Recent parent reviews
My grandson is in his third year at Carousel and we are extremely happy with it. The owner and staff are wonderful people and we are excited for another great summer
Ryan AlverezJun 27, 2018My two daughters have attended carousel school from when they were 2 yr old to 5 yr old, therefore, Carousel team has become an extended family for me for last 5 years. From Principal, to teachers to bus drivers, everyone is pleasant, very positive and helpful. Education and activity schedules have prepared my kids well for Kindergarten/1st grade. Photo shares and communication are tremendous help for working parents like me.
Harpreet MatharuJun 15, 2018My daughter has so much fun... I highly recommend it
Paul BodycombMay 5, 2018I attended Carousel in 1959-60, back when it was called a nursery school. I rode there on a little yellow bus. There were two big old 40’s cars with the doors removed in the yard for us to play in. We learned songs accompanied by a piano-playing teacher and painted while wearing one of our fathers’ old dress shirts buttoned on backward. I have the fondest of memories and, given that Carousel’s still there 58 years later, I can only assume that my fondness has been shared by countless other alumni.
