Bonaventure Academy is nothing short of phenomenal! The teachers & director are truly co-parents—they care. They love my children as their own. They are patient, kind, warm, helpful, and completely amazing. The curriculum is what drew us to choose Bonaventure. A holistic, inclusive learning and loving environment with open arms. My children are thriving there! The teachers have longevity for a reason, and the director is supportive, knowledgeable, positive, and encouraging. Their enthusiasm for their work shines through. You can hear their smiles when they answer the phone, which was a lovely first impression! They are all shining stars! We love Bonaventure!! 5 stars is just not enough!

Bonaventure Academy is an absolutely amazing place! From the moment I called and inquired about sending my twins here, I knew I was making the right choice. Kim was there for me from the start, texting and calling me with updates like we were family. The teachers in the sophomore and junior room have been like friends I can trust. My boys come home happy, and tell their tales of the day, with a smile on their face. Chloe and Mindy are always there with a smiling face or a reassuring few words on the roughest of mornings. I appreciate all of the moments we have had here thus far, and can never thank them enough for everything they do each day to keep my kiddos safe and happy!!!

Bonaventure academy and it’s teachers have perfected the skills of making this place be a “home away from home” for my kids while nurturing them with kind & essential life skills. They help & encourage your child to take their next steps in life whether it be potty training (which Melissa & Marisol help make an easy transition), learning to write their names or even start reading books on their own (Ms Liz & Ms Becca!!). They do so much personal & academic prep work with the kids before going to Kindergarten that my eldest was bored that first year in elementary school. And the added little bonuses when you pick up your kids at the end of the day, is seeing lots of new artwork/projects or your kids hair having been styled as if they had gone to a salon (shout out to Ms Tora & Ms Chloe for this special type of patience) but most importantly being greeted with happy smiles from my kid who thoroughly enjoyed her day there. The curriculum is amazing & they teach it well even giving the parents a weekly report of the classroom agenda. It’s exciting hearing your child talk about what they learned at daycare and The Director makes teachers, kids and parents feel like they are all one big happy family and we are delighted that we found this family to help us raise our kids.

This place is amazing. Both of my kids have gone here. Staff is great and very friendly. They care for your kids as of they were there own. Many off the staff have worked there for years. They keep the kids busy doing educational activities and really work hard at getting the kids ready to go into kindergarten. My kids come home with new artwork almost everyday!! My kids wanted to go to school and always come home happy. We love this place and will be sad when our youngest graduates.

Avoid this place, the staff yells at kids as young as 2 as if they are in a boot camp. Very inappropriate discussion among staff members regarding a special needs child smell in her private areas. Altogether unprofessional management and staff.
