As a nervous first-time mom, choosing a preschool was such a big decision for me. From day one, Kinderbugs made both my son and me feel completely supported and cared for. The first few days were tough — my son cried during drop-off — but the teachers and aids were incredibly patient, reassuring, and kind. They kept me updated and truly helped ease my anxiety. It was clear they genuinely cared about his emotional well-being, not just the routine of the day. What impresses me most is their curriculum. The amount my son has learned is truly amazing. He’s only 4 years old and already knows how to read! I’m constantly blown away by how much he absorbs and how excited he is to share what he learned at school. Kinderbugs has been such a positive experience for our family, and I’m so grateful for the love, structure, and education they provide. I highly recommend them to any parent — especially first-time moms who need that extra reassurance!

My son has been attending this school since he was 3 and we absolutely love it. You truly feel like family here and it’s so comforting to know my son is in good hands. He has also learned so much and enjoys attending everyday. Highly highly recommend for preschool and prek!
This school has really taught my daughter so much. She knew most phonograms and could read at age three. She is now in kinde prep. she knows all her phonograms, can read and write very well. The school is pricey but worth the investment into my child’s education.
This is our 4th year with Kinderbugs! We’ve had an amazing experience with our two daughters. They’ve learned to much before they’re 5 years old. The transition from preschool to kindergarten was seamless and I know that’s because of the curriculum Kinderbugs has. The teachers and staff are always smiling and so welcoming every day.

Our daughter is excited to go to school every single day, which says everything. She’s learning so much—her reading and writing skills have grown tremendously! Ms. Jen is truly remarkable—so patient, kind, and genuinely caring with her students. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher for our daughter. We’re grateful for such a positive start to her education and can’t wait for the rest of this year and kindergarten next year!

Updated review: Our son has been attending Kinderbugs for the past three years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! The school provides a nurturing and engaging environment where he has truly thrived academically and socially. The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated, supportive, and genuinely care about each child’s growth. Now, our daughter has joined Kinderbugs and is thriving in her preschool class as well! It’s amazing to see both of our children so excited to learn each day. We highly recommend Kinderbugs to any parent looking for a high-quality school! ••• If I could give 10 stars I would!! We love Kinderbugs! After looking into and visiting many schools (we did not want a daycare), my husband and I toured Kinderbugs and immediately knew it was the school we wanted to send our son to. This is a HIGH quality school that focuses on education and structure in the classroom! Our son has been with Kinderbugs for almost a year now and is exceeding in his class! The staff is always so friendly and amazing. I highly recommend Kinderbugs!
We love Kinderbugs! Our son is thriving beyond what we expected. He really looks forward to going everyday there is always something fun and educational happening. From the first day of school until now he’s opened up and has a different confidence about him ! Ms Kathy is a superstar and we really can’t thank this school enough. Already enrolling our youngest and excited to see his growth too!
My son is absolutely thriving in Pre-K at Kinderbugs. He is reading and writing at or above a kindergarten level, his handwriting is beautiful, and he loves going to school each day. The school environment is fun and inviting. I am so grateful for Kinderbugs and Ms. Jen.
