We sent three of our daughters to St. Matthews and I would highly recommend this school to anyone thinking of a safe, well-thought-out early education experience for their children. This school prepares your child with a solid academic foundation in reading and science as well as introduces the children to a beautiful music program. The opportunity for creative learning experiences was fabulous. Children leaving this school are prepared to go to any area school.

This school is great. I sent my two girls there for three years and was very pleased with their entire stay at St. Matthews. The staff is very child friendly, the leadership is very knowledgeable about early childhood education. The staff works very hard at making learning fun, safe and academically appropriate for the grade level. The teachers approach each child as an individual and ensures your child is developing sociably, emotionally and academically. The children have a well rounded program built in to their week. There is science, music, art, PE and Spanish that the children attend throughout the week. This is a great foundation for preschool through kindergarten education program.
