We have sent our daughter through Thunderbird and son is currently a SuperTot and absolutely LOVE Thunderbird! It has been such a special place for our family. The teachers and Mrs. Young are incredibly kind and truly care about the kids. From the very beginning, we felt like our children were known and loved there like family. It is such a warm, supportive environment. It’s been amazing to see our children grow in confidence, build friendships, and watch them grow and learn. We feel really lucky to be part of the Thunderbird family!
DV SzorcMar 5, 2026We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Thunderbird. From day one, the teachers have created such a warm, nurturing, and structured environment that truly helps kids grow both academically and socially. Our daughters have gained so much confidence, independence, and excitement for learning. The staff genuinely care about each child, communicate consistently with parents, and go above and beyond to make every day special. It’s clear that they pour their hearts into what they do. Highly recommend to any family looking for a loving and engaging preschool experience! 💛
Andrew KleinFeb 26, 2026We feel so grateful to have found this preschool. The teachers genuinely care about the children and create a warm and encouraging environment. Our child has become more independent and happy since starting here. Thank you for everything!
Jill ZhangFeb 22, 2026Thunderbird is such a magical little preschool! The care and love all of the staff show the kids is top notch. My first child attended for three years before graduating and my second child is in his second year at Thunderbird. They both love/loved it and their development has thrived under the care of their devoted and loving teachers. Highly recommend!
Riley MacDonaldFeb 20, 2026We loved this school so much that both my kids went there. We're really impressed with the school's commitment to academic excellence and extracurricular opportunities. The teachers are passionate and supportive, and we've seen growth in our child's confidence and skills. One area for improvement could be communication - it would be great to get more regular updates on progress and events. Overall, we're happy with our decision and look forward to continuing this journey 😊.
Yarina TuladharFeb 20, 2026We can't rave enough about Thunderbird! This is our 5th and final year at this school. My son went for 2 years and my daughter is on her 3rd year. From the first time we went to the school for a tour with Mrs. Young, I knew this is the place I wanted my kids to go. All the staff is so caring and welcoming and truly love these kids. I am honestly sad to leave but 100% over and over I would recommend!
