We couldn't be happier with our preschool experience with ABCDE. The staff is amazing. My son was so happy here and was more than ready for kindergarten. Thanks guys!

I cannot say enough great things about Mr. O and his staff. Our family has used ABCDE for the last 5 years and we are only leaving because our youngest is headed to kinder. They are fantastic with our children (both special needs) and love these kids so much. My kids are always safe, well cared for and learn a lot! They do a great job with preschool and have lots of hands-on, enriching play (and animals) for the kids to experience. They have gone above and beyond with my children and have an experienced staff. I cannot recommend them enough. This school often has a waitlist, so definitely call and get your spot! You won't be sorry! We will miss them dearly!

ABCDE is amazing!! Both my son and daughter have gone to ABCDE and have thrived/learned so much! The staff at ABCDE are amazing!! They truly treat the children like they are their own and care about their well-being. I'm so grateful and thankful for having a place like ABCDE part of this parenting team with my children! They are the best!!

My son has been attending since he was 3, he’s 4.5 now and I have to say how much I’ve always loved this place! He has learned so much!! The teachers and owner as very nice and when my son began attending he cried from separation anxiety and they really took the time to hold him and make sure he was okay. They also have animals there (which we liked), and a huge backyard to play in. They focus on all areas of learning as well as socialization. I’m so happy my son goes there, we will be sad to leave for kindergarten.

I can't say enough good things about the adventure begins! The owner Mr. O has created an incredibly fun and engaging space for the kids and is constantly thinking up new themes and activities for them. In the summer they have bubble and water parties, fun with food Fridays, glow in the dark parties, and many more fun activities. My son loved his and this space so much that he would complain if I came to pick him up early. He grew to love Ms. Charlie, Ms. Jodi, and especially Ms. Dean. He talked about them non stop at home. The best part was that I knew they loved him and cared for him too. Ms. Dean even came to his birthday party. This is also a great learning environment for both academics and social emotional growth. The staff love kids and it shows. I wish they taught Kinder so my son could stay there one more year.

When we first planned on having my son attend preschool we (my mother and I) must have gone through so many interviews regarding what they teach, the food, the student to teacher ratio, safety, etc. As I was heading to work I figured I stop by at ABCDE, I met Jaime and he walked me around the school and showed me their schedule and curriculum they were teaching the kids. My family and I including grandma came for a second look and felt pretty confident of this facility. My son started attending ABCDE Feb 2015 at the age of 2 1/2 and has recently graduated preschool! We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done. We have noticed such hunger to learn and thrive from our son. He can't wait to start Kindergarten!

The teachers at ABCDE have been WONDERFUL. Everyone there is like family and my child loves it there. Although he is a high spirited boy, Nadine has done a wonderful job with meeting his special needs. He graduated preschool last summer but continues to go after school and I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. He has attended several local preschools & ABCDE is the ONLY one that has offered the one on one attention he needs. Thank you Jaime, Nadine, Jody & the rest of the staff.
