  • POTS is an amazing preschool! We cannot say enough good things about our experience. The staff is incredibly kind, caring, and knowledgeable. They truly become like family! They nurture and care for each child as an individual, investing in their future academically, emotionally, and spiritually. The education provided is faith-based and play-based, helping the children grow in all aspects of their lives. They prepare the children academically for kindergarten and school years beyond, but also recognize the importance of play, friendships, and faith. The children attend chapel weekly. Several field trips are offered yearly. Overall communication with parents is clear, consistent, and plentiful. We are so blessed to have POTS on our community. Would highly recommend!

  • Preschool on the Square is such a gift to our community! The staff is phenomenal, they truly invest in each child (family) and are constantly coming up with creative ways to engage the children. They offer amazing enrichment opportunities: field trips to the post office & local farm, class visits from dentists, nurses, pilots, etc. We are so grateful for this faith-based, play-based preschool. If you’re looking for a preschool home, we highly recommend touring POTS!

  • Our girls all got to experience the warmth and love of the teachers at Preschool On The Square. We were so thankful for the education they received that totally prepared them for kindergarten. They were ready academically and socially. POTS is the village everyone needs. Our children were well taken care of and we felt support as parents we didn’t even know we desperately needed.

  • We absolutely love Preschool on the Square! All of the staff is caring, patient, and truly invested in the students. Our children always come home excited to talk about their day, the fun activities they did, and what they’ve learned. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing they’re in a safe and supportive environment. We’re so grateful to have found them and highly recommend it to other families!
