We can’t say enough positive things about our experience at 5 senses with our two kids. We found them when looking for childcare with flexible hours/days and we couldn’t be more blown away about how much this preschool has to offer. We are so lucky to have found a school with such amazing teachers, a beautiful outdoor space, an abundance of learning materials indoors and an enriching curriculum. It’s been one year enrolled and we are looking forward to the next several until our kids move on to kindergarten.

5 Senses amazes me. I have two kids attending, and they've been transformed into active, curious, and thoughtful children. Prior to joining, they were at a large commercial facility, and the big concern was that the 3yr old was becoming too sedentary and unsociable. It took one summer session at 5 Senses to completely reverse that trend, and the progress continues over one year in. I recently told the teachers coming to 5 Senses was far and away the best decision we made in 2024. The teachers are so engaged, and the kids adore them because of it. I couldn't recommend them more, and I feel incredibly lucky to have their influence on the ones I care most about. Job well done 5 Senses, keep it up!

Transferring our toddler and preschool sons from a chain daycare to Five Senses is one of the best decisions we ever made! It took them zero time to adapt because the environment and teachers were so welcoming and FUN. I am delighted to see our children learning LIFE SKILLS, leaning into their curiousity, and being challenged physically and socially in addition to academically. I love that this is achieved through a primarily play-based program because that is how children at this age effectively learn. The teachers and directors at Five Senses are passionate and amazing at what they do, which is supporting young children to develop into whole, healthy human beings. Hands down, this school is incredible.

I cannot say enough about what a great school 5 Senses is! I have only positive things to say. I work for Early Intervention and have had the pleasure of visiting the daycare regularly. I have visited many daycares in the area over the years and this one is by far the best! I have observed the teachers to be kind, loving and very attentive to each and every child. They know how to foster the children's independence and it is so impressive to see what the kids can do without any adult help. I really like the hands-on learning approach that 5 Senses has. I have visited at different times of the day and they have always been welcoming whenever I show up. I highly recommend this school for any family who is looking for a rich experience for their developing child.

5 Senses was recommended to us by a family daycare we had our son attending when he was a toddler. My son was 3 when he started at 5 Senses in 2021. He is now 5 and is so well prepared going into Kindergarten this fall. Ms. Joanie and the teachers working with her have such amazing talent working with little kids. What I love about 5 Senses is the safe environment provided, communication, playing outside year round, the teaching of the kids to be self sufficient (put on own jacket, put on own shoes, open/ close snack & lunch containers, etc), help kids to socialize with each other and so many other things. I had researched other preschools in the area but I found 5 Senses to be the most flexible for the days and hours that I needed for childcare. I can’t say enough great things about our experience there!
