What Parents Say About Georgetown Preschool

Parents at Our Family Day

“After spending eight months searching for the right preschool or daycare for my two-year-old, I can truly say that Georgetown Preschool and Lavante have both been exceptional experiences for our family. The journey wasn’t easy—letting go, trusting others with my child, and wanting to make the best decision felt overwhelming at times—but from the very beginning, both places made us feel welcomed, supported, and confident in our choice. At Georgetown Preschool, the staff is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely committed to fostering each child’s growth and development. They clearly prioritize a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. The classrooms are thoughtfully organized, and the curriculum blends learning with play in a meaningful way, helping children strengthen their social, emotional, and early academic skills. Their consistent and open communication with families brings a strong sense of comfort and trust. Lavante has also been an outstanding childcare option. From the moment we toured, the atmosphere was so warm and inviting that my son—who can be very selective—didn’t want to leave. The team is friendly, professional, and truly invested in every child’s well-being. Their flexibility, encouragement, genuine care, opportunities to connect with other parents, and the cleanliness of the environment all make a lasting impression. Lavante has played a significant role in helping me regain balance as a parent. I now feel reassured, supported, and at peace knowing my son is safe, happy, and continuing to grow in such a positive and nurturing setting. I wholeheartedly recommend both Georgetown Preschool and Lavante to any parent seeking reliable, high-quality, and compassionate early childhood care and education.”

“The Georgetown Preschool is the best school I've had the pleasure of entrusting my child to. The teachers keep me updated throughout the day with pictures, videos, and notes, which gives me so much peace of mind. Lavantes has amazing communication, a positive attitude, and truly cares about the children. The environment is warm, welcoming, and nurturing. I highly recommend The Georgetown Preschool to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and engaging place for their child.”

Bryce Thomas

“After just two weeks, I can honestly say enrolling my daughter here was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, she has been excited to go to school each morning, and it’s been so rewarding to see how quickly she’s settled in. She already looks forward to the different themed activities and will ask things like, “Is it puppet day?” or “Is it music day?” It’s clear that the school puts a lot of thought into creating an engaging, fun, and enriching experience for the children. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful and exceptionally well maintained, but what truly sets this school apart is the people. My daughter’s teacher, Makia, has been incredibly observant, patient, and intentional about supporting her growth. I appreciate that she takes the time to understand where my daughter is developmentally and continues to challenge and encourage her rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I also want to recognize the director, Mr. Levante. He’s very hands-on, approachable, and genuinely invested in both the children and their families. You can tell that strong leadership has created a positive culture where communication is excellent and everyone truly cares about helping the children learn and thrive. Although we’re only two weeks in, we’ve had an amazing experience so far, and I’m excited to see how my daughter continues to grow here. I would absolutely recommend this school to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment.”

India Anderson

“We are so excited for our child is starting school with The Georgetown Preschool, it’s a very warm and clean environment. Mr. Lavante Adams communication is top tier. Thank you for helping us pick the right school for our scholar.”

Jazmin Thurston

“I’d been looking for a preschool or daycare for my 1 year old for 6 months. I struggled with the idea and separation from my child and just making the right decision. My daughter is very picky but when we toured Lavante not only made it pleasant but he made my daughter comfortable that she didn’t want to leave. The staff, the flexibility, help, aide, comfortability, meeting other parents, the cleanliness, and much more all made a difference. Lavante helped me get my life in order as a 1st time mom and now I feel like I have wings and my daughter is safe and being educated in the best way. Thank you 🫶🏾🌸”

Cortnie Lomax

“If I could give Georgetown Preschool more than five stars, I absolutely would. As a first-time mom, the thought of returning to work and leaving my daughter in someone else’s care was honestly overwhelming. When my daughter was around four months old, I started researching schools because I knew I would eventually be transitioning back to work when she was about six to eight months. Then I came across Georgetown Preschool. It was new, beautifully presented, and immediately caught my attention. What I can confidently say now is this: the experience is not fluff, it is not a façade, and it is not just great marketing. Georgetown Preschool is the real deal. In fact, the advertisements still do not fully capture the exceptional, top-tier experience my family and I are having. From our very first walkthrough, we knew this school was special. Mr. Lavante Adams is truly one of the most phenomenal school directors I have ever encountered. His energy, passion, intentionality, and genuine commitment to the children are beyond anything you could hope for in someone leading a school. You can feel how deeply he cares the moment you walk through the doors. This transition has been made so much easier because of the incredible staff and environment they’ve created. As a first-time mom, I needed reassurance, communication, warmth, and trust, and Georgetown Preschool has exceeded every expectation. I feel relieved every day. I feel confident every day. I feel at peace knowing my daughter is there. I also have to personally acknowledge my daughter’s incredible teachers, Ms. Mykyia and Ms. Lucero. The love, patience, attention, and nurturing care they give these babies is truly priceless. You can genuinely feel how much they care about the children while also intentionally facilitating their development and growth every single day. Thank you both so much for the support, compassion, and dedication you pour into my baby girl. As a mother, that level of care means everything to me. One of the biggest transformations we’ve seen has been with eating. My daughter had become an extremely picky eater, and I was honestly starting to worry. Within just two weeks at Georgetown Preschool, she began eating significantly more and thriving in ways that truly amazed me. Seeing that change alone reassured me that she is in the right environment. The level of intentionality here is unmatched. From the organic meals to the detailed daily reports, from the nurturing atmosphere to the thoughtful educational activities happening every single day, everything feels purposeful. You can actually see the care, structure, and developmental focus being poured into the children daily. What I also love is that this school is constantly looking for ways to elevate the experience for the children. Ironically, I had just purchased Chinese flashcards for my daughter, and then I learned the school was planning to offer Chinese instruction. That perfectly reflects the type of school this is — always growing, always evolving, and always looking for ways to expose children to more. Honestly, if I had sat down and tried to create the perfect early childhood environment for my daughter, I still do not think I would have thought of everything Georgetown Preschool already provides. They are truly checking every box and then some. If you are considering a preschool for your child, I genuinely encourage you to visit Georgetown Preschool. Tour the school. Meet the staff. Experience the environment for yourself. I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions we have made for our daughter, and I feel incredibly grateful that she will spend her early childhood years here before transitioning into primary school. Absolutely exceptional in every way.”
