We have had an absolutely fantastic experience with Salem Methodist Preschool over the past year. The teachers and administrators are incredibly supportive, communicative, and genuinely invested in every child's development. We've seen incredible growth in our kids' social and emotional milestones since they started. What we appreciate most is just how amazing the staff is with the children—they truly understand how to meet kids where they are, providing a patient, individualized, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. From the fun daily logistics and summer camp programs to community events like the school picnic or a foam party for the kids, Salem does an amazing job creating a warm, welcoming environment for families. We highly recommend Salem to any local family looking for a nurturing, top-tier preschool!
Will SetchellJul 5, 2026A great community that celebrates all learners. We love everything about Salem and what they stand for! The teachers provide a loving and safe environment that encourages personal growth and creativity! Would highly recommend!
Amberly KafaderJun 15, 2026We absolutely love Salem Methodist Preschool. From the very first day, it has felt like so much more than a school — it truly feels like family. There is something so special about the close-knit, loving community they’ve created. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and deeply caring. They know each child by name and make every family feel seen and valued. It brings me so much comfort knowing my boys are surrounded by people who genuinely love and nurture them each day. One thing I especially appreciate as a mom is the convenience of the red carpet drop-off in the morning. It makes busy mornings so much smoother and stress-free, and I know my boys are being welcomed with smiles as soon as they arrive. I am beyond grateful for the positive, joyful experiences my children have had there. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any family looking for a warm, supportive, and truly special place for their child.
Courtney CoonsMar 4, 2026Great program with great people. Dads and donuts next week! My 4 yr old daughter loves her time spent at Salem Methodist Preschool.
Charles BachmannMar 3, 2026My son started Salem in the fall of 2025 in the 2s program. We just ended the school year. In 6 months he has improved so much in his behavior, speech as well as motor skills. The wonderful and dedicated staff has worked extremely hard with him that he is now a changed person! We love Salem and highly recommend the preschool program!!!! ❤️
Aminah RashidFeb 10, 2026Salem is such a wonderful school with an incredibly caring and devoted staff. Every day, the kids are doing great art projects and enriching activities. I'm so happy we found this place. As a bonus, if your kid has a December birthday like mine, you can start the 2s preschool in January instead of waiting all the way to the next school year. Getting that early start really helped with her social development.
