosophy. However, this is a very academic, uptight and rigid school. Teri, the director, seems very disengaged and I’m not sure I ever have seen her smile. She never toured the school with us (probably because she hates her job) and had one of the teachers do so instead. On my child’s first day there was one teacher for 12 kids (I was told it was a 1:4 ratio — which is why I enrolled my child) and circle-​time lasted for about 30 minutes (also too long for toddlers in my opinion). To make a very frustrating and upsetting situations short — Teri disenrolled my child on the 4^th day due to «not being able to sit down during circle time and being disruptive.» Are you kidding me? This a brand new classroom, with brand new toys, and of course a child would rather explore a new environment than sit for 30 minutes talking about the weather (they literally talked about the weather). So all-​in-​all I agree that this school was not a good fit for my high-​energy, very sweet, very curious, and very bright child (began speaking before 12 months) and instead found a different preschool that was play-​based and geared towards the needs of children and now my child is actually happy to go to school. If your child has no personality, no creativity, and likes being told what to do, then this is the school for you…

I originally enrolled my son in another preschool, but he was miserable. Once we moved him to Lollipops & Letters, we noticed a big difference in him. He is always very excited to get to school, and I know he has a blast because he always has great things to say when he comes home.
The teachers are great, they have field trips, and even activities for the parents (Mom’s night out!!!).
My son has learned soooo much since he’s been there… I would recommend this VERY HIGHLY to everyone.
