St. Andrews by the Sea has been an absolutely wonderful experience for both of my daughters! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by warm, caring professionals who truly put the children first. The staff create a nurturing, supportive environment where kids feel safe, happy, and encouraged to explore and learn. My girls have thrived here, not just academically, but socially and emotionally. The team communicates regularly with parents, keeping us informed and engaged, which makes all the difference. I can’t recommend St. Andrews by the Sea enough for families looking for a childcare program that combines professionalism, heart, and genuine love for children. Every visit leaves me feeling confident that my daughters are in the best hands possible.

I cannot recommend St. Andrews by the Sea Preschool highly enough! From the moment we enrolled our child 3 years ago, we’ve been continuously impressed by the level of care, professionalism, and dedication from the entire staff. The teachers are not only skilled and knowledgeable but truly passionate about fostering a nurturing and engaging environment for each child. They take the time to understand the unique needs and learning styles of every child, helping them thrive both academically and emotionally. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, balancing structured learning with creative play, which allows children to explore and develop at their own pace. The classroom environment is warm, safe, and filled with opportunities for hands-on learning. My child looks forward to attending every day, and we’ve seen incredible growth in their social, emotional, and cognitive skills since starting. Communication with parents is excellent—regular updates and pictures ensure that we’re always informed and involved in our child’s progress. The administration is also incredibly responsive and supportive, making the entire experience seamless. They accept the Military Child Care In Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) child subsidy for those active duty military members who would like some financial help in covering a portion of the monthly tuition. Overall, St. Andrews by the Sea Preschool has exceeded all expectations, and we are so grateful to have found a place where our child is not only learning but truly happy. I wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a top-tier early childhood education experience!

I can't say enough wonderful things about St. Andrews by the Sea Preschool! Our daughter started as a 2.5 year old in July 2022. She was immediately welcomed with open arms by her teachers as well as the director, Ms. Heather and asst director, Ms. Erin. Everyone at the school is very communicative (we use the Brightwheel app and get daily pictures and messages) and I've never had any doubts about whether or not my daughter is in the right place. Ms. Daniela is an angel on earth (she has been our main teacher) and all other staff I've interacted with are so professional, warm and loving. I love this school so much and look forward to sending my youngest once she turns two. If you are looking for a preschool that has the right mix of play as well as no-pressure academic skills, this is the place!
