  • When we moved last year, we were heartbroken to leave behind a preschool that truly felt like family. We honestly never thought we’d be lucky enough to find another preschool that we loved as much, SOELA has exceeded every expectation. Our preschooler has absolutely thrived here, and we are so grateful for the love, care, and support he receives every day. Ms. Vicki and Ms. Ashley are incredibly kind, nurturing, and dedicated teachers who genuinely care about their students. Their warmth and patience make such a difference, and it’s clear they love what they do. Choosing SOELA has been one of the best decisions for our family, and we would choose them over and over again. We can’t recommend this school enough!

  • This school is magical, and I can't say enough good things about it. The owner, Misela, pours everything she has into SOELA, and it shows. The indoor and outdoor classrooms are Pinterest-worthy, but in the most wholesome way ever because it's all for the kids. She's always getting new and different toys and materials for the children to enjoy and learn with, and has created a space where our children literally don't want to leave at the end of the day! The classrooms are led by career teachers and caretakers who are engaged, patient, loving and creative. One of my favorite things about the school is the child-led approach — when the kids become interested in something, the teachers lean into it and adapt their lessons around what the children are curious about. This school is unlike anything else in the area, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to send our children here. If Misela ever opened a grade school, we would stay forever!

  • We couldn’t be happier with SOELA! From the moment we enrolled, it was clear how exceptional the teachers are—caring, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. The director, Misela, is absolutely wonderful and sets the tone for a warm, supportive, and enriching environment. What really stands out is their commitment to the Reggio Emilia approach, which encourages creativity, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. We’ve seen our kids thrive in ways we never imagined—socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Every day, we feel confident knowing our children are not only safe, but deeply nurtured and loved. It gives us such peace of mind as parents. We truly wouldn’t want them anywhere else and are so grateful to be part of this amazing community.

  • We cannot say enough great things about SOELA! Both of our children, a toddler and an infant, attend and we have been beyond impressed since day one. The teachers and staff are caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child. The facility is incredibly clean, organized, and the safety of our children is never questioned. We also love that there’s such an emphasis on outdoor play! They have been incredibly accommodating and welcoming to therapists who visit our son, which has meant so much to our family. Communication is excellent and the app they use for daily updates, photos, meals, and naps is amazing and gives us peace of mind every day. We trust this team completely and feel so grateful to be part of this community. Highly recommend! 11 out of 10!!!

  • Seeds of Learning Academy at has been absolutely incredible for our family. From the very beginning, they have been amazing to work with—professional, warm, and genuinely invested in each child’s success. The owner is truly outstanding and goes above and beyond to create a nurturing, supportive environment for both the children and the parents. Our son has been thriving since attending, both academically and socially. The level of care, attention, and individualized accommodation they provide is unmatched compared to other preschools we’ve experienced. It’s clear that this is not just a school, but a community that truly cares. We are so grateful to have found Seeds of Learning Academy and highly recommend it to any family looking for an exceptional preschool experience.

  • SOELA is top notch - an awesome place for my daughter to learn and grow. It has met all of our expectations - and the teachers (all of them!) continue to positively impact the kids in ways I as a father cannot! Shoutout to Misela for creating such a wonderful learning environment - a truly dedicated professional. Would recommend to anyone looking for early learning education.
