We have had a wonderful experience at Elmwood and would do it all over again without a doubt. Our daughter began attending Elmwood halfway through the 3's school year. All staff was friendly and accommodating. They ran a wonderful virtual program during the beginning of the pandemic and have offered nothing but absolute dedication to the safety, emotional, physical and academic well being of the Elmwood children. Our daughter will remain at Elmwood for first grade and we are thrilled.We could not recommend a better place for your child's most instrumental years of development. Thank you Elmwood

This school is excellent. They are very creative and caring - they are play based, and yet most kids excel academically. It's because they sneak the learning in... Jane is the Director and caring but also a "nerd" about early childhood education. She is a fantastic resource and you can tell that she thrives on learning more and providing an excellent start to school. This school is excellent but not fancy. They have their own songs and a very sweet culture that includes everyone. We love it at Elmwood.
