Fifteen years ago, my son, who is autistic, attended this center (at the old location). Although his specific needs ultimately required a different level of care, the staff worked hard to accommodate us and were genuinely trying to help our son. We still remember and appreciate their efforts.
Astro NautJun 8, 2026Great staff!! It's abundantly clear that they care very much about the important work they do.
MattMay 7, 2026Our family has had a truly wonderful experience with the Spotted Zebra! The teachers and therapists go above and beyond what is expected in their roles, and we couldn't be happier. When our son began preschool two years ago, he was nonverbal due to childhood speech apraxia. Now, in pre-K, thanks to the incredible support from both therapists and teachers, he is confidently speaking in full sentences! His imagination is soaring, and his confidence is just beaming. We've seen amazing progress in his motor skills as well. The transformation in our son is absolutely incredible! He is always happy and full of delightful stories about his day at school. The teachers and therapists provide so much support to the entire family on this journey of your child's education. I am beyond grateful for ALL of their help and guidance. The owner, Sheri, shows a level of compassion and generosity that is truly unmatched. What an amazing start to our son's educational journey! I would highly recommend Spotted Zebra over and over again!
Shannon OakleyMay 8, 2025I student taught Spring of 2022 here and I have to say this place is amazing. Teachers are good and dedicated and Sherri and Matt are wonderful people. Thanks for everything.
Christian RoySep 13, 2023I am very disappointed in this facility. The director/owner Sheri makes uneducated comments about the children under her care. Even my daughters pediatrician said that she shouldn’t be giving medical advice. She brought up sending my daughter to a psych ward because she gets overstimulated and needs one-on-one care. She doesn’t have the training or certifications to do so. Her “medical advice” is a danger to the children in her care. I was even advised by the pediatrician to remove my daughter from her school due to her inappropriate comments. I would never say a word against the teachers though as they are very well educated/trained and always so kind to my child but their owner/director is a detriment to the company.
Carrie Van KurenAug 14, 2022In love with this pre-school and the staff.
