International School For Peace

Our daughters have been thriving at ISP. We moved them from a larger daycare center and the difference has been night and day. No more crying at drop off! They get sick much less frequently. Excellent student/teacher ratios. They both love their teachers and come home singing songs in Spanish. The environment is very professional and rules are taken seriously, which is a good fit for us but may not work for everyone.

We could not be happier with ISFP. The staff are warm and caring, professional, and very patient with the children. I love the bi-lingual teaching, artwork, and outdoor playtime for our daughter. Highly recommended!

The ISP is a lifelong gift for my three grandchildren. Emma, Maddie and Jackson greatly benefit from their teachers and curriculum. Exposure to the languages of Spanish, Hebrew and Farsi and the various cultures, encourages the children to know what inclusivity and diversity really looks like in our world. The educators at ISP are skilled, loving professionals, who joyfully welcome each child and adult every morning and throughout the day. I am grateful Emma, Maddie and Jackson spend many of their days in this warm, creative preschool environment.

To say that our experience at ISP was great, is a massive understatement. My kiddo attended for 2 years and if they had a kinder class she would continue to attend. I love everything about ISP. From the staff, to the grounds, the environment of the classrooms and campus,to the parents that have kids attending. It's a win win. With the Pre-K friendly curriculum, I saw my child nurtured and thrive learning Spanish, Farsi with Ms.Farzana and Hebrew with Ms Jodi. The staff is very passionate about the growth of the little ones and giving them the tools to have healthy interactions with others and themselves. One thing that stood out most for me is that a lot of the maestras have worked at isp for nearly 10yrs. That was a plus for me. Communication is very clear and straightforward(if you need that).We had Ms. Lydia for the 2 years but we interacted with the rest of the maestras often as well. Ms Lydia is a GEM. It's clear they love what they do and the kids love them. I saw kids that struggle with separating from their parents/caregivers in the beginning, run into class midway through the year. Ms. Cathy DeMers, the director is always very open and welcoming and willing to talk and assist where ever you need her Please, do not hesitate to take a tour and consider ISP for your preschoolers needs and growth.

Our daughter spent two wonderful years at ISP, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her experience there. In her first year, she was in a small class with just seven other students, supported by her teacher and a teaching assistant. She had an incredible time, made lasting friendships, and developed socially in ways we hadn’t anticipated. She absolutely adored her teacher and was genuinely sad to finish the year with her. The following year, our daughter was a bit nervous about transitioning to a new class with a different teacher and more students. We initially worried that she might not receive as much individual attention in a larger class, but those concerns proved to be unfounded. Ms Paola was an exceptional teacher who connected with each of her students, including our daughter. She fostered a warm and nurturing learning environment where our daughter and her classmates grew both socially and creatively. Over the year, we saw a huge boost in our daughter’s confidence, and countless times she showed an incredible empathy for others—often demonstrating care and kindness in ways we hadn’t even explicitly taught her. One of the highlights of ISP is the strong sense of community among the parents. Many parents, including myself, volunteer, which has been a truly rewarding experience. I found myself more involved in the school than I had initially anticipated, and it was fulfilling to build connections with other parents. Our daughter has made so many great friends, and my wife and I have also forged friendships with other parents. We look forward to continuing these relationships even after we leave ISP. Saying goodbye to ISP was emotional. While our daughter was excited and proud to graduate, she was sad to part ways with Ms Paola and Cathy, the director, who had been such an integral part of her journey. We wholeheartedly recommend ISP to anyone looking for a preschool where their child will be not only cared for and loved but also encouraged to grow in kindness and understanding.
