Priya M.Verified Current Parent (Curtis Campus)
Pre-K & Kindergarten Prep • September 2026

“Rigorous phonics curriculum, but verify afternoon care ratios”

Our daughter started in the preschool room and transitioned to Pre-K. The phonics and Singapore math foundation is unmatched—she was reading simple consonant-vowel-consonant books before turning 4. The campus on Curtis Ave is kept spotless, and drop-off is well-managed. One thing to know: the academic morning teachers are phenomenal, but extended care (after 3:30pm) relies more on support aides with higher float ratios. Overall, the safety protocol and daily communication via the portal are excellent.

“Clean safety record, highly structured classroom environment”

Stratford runs like clockwork. Inspection records are always clean, and door access requires individual biometric or keycard check-in. If your child thrives on predictable schedules, desk-time readiness, and manners, they will blossom here. If your toddler is very high energy and needs free-form muddy outdoor exploration, it might feel a bit strict. We appreciated the zero-citation state inspection dockets when choosing it.

Review Integrity Commitment: Daycares cannot pay to remove or sponsor reviews. Every review is moderated under our zero-pay-to-remove policy.
