What Families Are Saying
“My son’s preschool has truly been a wonderful experience for our family. From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. It’s clear that they love what they do, and that energy reflects in how they treat each child. The teachers are patient, attentive, and dedicated to helping the kids learn and grow at their own pace. I’ve seen so much positive development in my son socially, emotionally, and academically since he started attending. He comes home excited to share what he’s learned each day, which means everything to me as a parent. The environment is clean, safe, and full of engaging activities that keep the children interested and motivated. I also appreciate the communication from the staff they keep parents informed and involved, which builds a lot of trust. Overall, I’m so grateful we found this preschool. It’s comforting to know my son is in such a nurturing and supportive place where he can thrive and be happy.”

“We are so glad we found Caterpillar International Academy! As parents, we were very nervous about our daughter going to daycare. But since her very first week, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our daughter would thrive. The daycare feels bright and engaging, and the teachers go above and beyond in both care and education. The daycare is also very clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. Most importantly, the administration and teachers are always responsive, professional, and kind. We also love the fact the daycare and curriculum has a whole child development approach. The curriculum is fun and engaging, while incorporating international perspectives. Our little one’s cognitive, social, and emotional skills have blossomed since starting over a year ago. It's exciting to see our daughter's growth and confidence! We have since recently just enrolled our 4-month old son, and we are looking forward to his continued growth and development too. If you’re looking for more than just a “daycare”, but a place where your child(ren) will be nurtured and learn, we wholeheartedly recommend Caterpillar International Academy. We couldn’t ask for better!”

“Caterpillar Academy has wonderful teachers, awesome staff members, alway warm welcomes from Ms.Leah when you walk in and great director Ms.Breona. She has done an amazing job. She makes our family feel welcomed and communicates with us if she has any questions about our child especially having a child with autism. As a parent, it’s our obligation to communicate and find ways to work together, knowing that our children spend majority of their time in these facilities. And they do just that! Hands-down they’re an amazing place and We started coming summer break. We will be continue coming for the school year. 10/10”
