"Searching for a preschool for our 18 month old child was overwhelming, but when we stepped into Violet Crown Preschool, there was an immediate sense of peace. Now, 3 years later, the school feels like home, and we wish we could stay longer! The educators at VCP are warm & nurturing, and they take the time to understand and meet each child’s needs. The playground is amazing, and we love how much time the children spend outdoors. We are so grateful for VCP!"
