Our daughter has attended Everbrook for almost 2 years. I am writing as the parent of a toddler in the classroom of Ms. Ciara Mercier to commend her work with children. While in Ms. Ciara Merciers room, our daughter is provided with structure and consistency with regard to expectations and behavior. She is supported in learning healthy ways of managing her emotional health, and is provided with a wealth of academic and cognitive education. Ms. Mercier has established an area where the children in her room can go to emotionally regulate, calm themselves, and take a timeout. Given the developmental stage of 2-year-olds, there are a lot of big feelings happening and Ms. Mercier is attentive and addresses these in a healthy and positive manner. She has partnered with us to maintain consistency between our home and the classroom, notably to address strong emotions and helping our child learn to regulate those and learn healthy coping skills. Ms. Mercier is excellent at communication and maintains open dialogue with us concerning our childs behavior and development. Our daughter is learning so much from Ms. Mercier, both in terms of emotional health and her cognitive and academic development. Ms. Mercier provides curated lesson plans aimed at helping the children in her classroom develop letter and number recognition and more. Our daughter knows her letters, can recognize her name and several other words, and loves to practice counting and her ABCs at home. Ms. Mercier is not only instructing her students, she is teaching them to love learning. And in addition to that, she is teaching these little folks how to manage their emotional health and be kind humans. Her class also frequently engages in fun gross and fine motor skills activities in a variety of settings, and the students are immersed in creative sensory experiences daily. Its clear Ms. Mercier puts a lot of time and thought into her lesson plans and approach to teaching, and we love seeing all that our daughter is learning. Our daughter loves school and often talks about her teachers at home. Having a teacher like Ms. Mercier is wonderful, and she is teaching little people so much more than academics as she incorporates sensory opportunities, motor skills, and mental health into each day. We could not be more pleased with the experience our child is having with Ms. Mercier as her classroom teacher. We felt compelled to write a sincere letter of our appreciation and recognition of Ms. Mercier going above and beyond each day.

We love this school. My kids really enjoyed going there and will miss being there. The directors and teachers have been so wonderful to my family. They are patient and care for each one of the kiddos as if they were their own.

Hands down, the best preschool around! From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted by a management team that truly cares. They're not just there to run things smoothly; they're there to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and valued. Their attention to detail is impeccable, from curriculum planning to daily operations, nothing is overlooked.
And let's talk about the teachers - absolute gems! Their passion for early childhood education shines through in everything they do. They go above and beyond to create a warm and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Each teacher takes the time to understand every child's unique needs, ensuring they receive personalized care and support.
My child has blossomed under their guidance, gaining confidence, social skills, and a love for learning that will last a lifetime. I am continually impressed by the creativity and dedication of the teaching staff. It's clear that they pour their hearts into their work, and it shows in the happy faces of the children.
If you're looking for a preschool where your child will not only learn but also feel cherished and supported, look no further. This is more than just a school; it's a second home for our little ones. Five stars doesn't even begin to do justice to the exceptional experience we've had here!

I would not recommend this center to any family. Most recently my child (4 years of age) has been called a racial slur by the lead teacher Ms. Sierra. It has been 2 weeks and nothing has been done on the schools end. They have suggested the information is false and denied me access to audio for the classroom cameras as well as refusing to meet with myself and my childs father to review the teachers aggressive behavior the two days she was in the classroom with our child. Prior to this incident I had brought several concerns to the assistant director, Cassie, regarding my child and each time I was quickly dismissed and my needs or expectations were not met. I attempted to have meetings with staff several times but theyd never follow up so I would have to stop in and chat with the director before or after work to get my concerns heard. I will say my son learned a lot at this center and he truly enjoyed Ms. Brooke and Ms. Lay. So sad a kid cant just be a kid in todays world with sick, hateful adults like such in this facility.

My kids absolutely love it here! The center is clean and staff are friendly! Danielle and Cassie are so flexible and great to work with. While scrolling here Im seeing some pretty negative reviews which I believe are the product of a disgruntled employee because as a parent that has been here for several years I have never seen this kind of behavior from leadership or the teaching staff. Our experience has been absolutely wonderful. My kids are safe, happy, and thriving. Every transition up I am in my emotions over them leaving their amazing teachers, only to be blown away by the level of care by the next group. Some staff have been here long enough to have cared for all of my children from infants and up and it has been so fun to watch each of my kids form a bond with them. This school has been a second home, welcoming, inviting, and inclusive. I recommend it to everyone.
