I have two children enrolled at Park View, both started in the infant rooms. The older one is now in Preschool and the younger one is in Toddler. We couldn't be happier with the care provided to our children. All the teachers have been amazing and very caring. My 4yo can already read fluently and he is doing some math work all by himself. I am so very happy we chose Park View for our children.

Wonderful learning environment for all ages- my daughter has been in the program since she was an infant and is now in Preschool. All her teachers throughout her years have been extraordinary! I am grateful to be able to give her a jump start to her education with the Montessori Method of Education- also very different from traditional care, which is where we originally were. We are so happy with our choice in Park View and look forward to the years to come- we strongly recommend the school for those looking for a program that is hands on along with a rich academic curricula.
