We are so grateful for the incredible work that Ms. Sandhya and Ms. Keiani have done with our son this year. They are compassionate, attentive, and highly skilled. They create a safe, nurturing, and structured learning environment. Under their guidance, our son has shown tremendous growth — academically, socially, and emotionally. His communication skills have improved, his curiosity has blossomed, and he has developed strong foundational skills that will serve him extremely well in kindergarten. Their dedication and genuine love for teaching are evident in everything they do. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and bring out the best in them. We are sincerely grateful for their involvement in our son’s development and kindergarten readiness. A BIG Thank You to them and to Stratford. Ms. Jasbir is leading a great school. Both of our children have enjoyed and excelled.

I am so grateful for Michelle and Cherryl who have been amazing teachers for my child at pre-k. These nice teachers bring such joy, patience and creativity to their lessons, making it a fun learning experience for the kids. Max has made remarkable progress in his language and social skills under their guidance. I highly recommend Michelle and Cherryl. They are truly one of a kind and make a positive impact on the children they teach.

My son went there for pre-k and summer camp before Kindergarten. He was very happy there from day 1. I have nothing negative to say about them. The teachers, front desk people and principals, even the security guy are very professional and friendly. Their curriculum is the best, academically advanced while maintaining good variety. Yes it's pricy, but it's worth it for us. Since my son won the lottery to go to our neighborhood elementary school (a very good one), he won't be going to Stratford for kindergarten. Had he not won the lottery, I'd have seriously considered continuing there.

It really pains me to write about a situation involving my son's experience at his FIRST school/childcare since the pandemic! My spouse and I have entrusted other adults to take care of our child, but we were basically forced to prematurely leave due to safety concerns. Our son woke us up on the morning of Wednesday 01/17/23 to tell us that his teacher, Sheetal Parekh, had pinched his ear because he wasn’t writing his name properly on his paper. Our son is only 3 years old and is literally learning how to properly hold a crayon and develop fine motor skills. In addition to not having the capacity to lie at his age, his memory is impeccable in retelling experiences and situations. The story remained consistent without any prompts, and he always pointed to the same ear (left) that his teacher had pinched. We met with the principal, Jasbir Rattan, and were told that it was surprising behavior and that in their 15 years of working together, there have been no complaints. However, parents of the other children in his class can corroborate that this is indeed false and were often met with condescending remarks and utter rudeness when expressing their own concerns, so we knew this claim of perfection to be false. As if this situation wasn't bad enough, they are still pursuing to charge us a 10% of the annual tuition early withdrawal fee despite the fact that we had withdrawn our son because of a very real concern for his safety - my son’s teacher put her hands on him! On top of physical abuse, his classmates and our son himself has told their parents / us that she would yell at him (for even something as simple as him putting his hands in glue - out of curiosity!!). I would NEVER recommend this school if you want to ensure the safety and well-being of your child; I would only hope that people would truly advocate for their children and not let a school's director bully them into paying MORE money out of coercion. They clearly only care about money over safety and concerns!
