This is such an amazing little gem of a place! First, Nancy is one of the best human beings on the planet. Her vision, dedication and compassion with the kids is just something in and of itself. The teachers and staff are truly the most amazing people too. My daughter is always happy to go and is always engaged when I come to pick her up. Everything is extremely organized. I love that my daughter has the chance to engage in a lot of art projects. If you are looking for a preschool for your little one, this is truly it.

My son Finn has grown so much during his first year at First Class Preschool! He loves his teachers, he has developed great social skills and friendships and the art he brings home is amazing! I'm so grateful for Nancy Diehl and her team of talented caring teachers. We highly recommend First Class!

Our daughter went to First Class from age 3-5 and she loved it! She always came back from preschool excited about all the activities she did and what she learned. The art-based curriculum tapped into her creative nature, and we feel she is well prepared for kindergarten. Nancy does a great job running the school and is very responsive to any questions and concerns. All the teachers are kind, supportive and nurturing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our daughter and highly recommend First Class!

I can't say enough about this wonderful preschool. Nancy and the teachers are phenomenal. Our daughter has grown so much through her experience here. This is truly a community of amazing teachers, families and kids. The day to day activities are so engaging and educational and everyone at the school embraces each child and their individual needs. Beyond the classroom activities each day, our daughter had enrichment opportunities including yoga, wildlife, around the world, language, cooking, music and so much more. We can't wait to be back soon with our son! Thank you thank you for a great experience!!

Finding First Class was one of the best things to happen to our family. Our son had the best time, and we felt such relief and joy dropping him off every day, knowing what kind of school he was attending. Nancy and her staff are incredibly compassionate, kind, patient and loving and provide each student the opportunity to creatively learn and have fun and develop their own sense of self. Nancy continually provides students with new activities and guests to keep the students engaged and excited about school (ie, children's yoga instructor, firemen for career week, cooking, gardening, etc.). The additional programs and seasonal activities Nancy provides for families create a sense of community and belonging that go WAY above and beyond what other schools offer (ie, pumpkin carving party, Christmas and Spring programs, Mothers' Day Tea Party, etc.). Nancy and her staff will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we would hands-down recommend First Class to anyone!

We absolutely LOVE First Class Preschool. We moved from a larger preschool last fall and could not be more thrilled with our choice. Nancy and Kathi are absolutely amazing teachers. The personal attention is so amazing and really brings out the best in the kids. The kids are so loved and cherished and it really shows in how much they love school and look forward to going. Nancy and Kathi are so creative and always coming up with new and fun projects for the kids during school. They use an art-based curriculum which is basically that they teach a curriculum through art. So, if they are studying the fall harvest, they will study seeds and then make art using seeds, or make copies of seeds, or design their own seeds using the things they learned. They did a session about the ocean and the kids heard stories about the ocean, learned about different fish and animals in the ocean, then they made their own giant ocean on the wall with the kids' artwork. The kids have so much fun with the art and the creative play that they don't even know they are learning. But, my three-year-old is already writing most of her letters and I have never once worked with her on them. She also counts to 50 and, again, I've never tutored her. She has learned it all in school. So the kids are getting the ABCs and math, they just get them in a fun way instead of sitting at a desk doing it. The other thing I love about this school is the the kids are all mixed together and not separated by age. So, the younger kids learn from the older kids and the older kids learn by being the roll models for the younger kids. We have another child that will be coming into preschool soon and we aren't even bothering to look around. We absolutely love this school and these teachers!
