“10 out of 10! My son attends amerischools and when I found out they offered preschool through Capstone I was ecstatic! Not only am I able to have my children in the same place, they absolutely love it! It's a small school but I wouldn't have it any other way. Ms. Lizette is phenomenal! My daughter is excited to go to school which is such a great feeling! They are always doing projects, the room is always clean and it has more of a classroom feel as opposed to a daycare setting. Every morning the children do circle time and my daughter has been learning bits of Spanish.”
“My daughter goes to Capstone Pre-K and she absolutely loves it, I love it as well!! The staff is amazing, they take their time to get to know you and your child on a personal level they are just outstanding! My daughter loves going to school she loves her teacher, best choice I've made for her!!”
“As a previous preschool and pre-k teacher, I have high expectations as to where my son attends school. I have been overjoyed with him being in Capstone Quest and their pre-k program. Not only does his teacher genuinely care about each child in her care, but the amount of teaching she accomplishes on a daily basis is amazing. My son comes home with new vocabulary, songs, works on letters and his name every day at school, and also participates in STEM related activities which can be so vital to their learning process as young children. I would highly recommend this pre-k to any and everyone I know, as I have seen my son’s growth over his time here and know it is a direct reflection on his teacher and the administration within the school.”
