I simply cannot recommend this preschool enough. Both of my kiddos attended Pathfinders and as soon as my daughter started there we realized that we were a part of a very special family. With the low teacher-to-student ratio it is clear that they get to know the children and nurture them as individuals. They do a wonderful job of developing curriculum, covering the fundamentals of education, and make the extra effort to celebrate all of the special holidays (the Christmas celebration and Mother's day tea are SO wonderful). My daughter was absolutely prepared for Kindergarten having attended this school which is all we could hope for as parents. Tammie and the rest of the staff are excellent communicators, trustworthy educators and we just consider ourselves so lucky to have had such wonderful people be a part of such a precious time in our children's lives!

We are so grateful to have found and have our twins attend Pathfinders Preschool. They are such a friendly and nurturing environment where you truly feel a part of a loving community. My kids come home with such creative, thoughtful art projects and I appreciate that they do celebrate and recognize birthdays and holidays. Staff provides prompt communication. When compared to our experiences with the public schools my husband calls Pathfinders staff "Angels".

I highly recommend Pathfinders Preschool! Tammie and the rest of the teachers actually take the time to get to know each child. With focus on developmental appropriate academics and social skill I knew I made the right choice in selecting this preschool. My son is extremely shy and can take a while to warm up to new people and environments. Tammie took my concerns of this to heart and made his transition so easy. Last school year we decided to send him back for another year of preschool because of his late summer birthday and it was the best decision. His growth this year has been beyond amazing. He has confidence and has learned so much that next year for kindergarten he will be more then ready.

My kids have loved going to this preschool! The teachers are hands on and feel like family! My kids have learned so much and are well prepared for school now. This is a great preschool for all ages, including little ones who are just starting! Can't recommend it enough!

I was nervous to chose a preschool for both my kiddos when we moved to town, but Tammie answered my call and gave me a tour the same day! She was so welcoming and kind to the kids. They loved going! After our first year, my oldest went to Kindergarten and was right on track. The teachers are hands on and have equal amounts of play time to learning time. We love attending field trips, mothers day tea parties, and holiday events. My second is all ready for Kindergarten now...but I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this preschool so my two year old will be attending next year! I love all the teachers so much and am so grateful for the love and attention they have given my kids!

We have sent 2/3 our three girls through Pathfinders Preschool, and when the time comes for our youngest, she will attend too! Both of our experiences through Pathfinders have mimicked one another with the perfect amount of nurturing, individual growth, and learning. Tammie is incredibly communicative from the first inquiry into the preschool to questions or concerns that may be had. Teacher to student ratios are low, allowing true relationships to be built with each student. We couldn't be more pleased with this preschool!

We LOVE Pathfinders Preschool! Our daughter attended the preschool for the 2013-2014 school year. She had so much fun and looked forward to going to school each day (which is quite impressive already because she is shy.) The student-to-teacher ratio is very low, which allows for optimal individual attention. Pathfinders provides a quality preschool education at a very reasonable price. The teachers are so kind and compassionate and genuinely care for the students. Our daughter had a fun year of learning! I would most definitely recommend Pathfinders Preschool.

I don't even know where to begin with my praises for this school?! We moved out of the area a year ago. I have been searching for something comparable ever since then and come up completely empty handed. The teachers at Pathfinder's have a heart for children like none I have ever seen. They really spend time getting to know each child and working with them exactly where they are. They are so encouraging, patient and kind to the kids. They lead by example in teaching the kids what Jesus would do. The school itself is smaller, which might initially seem negative to some, but I consider it a great asset! My son progressed so much in his time at Pathfinders largely due to the individual attention he was given each day. I feel like the teachers really invested in my son as if he was their own child. Also, Pathfinders has great family events all the time and welcomes parental involvement anytime. This was a huge comfort to me as I was a nervous mom sending my first child off to "school" for the first time. This school is a hidden gem! Pathfinders is easily worth twice what they charge and more. Try it out, you won't be disappointed!
