I highly recommend Arcadia Episcopal Preschool (AEP). My 10 year old son attended AEP and when my daughter was ready for pre-school we did not hesitate to enroll her in AEP. They have a great foundation that they have been practicing for many years. What I like most about AEP is their focus on social-emotional development of the children and the age-appropriate curriculum. They focus on social goals such as following rules, routines, and manners. Kids learn to express themselves verbally, resolve conflict, turn-taking, sharing, and other important social skills and all in a very positive environment. Ms. Marie, the Director of AEP, loves her job. She runs the school and also helps the teachers with the kids on all levels throughout the day. The teachers are so loving and patient and they all know the name of every child in the school.

The school is clean and provides everything kids need to keep them physically active and interested in learning.  Even though it’s a small school, it offers two big playgrounds with outdoor painting, climbing structures and even a bike path to ride the many tricycles the school has for the kids. Hot and healthy lunches are included in the tuition and the year-round program is great for working parents.

My daughter 4 1/2, is showing a lot of interest in her numbers and letters. She likes to write her name and the names of her friends in class. My son 10, was well-prepared for kindergarten and has been in the top of his class every year. My daughter will be starting T-K shortly and I am sure she will have a smooth transition due to the social skills she has learned at AEP.

I would highly recommend AEP to any parent who wants their child to thrive in a loving, positive, and stimulating school like AEP.
