About the Provider

Description: Green House Preschool and Kindergarten, Inc. is committed to enriching the lives of young children while expanding their minds. It is the school’s mission to develop the “whole child” – one who, in mind and body, flourishes through positive experience around himself/herself as provided by a staff of trained and nurturing caretakers.

Our philosophy for the education of young children is one that takes into account the child’s individuality. Our goal is simple: to instill in each child a love for learning as well as for themselves. We provide a safe, loving and creative environment in which they can express themselves and learn through their play experience. Our faculty works hard to make sure that each child is able to grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually without pressure or frustration.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING!!!!! THEY TOOK $1500!!! On March, I registered my child 2019-20 school year. Two months before school starts, I called the school to withdraw my child from school due to relocation on my job. I am unable to send my child to school because we need to move. I called to withdraw my child and asked for refund on DEPOSIT ONLY and the owner denied my request. On the day of the registration, owner verbally advise us that the refund cannot be issue ONCE the school starts but now she is telling me no refund will be issued. The School has not even started, they start on September. They have two months before school starts and this place just took $1500. I understand for not receiving registration fee but they should refund the deposit. This place is ridiculous and full of LIES If you need to register your child to this ridiculous place, DO NOT REGISTER EARLY. They lie that they have limited space but they always have space even during school year. This place is ridiculous and FULL of LIES!!!!!
