  • Wonderful place, absolutely recommend to anyone! Our twins were lovingly cared for here for 3 years, all the staff are genuinely excited to help children grow and explore. It was wonderful to see our kids develop their creativity and social skills, and it’s good to know that they are well prepared to start kindergarten!

  • My oldest daughter started at Christina Kent in 2022 at the age of 2 and was there for 3 years. Our experience was nothing short of a dream. Her teachers were amazing and constantly communicated with us. I appreciated that there were parent teacher conferences from the start and they clearly cared about my child. I loved that there is as much family involvement with the school and activities as you could desire, including after school nights, special family and holiday days, and family lunches. The food is amazing and I wish they did adult to go meals. It’s all farm to table fresh and gives a wide variety to explore new tastes for young palates. Water days were a huge hit and I love all of the field trips even the young kids get to take (pumpkin patch, groove art space, fire station, civic plaza, zoo, and more!). I was so excited when they opened the infant and toddler classrooms in 2025 and I was able to start my younger daughter at the school. She’s been in the 1yo class since the start and I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences there as well including open and frequent communication, introduction to many different experiences, foods, and learning experiences, and a huge sense of community. Christina Kent has played a large role in our family’s life and I can’t imagine daycare and preschool without it. The administration is open, honest, and available and I love that the know every child and parent. I can’t say enough good things about Christina Kent.

  • This preschool has been the best thing for my twins! As a single mom who works full-time, knowing that I am leaving my children in a nurturing, imaginative, safe environment has given me so much peace the last few years. The staff are kind and caring, the learning approach is creative and child-oriented, and together they foster genuine curiosity about the world. Each child is seen and encouraged in their individual strengths and growth areas. My children and I LOVE Christina Kent!

  • Christina Kent quite literally changed our families lives by providing a safe and inclusive space for our children to go to Early Pre-K. The administrative team always communicated with us and made us feel like part of the community and integrated into the school. The teachers made our children feel special and seen on a daily basis, with an emphasis on art and exploring the world around them. Our daughter was prepared for starting K and Allison and the rest of the Admin team, went above and beyond to prep us for the transition to K. We hope to always stay involved with Christina Kent and will always appreciate our time with Christina Kent and all of the families we were lucky enough to spend time with there.

  • My son is non verbal and is diagnosed with autism, I was initially nervous about how he would be understood and included. But from day one, the staff showed patience, compassion, and a genuine willingness to learn what works best for him. They took the time to understand his needs, his communication style, and what makes him feel safe and happy. Because of that, he has been able to thrive in an environment where he feels accepted and valued. The teachers and staff consistently go above and beyond to create a nurturing, structured, and inclusive space where every child, especially mine is treated with kindness and respect. I have watched my child build confidence, develop social skills, and try new foods! All thanks to the dedication of this incredible team. I cannot recommend this school enough!

  • ⸻ I enrolled my son at Christina Kent Early Childhood Learning Center feeling genuinely excited and hopeful. During my interview with Andrea, she described a school that valued inclusiveness, safety, and strong supervision. Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect those promises. Over the course of our time there, there were multiple serious issues. My son was physically injured by another child and sustained a head injury that deeply concerned me. When I requested that they call an ambulance so he could be properly evaluated, my concerns were not taken seriously. I felt dismissed rather than supported as a parent advocating for my child’s safety. There were also ongoing supervision concerns. I personally reviewed footage that raised additional questions about how situations were being handled. Instead of transparency and accountability, I felt that incidents were minimized, downplayed, and in some cases misrepresented. At one point, I was presented with paperwork that did not accurately reflect what occurred and felt pressured to sign it. After raising concerns following multiple incidents, the school chose to remove my child, despite the fact that I had already submitted notice to dis enroll him and he only had one week remaining. The handling of that situation felt retaliatory rather than child-focused. They treated my child like he did something wrong when I seen it for myself. As a parent, safety, honesty, and communication are non-negotiable. Sadly, that was not our experience here. I cannot recommend this school to other families who are looking for a safe, well-supervised, and transparent learning environment for their children.
