Better than any experience I could have hoped for. Our family has loved their time with the warm, thoughtful, and dedicated team at Kensington.
John KirbyJun 5, 2026We could not recommend Kensington enough! The entire staff is professional, loving and kind. The exceptional teachers help us feel at peace in leaving our two little kids while we work during the day.
Jackie LanduytApr 27, 2026We have been at a handful of schools over the years, and Kensington stands out by a long shot!!! There is a warmth here you cannot fake. The kind you feel the second you step inside. Miss Daisy and Ms. Christina have loved our kids like their own. They know them. Really know them. Their quirks, their moods, what makes them laugh, what they need on a hard day. Watching our children run into their arms in the morning has been comforting. Kensington is not just a school to us. It is family. Our kids are safe here, seen here, and genuinely cherished here. If you are looking for a place that will love your babies the way you do, this is it. We are sad to be transitioning into public school, but we will always think back on our time at Kensington with so much love. We are forever grateful. 🩷
R ReelApr 22, 2026We've had a fantastic experience as a Kensington family for over 7 years, with all three of our kids attending from infants through transitional kindergarten. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of the school's leadership, both at the corporate level and the AH location specifically. We've loved how well informed we are about what's happening at school and appreciate that the teachers are well vetted and receive a lot of continuing training/promotion opportunities. I'm conscious that it's not the cheapest childcare option available, but for our family, the peace of mind and trust that Kensington gave us have been more than worth the cost year over year.
Meghan MichaelsApr 21, 2026We’ve had an incredible experience with Kensington Nursery School over the past several years. Both of my children started there at just 6 and 9 months old, and we’ve been part of the community since they first opened in 2019. As we approach the end of our preschool era—with my youngest finishing up this summer—I can confidently say this school has been such a meaningful part of our family’s journey. My kids truly thrived here. They were not only well cared for, but genuinely nurtured in a way that supported both their emotional and academic growth. The foundation they built at Kensington has made a lasting impact. My oldest, now in 1st grade in public school, is in math enrichment, reading chapter books, and confidently writing full sentences and paragraphs—something I credit in large part to the strong early education she received. Beyond the classroom, the sense of community is something really special. The environment is warm, welcoming, and filled with wonderful families. We’ve formed friendships here that will last well beyond these preschool years. We’re so grateful for our time at Kensington and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a place where their children will be cared for, supported, and set up for success.
