We had our eldest daughter, Abigail, go to Bethel for four years and absolutely fell in love with the place. It really feels like one big family! She has grown so much from her experience at Bethel and is now excelling in her Kindergarten class. We were so thrilled with the faculty and the nurturing environment at Bethel, that we enrolled our youngest daughter, Micky, into the infant program there as well. Its not easy entrusting others with the safety, well-being, and care of your precious little ones, but Bethel excels at it. My wife and I can go off to work to face the world each day with the knowledge that our babies are in safe hands in a fabulous learning environment. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!
We have been attending Bethel Preschool since our oldest daughter was 11 1/2 months. She spent a few months in the then-new Inch Worm class and is now a Friendly Firefly. Our youngest started as an Inch Worm at 4 months, and he is now a 17-mo Teenzy Turtle. Bethel is our home and I cannot imagine having a better place for our children.
Both of our children attend Bethel. Our oldest had attended two other local preschools prior to Bethel, and we feel there is no comparison. Bethel has the BEST teachers! It is a church-affiliated school, and because we don't belong to a church, or consider ourselves 'religious', that was the only apprehension we had. They attend chapel once a week, and listen to Pastor Rustin, who is amazing. We are very appreciative of the 'religion' that our children are receiving. They learn about being good, caring people. They learn the stories of God & Jesus, and we've never felt it was 'too much'. We love the teachers, we love Pastor Rustin, we love the other children and parents we have met. It is truly a community!
So far so good! I started my baby at this Daycare and the director, Ashlieh and all the staff have been a dream for a new Mom. On my baby’s first day she didn’t miss us. It put me at ease that when I picked her up she was happily playing with one of the caretakers, Marina- who is also a very cool person. My daughter also fed well (I was worried about the bottle but they handled it). Some of the staff are bilingual too (Spanish) which is a plus. I’m so grateful for this Daycare. For reference: My baby is 4 months old.
My son attended from 2009 - 2012. I LOVED THE STAFF. They made his experience so full and complete with love and tenderness. Hoping to send my 3 year old this year. Teacher Debbie was the absolute best.
