St Thomas Preschool has an amazing staff of teachers that have been with the school for years, showing their true passion for early childhood education. The community is warm and welcoming. The director shows pride and interest in making her school great. The NYAC certification is important. My child loved school here. He had many friends, loved all the activities. It was a great way to start his educational journey... with a true love and passion for learning, given to him at this school.
