We have sent two children to Chickpeas and recommend it 100% to everyone we know. The teachers are caring, patient, creative and dedicated to helping children learn and grow and become good people who can function in the world. It's a wonderful place.
This is our second year at Chickpeas. Chickpeas is a preschool with a mix of 3 and 4 year olds (UPK for the 4 year olds). Sending my son to Chickpeas, without a doubt, has been one of the best decision I've made as a parent so far. It's the most warm, loving, fun environment. My son has always had issues with separation anxiety at previous daycares, but after a couple of months at Chickpeas he was pushing me out the door, because he was so excited to start his day there. The teachers are amazing - kind, funny, attentive, loving and just so enthusiastic about teaching all our little ones. The school and the community are wonderful, but the teachers are really what make the school so special. Just last week my son was out sick and we got the most lovely message from the teachers calling to say they hope he felt better, and passed the phone around to the entire class, so he got a special get well message from each and every one of his classmates. Chickpeas really is a special place. I feel so lucky that I get to send my son there everyday.
