What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
I sent both of my girls to ACEC for a 2-year period and absolutely loved it. I felt my girls were loved by the teachers and learned from their peers. The staff was so welcoming and understanding that each girl had their own personality and needs. It was a small, intimate environment that I wish we could've continued through elementary school. I will also say that we have continued to be friends this the staff for years after sending our girls. It's not just a school, but a community. Today I am still friends with two of their teachers and it's a small-town feel in a big city.
We have our one year old at ACEC and love the program. All of his teachers give such great attention to our son and all have a friendly attitude. The program is well organized and the staff does a great job communicating with my wife and I.
My family loves ACEC! My sons attended ACEC for two years and had a wonderful experience there. The teachers and directors are all so kind and caring and know pretty much all of the kids because of its smaller size. My boys learned a lot at ACEC and made wonderful friends too! I’d definitely recommend ACEC to anyone looking for a great neighborhood preschool for their kids!
ACEC is a terrific little school. We’ve been here for the past 6 years, spanned over 2 kids. All the teachers and staff are personable and willing to talk to the parents about their children, and I love that it’s a small school because it feels manageable for parents and kids. Bonus are on-campus Soccer Shots and dance classes for 3 and 4 year olds, the daily music classes, and the dual playground with a toddler section!
If we could give a higher rating we could. ACEC is clean with moderate sized classrooms. Our son has attended this school for the past two years. All of the teachers are incredibly loving and involved in our son's education. From helping with potty training, to learning new lessons each week, we are beyond thrilled with our experience. The directors, Rachel & Kelly are very well experienced in keeping up with the rules and regulations of daycare programs. They have made it an incredibly safe and loving place for my child to start their early education. They are flexible and understanding having their own children attend ACEC and they are in college now!
