Testimonials
“Every time we drop our kids off at The Preschool we feel lucky that we discovered this magical place. One of my daughters graduated from The Preschool after completing all of the offered programs. We chose to stay another year instead of enrolling her in public TK because the curriculum here is robust yet still taught in a way that is fun and interactive. Her transition into Kindergarten was a success! My currently enrolled daughter has blossomed socially and emotionally in the preschool program. She has learned so much by simply exploring the classrooms and the outside play areas that are both thoughtfully designed to encourage imaginative play. The teacher’s are amazing with the children, and both of my daughters formed connections with them right away. We were new to Claremont when my oldest daughter started at The Preschool, and through volunteering and participating in school events, my husband and I were able to build life-long friendships with other families. We highly recommend The Preschool!”

“Our family cannot speak highly enough about The Preschool at CUMC. Both of my daughters have attended and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The play-based learning approach truly fosters creativity and independence while making learning fun. The teachers and staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive, always creating a supportive environment where each child feels valued and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The sense of community at this preschool is special—it’s not just a school, but a place where families are welcomed and connected. I'm so grateful for the positive impact they've had on my daughters' development and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any family!”

“We are so grateful for the three wonderful years our son has spent at The Preschool at Claremont United Methodist Church. From the very first day, we felt welcomed into such a warm, loving, and thoughtful community that truly feels like an extended family. Every teacher has been incredibly attentive and so skilled at meeting each child where they are, honoring their feelings, encouraging their curiosity, and guiding them gently as they learn about the world and how to be kind to others. I have been so impressed with how the program focuses on hands-on, play-based learning that makes every day fun and meaningful for little ones. The way the teachers create opportunities for children to explore, imagine, and solve problems, all while nurturing their sense of belonging and confidence, has been such a gift to our son’s development. The director is truly exceptional. She leads the preschool with so much warmth, care, and thoughtful attention to each child and family. Her leadership creates an environment where joyful learning, creativity, and social growth are at the heart of everything. We always felt confident that our son was not only safe and happy, but thriving.
We will always look back on these years with gratitude and affection. This preschool has laid such a loving foundation for our son’s future and we couldn’t be happier with our experience here. We cannot wait for our little girl to start!”

“This preschool is awesome! My five year old son and two year old daughter are both falling in love with learning because of this school. Every day teachers demonstrate that they care about my kids’ individual development while encouraging their social collaboration skills. The teachers at this school are role models to children and to adults alike. I have personally gained so many valuable parenting skills by observing the teachers interact with the kids. In addition, the preschool events bring children and parents together to build relationships and foster community. Every weekend I mountain bike with dads that I've met through preschool events. How cool is that! So not only are my kids surrounded by teachers, friends, and parent volunteers who nurture their development, but I too have built terrific new relationships with preschool families. If you are looking for a preschool, then this is the place to check out.”
