What parents say

• Falisha Adatia

  We started our son in December, and have been nothing short of impressed, appreciative and grateful. The staff has been accommodating as our son changed to a new environment, new nap routine, and new cuisine. The professionalism held by the staff has not only impressed us, but you can truly see that they care about your child's well being. Our son is excited to be dropped off each morning, and continues to learn new skills that he uses at home. Thank you Academics PreKindergarten Westwood for welcoming our family into yours!

  I am thrilled to leave a glowing 5-star review for my daughter's preschool! From the moment we enrolled her, we knew we made the right choice. The staff and teachers are simply amazing; they genuinely care for each child's well-being and development. We’re grateful for the incredible environment it provides for our child's growth and learning .Their dedication to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children is evident in everything they do. Not only is my daughter learning and growing every day, but the long hours of operation are a lifesaver for us working parents. Knowing that she is in a safe and secure environment, with access to webcams to check in on her whenever we need, brings us immense peace of mind throughout the day. The addition of a chef at the school is a game-changer! Knowing that she's enjoying nutritious meals prepared on-site adds an extra layer of reassurance for us as parents. We couldn't be happier with our experience at this preschool. It truly exceeds all our expectations, and we're grateful for the incredible environment it provides for our child's growth and learning . We are beyond grateful for the outstanding experience our family has had at this Academics Pre-k. It truly goes above and beyond in every aspect, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for the perfect place for their child to thrive.

  This school is hands down one of the best academic schools to have your child attend. I love how all the teachers are caring and loving. All teachers are so supportive of all the parents as well which makes us parents feel so much better dropping our children off each day to the daycare. The chef is amazing with all the healthy meals he prepares each day for the students. My daughter has been here since the infant room and now she is in the toddler program. She is happy to go to school each day she runs as soon as we enter the school to her room she doesn’t even look back at me when she gets into her room. My daughter has improved so much with her learning since she started at this school. So thankful my daughter attends this school ♥️!

  There is a lot of value in knowing that your child will wake up every morning excited to attend daycare. That was the type of experience we had at Academics. Our daughter loved being a part of the Academics-Westwood family. She developed incredible relationships here. My daughter has always considered her teachers like a second mom, because they were that patient, spent that much effort to get to know the kids, and were just that kind. Ms. Madalina, Ms. Rose and Ms. Jenny prepared her extremely well for kindergarten. Our daughter is generally reserved and takes time to get used to new environments. She walked right into Kindergarten by herself on the first day of class last week. This was 100% the result of the time and effort the teachers put in to help the kids prepare for this transition into a new adventure of their lives. The skills she developed and the knowledge she accumulated over her four years at Academics has been incredible. She used to come home telling us wonderful facts about the world, all things she learned from the incredible curriculum Ms. Madalina put together. Also, Ms. Madalina takes the kids to field trips! Can you imagine taking 16 little kids to the pet store or grocery store? It's not easy, it's not mandatory, yet the teachers spend the effort to plan these outings and expose the kids to the wonderful things our world has to offer. The administrators of this school are also wonderful. They're organized, on top of things, and there was never a moment where I felt confused about what came next in the fourth years my daughter was enrolled there. Last but not least, Chef Abe. We were so impressed with the effort he put into planning meals. The kids are exposed to a variety of different cuisines, and I think that initiated my daughter's love for all things food related. As first time parents, we found ourselves worrying about our daughter's nutrition. However, as my husband always says, "at least we know she's getting proper nutrition at daycare." There is a lot of heart and soul that goes into running this daycare. We would recommend it 100%.

The teachers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring and collaborative, treating every child as their own. Our daughter absolutely loves her teachers and enjoys every moment she spends there. Knowing that she is in such loving and capable hands gives us great peace of mind. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community! Highly recommended.
