““ Our 2 year old is our only child. We started him at the Academy 3 half days just for fun and to socialize him. My son loves the school so much. By the end of the year he was 5 full days. His choice, I actually ask him everyday and unless I have something spectacular planned he wants to go to school. Picking him up is so fun. He sings, dances, tells me about all the fun he has each day.
Watching Monday morning chapel is a very special experience. The teachers and staff are so sweet and supportive it really feels like one big family!””

“This has been my daughter’s first school experience and we are so grateful we chose The Academy. First and foremost, every single staff member is warm and welcoming. They make my daughter feel loved, important, and like they are so happy to see her every day. The children learn through play and new experiences—they do Spanish, art and music in the classroom. The school environment is friendly and community-oriented. We are so blessed to have our daughter attend The Academy!  ”

“It was our daughter’s first experience of being away from home and mommy so everyone was nervous. Her friendly teachers and the rest of the staff made the whole family feel very comfortable and welcomed. Now our little one gets in “I can’t wait” mood every time she does not go to preschool. Our girl has learned so much, not just the academics but also about friendship, being independent, being a team player, sharing, offering help and much more.  The Academy is a place with great atmosphere and amazing staff. It is a great feeling that you can leave your child at the place where you know she will be cared for. Thank you!

The Academy Preschool is truly a gem of a school. The seasoned brilliant teachers and warm staff bring joy, fun and excitement to our boys’ educational lives. Every day they experience a thoughtful and interesting approach to their lessons in the classroom, chapel and playground. My husband and I truly believe The Academy is one of the finest preschools in all of Southern California, so much so that we relocated over 120 miles to attend! We feel honored to send our boys here to this safe and lovely school. The Academy is what preschool dreams are made of! ”

“The Academy at Palm Desert Presbyterian has been the most wonderful environment for my son. He has been at the school for two years, during which he has blossomed and come into his own. He is excited to go to school every morning to learn new things. My son was painfully shy before he started at The Academy. However, the school programs and curriculum have really helped him come into his own. He has made great friends and isn’t as nervous in unfamiliar situations outside of the school. I feel good every time I leave my son at school knowing that he is in a loving environment where he will have fun, be mentally engaged and thoroughly cared for.  ”

“We are so grateful to have found The Academy! The teachers and staff have created a warm and positive environment for the children which allows them to learn and grow and have fun while doing it. My daughter has learned so much and established some wonderful friendships. It puts my mind at ease knowing she is in such good, capable hands when I drop her off in the morning. She runs into the arms of her teachers and friends and is truly excited to be there. I’m so thankful to be a part of The Academy family!”

“My son is 3.5 and has never been to daycare/preschool before. I was very nervous to let him go anywhere, but I had to due to work. I did a ton of research and landed on the Academy because of testimonials from friends and excellent reviews. Let me tell you God led us to the right place! My son’s teacher Rebecca was AMAZING! She’s been so helpful in her guidance of my son, taking very seriously some special needs he has, and handling every situation with patience and grace. Reichel has also worked alongside us and been an amazing help the moment we needed it. I’ve felt I’ve had a team of caring teachers and staff at my side guiding and caring for my son these past 6 months and I couldn’t be more grateful! ”
