Edelweiss has been a huge blessing to us. Our daughter wants to go to school everyday (even on weekends). The teachers are amazing and the communication between home and school is open, prompt and clear. We love Edelweiss!

This is my son’s second year attending Edelweiss. I have been amazed at their exceptional organization and exceptional programming - Kindergarten is just full of such exciting things for the kiddos and there’s so much variety in what kids are offered. I love that they get exposure to drama, music, Spanish, science, yoga and more! The teachers and staff are so kind and I feel like they really are here for the kids. It’s easy for staff to get burnt out, but here they seem excited to see the kids everyday!

This truly is one of the best education experiences I would imagine for any child. There is a lot of intention that goes into the curriculum and they take the best parts of the many education programs/theories to make one that is incredible. Each month the classroom does activities and learning that relate to the theme and virtue. The classroom decor is rotated and same with the toys and literature. I am impressed with the variation in activities the kids get to do in class as well as the guests the bring in and field trips they attend. The administration of the school is also very well organized with the staff being quick to respond. The teachers and staff are very nurturing and kind and have the kid's best interest at heart. I would love if this was a Pre K-12 school and am grateful we had such a great experience!

Our family moved to Canada in 2022, and Edelweiss preparatory school welcomed our son warmly despite his limited English skills. The school is exceptionally clean and hygienic. Activities, worksheets, and field trips, especially Captain Science experiments, have been wonderful. Miss Alexandra's care and regular updates about our son eased our fears. Spanish class has been a highlight, and real-life experiments like duck hatching captivated the students. Seasonal activities and concerts are excellently organized. The Butterfield Acres petting farm visit was a joy for the kids. Special thanks to Miss Margaret, Captain Science, Miss Alexandra, and all the staff. This School is outstanding for teaching discipline and respect. My son is so lucky to have Edelweiss Preparatory School for his initial learning process. Highly recommended!
