I went to tour the school, the school is really nice, classrooms spacious and the yard is great. My child is very attached to me and didnt want to be there for the tour. The director Setareh was very business like my child was "$" in her eyes, seemed that way to me and saw how attracted he was and decided my child would be better off in another pre school, because he wouldnt be an easy toddler to drop off so just doesnt want to deal with it( that was discussed during email hours later) . After the tour i definitely knew i didnt want to enroll my child there. I also met Francisco, he was a very nice person and holy family is lucky to have him. It was just too business like in my opinion for a preschool, you want a child to feel welcomed and not just see them as "$". I wouldnt recommend any of my family or friends for a tour there. Thankfully we found a school that i actually toured before holy family and that is where my child will be going, they saw him just like holy family did, very attached to me and they were very caring towards him even during the tour.

This school is a hidden rare gem!! It is a model for how each school should be. My child had the wonderful opportunity to attend this preschool and she remembers and misses it to this day (she's 9 now).The staff are amazing! I mean from the moment you walk in the doors; the receptionist, the teachers, even the directors are all so supportive, kind, compassionate, caring and most importantly they are truly sincere. It is just the type of place you feel confident leaving your children in a very safe security gated environment where not just any sicko can walk in or linger around the premises. They have a very good system set up to make sure your children are safe. Don't get me wrong I don't mean to make it appear as a prison I'm just highlighting that safety is one that is taken seriously, which I highly appreciate especially since many schools don't go the extra mile. Most of the time I see other schools with gates wide open at all times and anyone can come on to the property and youd never know. HFDH is a private school and worth every penny, definitely money well invested for your child to have quality education and a positive nurturing and memorable experience. I could go on and on about so many other great reasons and so many other supportive services etc so instead I suggest you take a tour and see for yourself!

New director and assistant director are shady and terrible, they care more about money and publicity for the school then they do for the actual kids. Cross contamination by admin, no regard for regulations or procedures, school has bugs and grime everywhere. They recently had an outbreak of COVID-19 in their kitchen and cleaning staff and lied, telling parents and staff it was in the maintenance crew or that they hadn't even been back to work yet. Director and assistant director cut many corners with no care for the health or safety of the children in their care, just whats easiest and quicker for themselves. 3 licensing violations since January, yet they continue to intimidate staff into silence in fear of their jobs and sweep everything under the rug. With over a hundred years of an amazing and honorable reputation, HFDH has gone downhill drastically. You would be better off sending your children literally anywhere but here.

I'm 46 yrs old and I went to Holy Family when I was little and all I have are fond childhood memories of this place. I made my very first best friend here, went to St. Anthony's together and to this day we are still friends as well as with many others. Holy Family really made a positive impact in my life and I am truly greatful.

This is an amazing institution that's been around for over 100 years. I went here for preschool, now my daughter is attending! I highly recommend HFDH...but make sure to get on the waitlist!!!
