What parents say

• Beth MacDonald

  My son has attended pre-k at A Child First for 2.5 years now. I can’t express enough the gratitude I feel for this pre-k program! The pre-k is inclusive and is tailored to support all areas of his development - social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language. The day is structured into routines to facilitate play-based learning, arts and crafts as well as teaching students how to print their letters. A few highlights include special helper days (my son loves this day!), holiday concerts, yoga and field trips. In addition, communication has been excellent with monthly newsletters to keep parents updated on future events. My son has demonstrated such growth in all areas of his development since he started pre-k at A Child First. His play skills, expressive speech language, self-regulation and social skills all have improved immensely. I can’t thank his lovely teachers enough! Ms. Julie, Ms. Janice and Ms. Tracy have all demonstrated such kindness, patience and care for our son and his development. We can’t thank his teachers enough for preparing my son for his transition to Kindergarten next year. We are truly grateful!! -Beth

  Our family and both of our children have really enjoyed A Child First. The care our children received from the teachers has been the most impactful takeaway for us. We are very grateful for this caring and inclusive classroom environment.

  Both my girls have attended A Child First Preschool (Chaparral). The teachers are truly one of a kind. You can see how much they truly adore the children. I've seriously considered having another baby just so I don't have to say goodbye to this amazing school. My girls have thrived at A Child First, met many great friends, learnt what they needed to be prepared for Kindergarten & had fun along the way. As a mom I felt my children were being given the tools they needed to prosper in school, all while being in a caring, loving and safe environment.

  I cannot say enough good things about A Child First Preschool in Chaparral. Both my kids attended 2 years each and LOVED it. The teachers are all amazing and genuinely care about the kids. They work so hard to create a fun, loving, and safe learning environment for them. Highly recommend!!

  We had a wonderful year at A Child First Preschool. Our son loved going to school and would enthusiastically ask every day “do I get to go to school today?” His teachers were fun and positive, he came home with many creative crafts, and gained confidence writing his letters and working on skills like putting on his shoes and zipping up his jacket. The preschool was good at communicating with parents, and we enjoyed the special events like Mother’s Day and graduation. Thank you for making our son’s first experience of school a positive one!
