School Reviews

Our daughter (then aged 3.5) joined Crestview a year ago after we moved from the UK. It`s a gem. It`s a small, mixed-age group preschool with c.15 children aged 2.5-6. There is a nice, close-knit, multicultural group of children who get on well together and support each other in their learning and development. It`s a Montessori so the older children mentor the younger ones, good for learning on both sides. The staff are exceptional, kind, and deeply care about the children. They have created a warm, supportive, and nurturing environment, and are attuned to the needs of each child. Our daughter is making great progress in her reading, writing, and fine motor skills. They also do a lot of creative work (painting, singing, dancing, etc.). Thoroughly recommend it; our daughter is very happy there.
