What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
In our opinion Saint Andrew Preschool is one of if not the best Early Childhood Education center in the Dallas Metro area. Our son attended Saint Andrew from 1 to 5 years old and just completed the program last year. We can definitively say that Saint Andrew Preschool exceeded our expectations for our Son both academically and spiritually. We feel he was very well prepared for not just academically for Primary School but all aspects of our child’s development. This year we enrolled our 1 year old daughter and are excited to experience it all again. Many thanks to the teachers and administration of Saint Andrew Preschool! They are exemplary!
St. Andrew Preschool has been the biggest blessing to our family. From day one our kids and our family have been welcomed with open arms. Our kids are loved beyond measure at SAP and dropping them off feels like leaving them with family. The program beautifully weaves faith into their academic curriculum giving kids a top notch education that is faith centered. The kids are also introduced to music, art, spanish, movement, gardening and much more. We are so thankful for this preschool and the community it has provided for our family!
When we drop off our children at St. Andrew Preschool, we are at peace knowing we’re giving them the very best. Not only do the teachers and staff genuinely care for our whole family—the structure and curriculum prepares the students for elementary school in ways we could not do ourselves. The school is exceptional with their communication and events to help ensure parents are informed and have opportunities to get involved and build community within the St. Andrew Preschool family. We are extremely grateful for all this school has already done for our family.
Our family has been so blessed by the wonderful staff at St. Andrew, and we cannot say enough good things about our time at SAP! Every staff member knows my sons by name, and I drop them off at school knowing they’ll be loved and nurtured all day. They’ve improved by leaps and bounds even in just the first month of being back in school, and I am so impressed with the curriculum and what all they are learning. Highly recommend this program, I just wish they could be here longer!
Wonderful preschool that perfectly combines Christian faith and academics in a nurturing environment. Both of our girls love all their extra enrichment classes including music, movement, Spanish, gardening, and so much more. All the teachers know our girls by name and make them feel so welcomed and loved. We are so blessed to be a part of such an amazing program!
