5 /5 Mandy Walker: My daughter has spent the last 2 years in preschool at Tiny Notes and has absolutely loved her time here. She has grown in so many ways and they have been extremely accommodating with working around my work schedule for drop off/pick up and with closures. I plan on signing up my younger daughter next year when she is 3 to begin her preschool journey with them!

5 /5 Meghan Wimer: We’ve been with Tiny Notes for a few years and my two sons love it. We’ve experienced the thoughtfulness of the staff and teachers, receiving proactive, regular updates after inquiring about a certain topic. While we have seen a number of staff come and go, they’ve all been there for the kids. The boys are happy to go to school and enjoy the music, activities and learning that goes along with it. It’s been a source of joy for our family.

5 /5 Jenai Orwin: My son has attended tiny notes for the last school year, and we have been so impressed! Our son went into school barely talking, and less than a year later he’s talking his little head off, he can count, knows his abcs, and is becoming a social butterfly. They are always so incredibly patient with him, even though he has the willpower and stubbornness of a bull sometimes. If he isn’t happy with the teacher checking him in, they immediately will go grab a teacher he’s comfortable with. He has pretty bad separation anxiety from me, but here he runs right back and barely says goodbye. We’ve already enrolled him for the next year to guarantee our little guy will have a spot in this wonderful community. We highly recommend this school, and the incredible teachers/employees!

5 /5 Teresa Thompson: We have been going to Tiny Notes for the last school year. We have participated in the various activities they plan outside of school. Our child loves it. She has made friends and is overall improved her social skills, especially with her being more of a COVID baby. We had initial concerns with her behaviorthe team was quick to address and work with us on. The creativity, education and artistic stylizing of learning they provide has made us as parents feel like our child gets to express themselves. Being a working parent is hard so we love knowing she is being challenged to grow in such a positive way. Bonus, we get so much art and gadgets and activities brough home with no home mess. I do wish we could get a consistent playlist of songs they use. Sometimes she comes home demanding "elephant stomp" and I still am unsure what that is.

5 /5 Kylie Bell: As my daughter prepares to graduate from preschool, I just want to take a moment to say how incredibly grateful I am for Tiny Notes. They not only support my daughter, but also me as a parent. They host community classes to teach about sensory processing, do frequent parent meetings, and help come up with some kind of solution to any behavior I have concerns about. If they don’t have the answer; they will research and ask around until they do. From day one (which was playgroup 4 years ago with Mrs Ashley), the love, patience, and dedication from the teachers and staff have made such a difference in her life, in our families life. My daughter came in as a 1 year old at first, then began preschool at 2.5 She had tremendous behavior concerns her first year, but they never made me feel bad about it or shamed her or I, they supported her and supported us with having her tested for autism. They supported me with facing the diagnosis. Ashley connected me with someone who could diagnose her and has been the biggest support through this all, walking me through resources and supports available as a parent, as well as walking me through things with the school district. I knew nothing about autism until my daughter was diagnosed, and they’ve been there every single step of the way. They helped her grow in confidence, communication, and independence. She is a completely different kid, and we have learned so much as parents. Her team not only celebrates her strengths, but also helped her work through challenges in a way that made her feel safe and encouraged. She loves going to school and has nothing but kind things to say about all the staff she works with. I can’t even begin to name all the amazing staff there at Tiny Notes who has helped my daughter…Mrs Ashley (the director), Elaina and Bailey in OT, her BCBA Kevin, the techs Erma, Caryn, Rachell, Ashlie, and Millie, and Andi in the office who has fought with our insurance to get claims approved so my daughter could continue ABA and OT. Even staff who isn’t there anymore…Megan and Jordan. A few of these staff have supported me as a mother going through complete breakdowns due to behaviors and being completely overwhelmed when she really first began ABA and was diagnosed. I could call and just vent about my concerns with my daughter’s behavior and they’d remind me I was doing a good job and offer me support. They got me through some really difficult times when she was first diagnosed and first began her journey. Ashley even continues to support families at Tiny Notes by having the director of special education come talk to parents for kiddos going into kindergarten to ensure they get support, and will even advocate to the school district to ensure that support is set up. This school has been more than just a preschool — it’s been a second home to my daughter. A life changer. I’ll always be thankful for the care, structure, and kindness they’ve given our family. We will continue our Tiny Notes journey next year with my son, where I know he will be in good hands. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be seen, heard, and supported every step of the way — this is it. I’ll never send my kids to any other preschool. Thank you Tiny Notes staff, you all have truly made such a difference for our family
