  Polka Dot Preschool is truly outstanding! After comparing many other daycares, I can confidently say that Polka Dot stands out the most! The director, Karine, is incredibly responsible and continuously creates amazing activities that keep the children engaged and learning. It’s a safe and nurturing place for kids to grow, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my child receives. In the toddler class, Ms. Mira and Ms. Sara provide fantastic care, making sure my little one feels loved and supported every day. I highly recommend Polka Dot Preschool to any parent looking for a top-quality school!😊

  We are incredibly grateful for Polka Dot Preschool. After a less-than-ideal experience at a previous daycare—where drop-offs often involved tears—we were understandably anxious about transitioning our daughter to a new center. From the moment we joined Polka Dot, our worries disappeared. The environment here is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully structured. The staff is not only friendly but genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction. Her teachers, Ms. Emily and Ms. Brittany, along with Ms. Karine, have been so kind and supportive throughout her transition. Our daughter now looks forward to going to school every day—a complete turnaround from our past experience. She comes home excited to share stories about her day, from music class and puppet shows to magic shows and the occasional make-your-own-dessert activity. The learning program is strong, with age-appropriate focus on numbers, letters, and even basic science—all taught in a fun and engaging way. We also love how involved parents are encouraged to be in the school community. Polka Dot Preschool has truly been a game-changer for our family. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a nurturing and joyful learning space. We couldn’t be happier.

  After touring several daycares, we visited Polka Dot. Right away we knew it was the one. The staff is warm and welcoming and we knew from the start that we can trust them to care for our son (toddler room). Ms. Karine, the director, is so kind and involved — you can tell she truly cares about every child there. The toddler room teachers, Ms. Mira and Ms. Sara, have both been so amazing. They are so kind and patient with our son. He is now thriving here. He loves his friends and teachers at Polka Dot and he’s super excited every morning when it’s time to go. Pickups are full of smiles and stories from his day! We couldn’t be any happier with our decision to enroll our toddler here. Would highly recommend!

From the very beginning, the team has been attentive and responsive to our questions and needs, making me feel confident that my princess is in excellent hands. I have especially appreciated the creative and engaging activities, the focus on individual growth, and the positive, friendly atmosphere that makes every day at the center enjoyable. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about each child’s development and well-being. I am grateful for the consistent communication and personalized attention, and feel fortunate that my daughter is part of such a wonderful community. I highly recommend Polka Dot to any parent looking for a high-quality, nurturing early learning environment. A special thank you to Ms. Karine, Natasha, and Batul — My princess and I truly love and appreciate all of you! Your dedication, warmth, and encouragement make the center feel like a second home.

  My daughter joined summer camp here initially after we came back from our vacation. I was so worried because my daughter is very sensitive to environment changing. And the worries soon got resolved after a week. My daughter quickly adapted here and willing to walk into the class herself or let the teachers holding her every morning. This just shows how much care she has received from her teachers - Ms.Zohre and Ms.Sasha. They are so warm and nice to the kids in their class and we were so relieved to let my daughter continue her preschool here after the summer camp! Thank you Ms.Zohre, Ms.Sasha and all other teachers especially the principal Ms.Karine who organized such a lovely and supportive environment together for the kids attending school. Overall, the staffs here are very nice and caring; the environment is clean and organized; the program is fun and full of activities. It is definitely one of the best schools we have chosen for our daughter!
