Testimonials – Pre School

Parent Testimonials

The positive feedback we get from parents about their child’s baby care and/or pre-school experiences speaks volumes about our owners, faculty, and overall learning environment. Our goal is to allow kids to feel like Scottsdale Academy is their "other home" – as you can see from the following testimonials, our pre-school is exactly that. The reason kids and their parents love Scottsdale so much is that we help children establish a positive sense of self through our early childhood development philosophies and practices that are based on a sense of community.
“We without a doubt know that Marley loves her school and is totally happy because she constantly brags on what her teachers are teaching her. She often asks if her teachers can come over to our house, along with many of her friends. She is totally comfortable and safe and that’s what it is all about to us. We love Scottsdale!”

Chris and Drew Morrison

“We knew we had our daughter in the right school when she asked to “go to school” on a weekend when we were out shopping and passed by Scottsdale. It warmed our hearts!”

Kip and Kerri West

“Scottsdale Academy has been a wonderful place for our daughter. Each and every day she continues to learn more and more and grow into a “big girl”. The organizational skills of the faculty are second to none and the teachers have far exceeded our high expectations. We love Scottsdale but our daughter loves it even more!”

Travis and Becky Lackey

“You know your kid loves their school when they are disappointed on “stay home days”. That’s how much all of my three boys have loved Scottsdale.”

Jessica Poppell

“Sending our daughter to Scottsdale was one of our best decisions. The teachers are qualified and they make learning fun. It is great to hear our daughter come home talking about what a wonderful day she had at school!”

Stanley and Erika Littles

“My family’s experience at Scottsdale Academy has truly been a blessing. Our biggest concerns were met with the normal every day operations of Scottsdale’s staff. They really do provide a learning environment that is fun for the children and effective enough to meet the expectations of the parents. My wife and I have every intention of our younger daughter attending Scottsdale Academy as well.”

Richard and Fiona Hartsfield III

“Scottsdale Academy has provided both our boys a loving, caring and nurturing environment while building a solid educational foundation. Their curriculum actively engages the children thus enhancing their learning experience. The personal side encourages a sense of uniqueness and importance to each child. The laughter and smiles at the end of the day are evidence enough. The family atmosphere, friendliness of all the staff, openness of the owners and quality of curriculum make this experience a positive and confident first step in their educational pursuits.”

Scott and Melissa Olson

“The simple fact that I can drop off my child and she has a smile on her face and says “bye Mama, see you later” speaks volumes. Thank you for making Scottsdale her second home.”

Meghan Presnell

“Our son was well prepared for kindergarten after graduating from Scottsdale Academy. The teachers are nurturing. I like the fact that there is minimal TV time, lots of art projects and learning. We now have our second child there.”

Liana and Kevin Ryan

“Both of our sons have attended Scottsdale and we have been very pleased! The teachers and staff are all wonderful! We have never had to worry about them during the day.”

Jennifer Gonzalez

“We moved our son to Scottsdale when he was 21 months old. It was a smooth and easy transition. The teachers and the directors all made sure he felt comfortable and loved. He is now three and a half and loves Scottsdale which of course makes morning drop off that much easier!”

Brian and Shari Hickey

“Scottsdale has given our daughter a kind and loving school atmosphere. We have watched her learn and grow in confidence since she began attending, and we can’t imagine her anywhere else”

Jennifer Roeder

“Scottsdale Academy is such a great place for kids. It is a good feeling to know that our child is safe and getting a good start for grammar school. Everyone there is awesome!”

John Lojan

“I have no doubt that Scottsdale has the finest staff in Tallahassee. This is the first time that Scott has had not one, but the same two teachers for the entire school year. I believe this consistency has truly made an indelible difference in his personal growth and learning”

Maggie Greenwald

“The Staff at Scottsdale Academy has had an amazingly positive impact on our family. My son entered Scottsdale struggling with his self-esteem. His teachers continuously worked with him, in a loving way, to improve his feelings of achievement. His teachers never doubted or gave up on him and now he beams with self-confidence daily. The achievement that Scottsdale acquired with my son took patience, love, and a full understanding of child development. The amazing thing is that the staff at Scottsdale makes this effort with every child. It takes a very special team of teachers to make parents feel that their child is receiving adequate care. The amazing thing is that the staff at Scottsdale makes this effort with every child.”

The Fletcher Family

“My son has gone to Scottsdale Academy for over three years and the experience has been wonderful. He recently completed VPK and tested for kindergarten. His new teacher was very impressed and said he is not only prepared for kindergarten but also scored well above average. Roy and Jen Keister treat every child at Scottsdale like their own. I wish Harrison could attend Scottsdale forever!”
