We have had such an incredible experience with Teaching World. They take amazing care of all their students. We’ve experienced the Shooting Stars and Mini Martians classrooms and all the teachers are so dedicated and caring. The daily communication is top notch, especially for a first time momma who was a little sad about going back to work. We’ve adjusted our schedule a few times with no issues, and the drop-in days have been a lifesaver!Posted on Google![]()

Our daughter has gone to teaching world since she was 6 months old. She loves going there, and we love them. She has got to learn so many amazing things while being there, and we have met so many great teachers! It has been about 3 years now and we are so happy she can continue and do preschool for the next two years with them. We know when we send her to school that she is well taken care of, and each day she comes home and tells us of at least one thing she has learned each day. I can’t say enough awesome things about Kim and her team, they are so easy to work with, and really care about all of the kids. We will recommend teaching world to anyone we can. If you live in the area you should definitely send your child, choosing them as our daycare was one of the best decisions we have made as parents.Posted on Google![]()

We have been at Teaching World for almost 3 years and love it! My daughter attended preschool, pre-k and kindergarten here in addition to the daycare and summer camps. The staff and teachers are very friendly, welcoming and personable. The communication is also great. We love getting all the updates and pictures throughout the day with the brightwheel app. My kids look forward to going everyday. I would recommend to anyone looking for childcare.
