What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We LOVE the Ridge preschool! I cannot recommend it enough. The teachers are all very intentional with each child and really partner with the parents to help with learning, behavior and social skills. One of my kids even decided to learn to potty train because of his teachers encouragement…..WIN! Lucy, Jenni and their staff are just the best. We’re so grateful!
We absolutely love The Ridge Preschool. Our kids have grown so much here. Fantastic leadership, warm, caring teachers and wonderful activities for your child including a big outdoor space. You get a daily report with photos at end of day. Highly recommend!
We LOVE TRP! The staff are friendly and truly care about each child at their school. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and engaging environment where children feel safe and are given opportunities to learn, grow, and explore.
I have 3 kids at The Ridge Preschool and they all love it! They love playing outside everyday. They love learning Spanish and music and letters and learning. The teachers and directors are so so great and care about each student (and their families!).
From the music to the outdoor learning space,as well as the individual class rooms , you will definitely be amazed at the creativity and warm environment in which loving and caring about children is their #1 priority! The learning that transpires is phenomenal and it continues to be a place my grandson loves!
