Parent Testimonials

We highly recommend St. Gerard's preschool program!  All three of our girls have participated in the 3 year old and 4 year old program, with our youngest currently enrolled in the new all-day 4 year old preschool program. As parents that are employed full-time, it was very important for us to place our children in a setting that could provide them with a strong academic base, a setting that our children could feel like they belonged, and most importantly, a setting where we knew our children would be safe.
The staff here are wonderful, extremely loving and attentive.  They foster independence, creativity, and a genuine pride in learning in all of their students.  Our daughter wakes up each day and is excited to go to preschool.  We are confident that she will have an easy transition into Kindergarten because of this program and the amazing teachers.

This year marks the end of our preschool era, with our third child moving onto Kindergarten in the Fall of 2019.  This milestone send off is easier knowing that our child has been prepared for elementary school by the dedicated and caring preschool staff at St. Gerard.  These teachers work hard to ensure that children are ready academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually to enter the next phase of their education.   We strongly recommend St. Gerard to any family looking to give their child the best start!

I wish we would have known about St. Gerard preschool much sooner!  Our youngest son attended the 4 year old Preschool this year when we moved all three of our children to St. Gerard for school.  Our son has grown so much and we can confidently say he has had tremendous growth from his previous school.  He will be ready for Kindergarten without a doubt.

I can't say enough about what a great year my son is having in the 4 year old afternoon preschool class.  It has been a tear free year for my son and in turn for me.  I have the kind of little boy that will get away with whatever he can if you let him.  His teachers have been sophisticated enough to work with him without shaming or fault finding but rather supportively engaged his participation in ways that worked for everyone.  He is on track for kindergarten and we couldn't be happier with all of the behavioral and academic growth he has made this year.

My daughter loves school here! The teachers, staff, and childcare providers have been warm, kind, thoughtful, fun, and empowering. It is a gift to not have to struggle with my daughter in the morning, because she is so happy to go to school. And even better, I love hearing about what she did and learned when I pick her up. We've had an excellent year.

Our son Tyler attended both the three and four year old preschool programs at St. Gerard. We are both educators and we couldn't be happier with the experiences he had and continues to have! We see the pride he has about "his" school and how far he hascome as a learner with the love and support he gets at St. Gerard.

Absolutely the best choice we've made for our children! Wonderful school!

We love St. Gerard Preschool and child care! Riley had a great Spring Break but today he told me he misses "Nylander School" and Child Care. Thanks to ALL staff for their hard work and dedication to the children.
