What Parents Say
Alphabet Aquarium receives consistently high praise from parents for its warm, caring staff and engaging curriculum that prepares children well for kindergarten. Parents appreciate the educational programs, facility amenities, and strong communication through daily photo updates.
My daughter is about to graduate from alphabet academy & I only have good things to say. From beginning to end (she’s been there since she was about 2 1/2 and she’s 5 now) the teachers and staff have been so great. They make it a fun safe place for the kids, are always coming up with new ideas for activities and events, and have 100% gotten my girl ready for kindergarten. The BP read with me program has been amazing. My daughter is reading almost at a second grade level - is learning to write, and has made awesome friends. If I have ever had a concern (which has been rare) it’s been addressed right away - definitely going to miss her being at alphabet - and I am forever grateful for everything that they’ve done for my daughter!
My son has had the best experience at Alphabet Aquarium. Each teacher is warm and kind and makes all the kids feel welcome. The curriculum is wonderful and he loves telling us what he has learned/experienced every day. The center has developed a community feeling among the neighborhood, students, and parents. Highly recommend!
My daughter has been at Alphabet Aquarium since 2022 and it has been truly the best experience. The staff are all wonderful, kind, caring people . She’s learned so much and made so many friends. They update you on everything on the app, send lots of photos. The tuition is reasonable. They have a cooking class and a reading program and she’s in both. She’s an amazing reader at 4. She’s learning simple cooking skills, they send her home with the food she made. Sometimes they include the recipe and we can make them together at home. This place is so great!
Our daughter graduated from Alphabet Aquarium with a real head start in kindergarten, and some of her friends from daycare moved up with her, making the transition smoother since she already had familiar faces around. The professional and caring staff created a safe, welcoming environment, helping her grow with confidence. The facility is clean, with a huge upstairs area and a rooftop play space she loved. They also keep parents connected by sending daily photos of activities through their online portal, which we really appreciated. During COVID-19, they implemented strong safety protocols, allowing children to stay healthy and engaged. We highly recommend Alphabet Aquarium to any parent looking for a dependable, supportive daycare.
We LOVE Alphabet Aquarium! My 3 year old son knows more words, letters, numbers, songs, etc. than I ever thought was possible at his age. The building itself is so fun and kid-friendly with a roofdeck, library and so many other spaces to play and learn. The teachers are so sweet and make learning fun. My son truly looks forward to school everyday!
