Testimonials

Our preschool experience this year was just phenomenal…nothing could come even close to what our boys had this year at Small World if we were still in California. From the day to day activities at school, the Christmas Program and the Graduation ceremony…and of course ALL the AMAZING teachers. We feel so lucky to have found such a caring, nurturing, and well-balanced school. My husband and I would like to thank you all for all the love and kindness you have shown to our boys!!!

– Sandra and Robert Lane

Excellent preschool experience for my daughter! Loving teachers, structured learning environment, and strong curriculum. Can’t wait to send my 2 other children! I recommend this school to all of my friends.”

— Stefanie Henderson

Best school experience for both of my children; loved attending and made best friends. Learned so much, children felt safe and loved. Great schedule for working parents! Clean and bright facility.”

— Esra Lynch

Our daughter was happy, had fun, kept safe, treated lovingly, nurtured, encouraged, and learned volumes! Very high standards; socially, behaviorally, and academically. Very clean facility and well-maintained. Much brighter and more inviting that other preschools we observed when looking for a center for our daughter. Mahalo to the staff of Small World for providing our daughter with an excellent school beginning!”

— Jennifer Lazslo

All of our boys attended Small World. Their program is excellent! Consistent and clear communication among staff and parents, friendly and caring staff, super clean environment, happy children, and great curriculum. We cannot thank you all for the awesome experience over the years!”

— Walker ʻOhana

We felt supported and so much kindness from all of the teachers. The curriculum was strong. There was a lot of creativity. Discipline was also something we feel Small World does really well. My daughter will definitely be ready for kindergarten!”

— Gray ʻOhana

I loved the family-like environment, personalized attention and care, and the one-on-one relationship with my child. She has learned so much and exhibits behavior and mannerisms she is surrounded with. Her learning experience is nurturing as well as educational. Communication is excellent, no matter how minuscule or extreme.”

— Andriana Nansen

Love the daily routines and guidance that my child receives. The teachers are loving and my child will definitely be ready for kindergarten!”

— Hoover ʻOhana

Mahalo, Small World Preschool! We appreciate your help with the student references — and even more so the great job you do preparing your students for the years ahead. We are very fortunate to have many wonderful Small World alumni at Parker School. Thanks to all of you for laying the foundation for their love of learning!!

— Emily Pagliaro; Admissions Director & the Parker School ʻOhana

Dearest Ladies at Small World,

How can we possibly thank you for your tremendous work with Jack?? With all the kids, really….you are all saints.

From the first morning we dropped him off as a “Little Foot”, through the uncharted early stages of Covid-19 as a “Grover”, to the last day we picked him up as a “Big Bird”, we knew that he was overwhelmingly cared for daily. Keeping all the kids safe without a pandemic is incredible. Keeping them all safe during the pandemic, miraculous! Thank you all for your tireless efforts!!

We also knew that his early development was consistently nurtured to the utmost. Jack is a beautiful person, thoughtful and bright. We have no doubt that the person he is today is a version of his best self, which is a clear reflection of each of you individually and collectively. Thank you for enriching his life and imparting your wisdom and character on him daily.

We are forever indebted to you.

— With love, Cammy and Jason Dabney

You all do such as amazing job there and I will forever recommend Small World Preschool to everyone that I come across.  While Colten attended during the chaotic 2-year peak of COVID-19, Small World Preschool did an outstanding job with providing a safe and clean environment for our kids while also fighting to provide them with a routine preschool experience to develop their social skills and have fun learning! 

As working parents, we appreciated the extended day option and limited closure days for breaks and holidays.  You have done an excellent and wonderful job in preparing Colten for kindergarten.  While he is one of many, he has the confidence to walk right into the classroom each morning.  Mahalo Small World Preschool!
