I cannot say enough good things about With Our Own Two Hands Preschool. My son has been there almost two years now, and I have watched him blossom under the care of the amazing teachers there. The programming is incredible and diverse, with special focus on being a good friend and caring for the planet. I love that the kids are exposed to yoga and meditation especially. My son has tons of fun at preschool and I rest easy knowing that he’s in the best of hands.

My two oldest kids went to With Our Own Two Hands and had a wonderful experience. My youngest is currently attending there. He wakes up every morning asking; “how much longer until we go to school”. He loves it there. They have an incredible and thoughtful program; perfect for curious, playful minds. The teachers are caring and engaged in your child’s preschool experience. I could not say enough wonderful things about this preschool and highly recommend parents come check this place out.

We live far from the preschool but it well worth the drive knowing that our daughter is happy and comfortable being on her own there. My daughter who is usually shy has become more social with the support of all the great teachers and has met many new friends. Each time I go pick her up after school she doesn’t want to go home yet and wants to stay a bit longer. I don’t have to worry knowing that she is in good hands and she’s with a bunch of great kids.

We have had one child graduate and our second who has just begun and we love With Our Own Two Hands! We love the quantity of outdoor play and exploration as well as the guided learning towards academics. The children are immersed in art and nature and even practice yoga. It is a wonderfully well rounded curriculum. The creator of the preschool, the director and all of the teachers are caring and attentive and work well with the children. We highly recommend. We’ve made many friends, parents and kids, and hope to still be in the area so that our third child might go through the program as well.
