It's hard to accurately put into words the gratitude and love I and my family have for organic garden preschool. We moved to AZ a year ago away from all our family and everything our little boy knew.
When we found organic garden preschool Tracy took our hands and guided us through some rough adjusting patches. She never lost patience with my son (nor his crazy mom [me????]) and she went FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our child knew he has people who love him in AZ just as much as home. Communication has always been consistent and I often get videos of my child playing.
He's made friends, learned proper social skills, and knows he has a safe space to explore the world as he wishes (mostly. He's a bit wild). They handle my sons engery well and he has BLOOMED since starting last year. I am happy to send my son here daily and he LOVES going. I would happily recommend Organic garden preschool to anyone and everyone.
