Storyville Preschool offers weekly gymnastics classes to its students on the Tumble Bus, an actual school bus with gymnastics equipment inside. The on-site gymnastics lesson is fun for the children and helps to build their coordination, confidence, and gross motor skills. The service is led by a qualified gymnastics instructor. The Tumble Bus is definitely a favorite with Storyville children!

Storyville has been and always will be the stepping stone to my sons growth and blossoming. He entered the school at 2.9 years old as a Pooh student, he is now in Pinocchio. We speak Spanish at home and would like for him to grow up bilingual living in the US. We were supported in our wishes by the Storyville staff where he has learned English for the first time. Needless to say he is able to communicate socially and academically inside and outside of school in English, indistinctly. He can write his name and some two letter words. He knows all the letters both in English and in Spanish. He has been loved and nurtured and stimulated from the very beginning not only as a child but as a free thinker. Thanks to all the great planning and exposure to several indoor and outdoor activities, my son has doubled his learning capacity (summer swimming lessons, special monthly guests, yoga, walks around the neighborhood, apple picking, summer outdoor activities). The school has always been very accommodating to our family, nurturing to my son and with an open door policy to talk 24/7. I dont know what we would have done without Storyville. I feel like sending my son to school here is like sending him to learn, to play, and to grow at a center that feels like family and one that I can trust for the safety and education of my most valuable possession.

Storyville was an amazing place for Trisha to grow in her formative years (2-4). My son Korak and daughter Trisha found a great home in the Storyville community when we moved from Florida to Boston in June 2007. Trisha loved every moment here. The teachers here are simply the best. My son had a great couple of months here in the summer of 2007.

We are a former Storyville family. My daughter went to Storyville for a year and a half before entering Kindergarten. I want to say Thank You to you and your staff for the preparation you gave her. I know every teacher there had a part in it.
We just completed her Kindergarten year, and my end of the year meeting with her teacher was glowing!! Her teacher was very impressed at how quickly she picked up reading and writing. Her teacher was amazed, and kept saying, "She must have gone to preschool." Of course I told her that she had gone to Storyville Preschool. So...thank you, thank you!!! And we will see you again in a few years as we have a 1 year old at home now too.

"Storyville Preschool was a wonderful experience for my son Raphael. The school offers a great preparation both socially and educationally. He was really well prepared for going into kindergarten, having learned all Pre-K basics and social skills. He was really happy there from the Pooh class to the Lion King class. The staff is excellent and followed the children really well. I definitely recommend Storyville as being an excellent preschool."

"My son had a great experience at Storyville. The teachers were well prepared and came up with thoughtful and fun activities for the children. In addition, I found the staff to be most accomodating and flexible in their approach. I definitely believe that Storyville played a great role in my son's easy transition to the public school and kindergarten."

"The preparation our son Ryan received at Storyville to go into kindergarten was top notch. The kindergarten screener at his school remarked at how well prepared and ahead of most incoming students the Storyville kids were. We could not have been happier with the education he received at Storyville. It made for a much easier transition to grade school."

"When our son Ben started going to Storyville Preschool last September, my husband and I were extremely worried: back in Gernany, Ben had hated preschool. Every single morning he told us that he did not want to go there, and every single morning he cried when we dropped him off. As if this was not bad enough, he now had to cope with an entirely new language, new kids, and a new environment: frankly, we expected a disaster.

But it did not happen because at Storyville Preschool Ben met Miss. Cyndi. I do not know how she worked this miracle, but after only two days Ben did not need my company anymore. And after a certain while he even stopped crying when I left him with her. From the very first moment Ben seemed to entirely trust Cyndi and confide in her. During my absence, her hand became just as good as mine to caress and soothe him.

Cyndi talks to me every day about how Ben has been doing. She is always cooperative and willing to answer all my questions or to address any concerns. Ben now loves going to preschool - you should see the big smile that brightens his face as soon as he sees his favorite teacher!

Cyndi is not only enthusiastic and encouraging but also warmhearted, kind, and affectionate. Our son Ben is very much attached to her. And, mind you, you cannot fool these wise little people: obviously, Cyndi is not only a great guide and teacher but she must also be a wonderful person."

"We've been pleased wilth the diversity of the students and the staff. And we've been delighted with the enrichment programs such as yoga, music, Tumble bus, and summer swimming lessons! Laura's made some wonderful friends at Storyville. Thank you!"

"My son has such a positive outlook on things since he began going to Storyville. I really couldn't ask for him to be in a better place."

"Nate is a very social, outgoing child, and Storyville has given him the outlet he needs to sharpen his social skills. He really looks forward to going to school and comes home excited about his days activities. He loves his teachers and especially loves Wednesdays on the Tumble Bus. Thanks, Storyville for making Nate's first school experience such a gratifying and fun one!"

"When I drop off my daughter she's excited to be at Storyville and when I pick her up she's always hugging her friends and talking about tomorrow."

"I just wanted to say that I still recommend Storyville to anyone who is looking for preschool/child care. Although my son just started the fourth grade, I still consider our experience at Storyville as one of the best! I am a single mom who works full-time, and trying to find quality care was a struggle. My son was quite shy and very quiet. All I can say is that he really blossomed at Storyville. Unfortunately, I tried quite a few programs, family care and some of the "big name" programs, before I came across Storyville, but it was by far the best!! Storyville was just really getting started when I enrolled my son, so I didn't have much info to go by... but I am sure happy we found it...Again, I am truly grateful for what Storyville did for me and my son. If you are looking for a quality, caring program, in which your son or daughter will shine...look no further...It's a wonderful program!"

"Storyville is really a wonderful place for kids to grow. The teachers here are very nice and professional. Our daughter, Crystal, really enjoys every day's in-class learning and outdoor activities. Words cannot express our appreciation to the wonderful job the people at Storyville have done!"

"Storyville has been such a great experience for both my son and myself. The staff are the best in the business! My son looks forward every day to going to Storyville Preschool. I simply don't have enough room to say enough great things about Storyville Preschool! We are both so very happy and lucky to have found this preschool!"

John has entered a challenging and nurturing environment at Storyville. The staff are familiar with my family and the center provides my family with love, support, and the intimacy of a small school experience. We have tried the large corporate centers and are fortunate to have found Storyville, where we feel safe, comfortable and cared for.

"Its wonderful to drop your child off when they are excited to be at the school, and even better to see them still happy and busy when you pick them up!"

"Ms. Carmen and Ms. Dee Dee of the kindergarten class are terrific teachers. Our daughter has made great progress (both social and academic) since she attended the school last year. Parents can talk to the teachers every day. We don't need to wait for teacher - parent conferences to find out how our child is doing. The variety of learning activities at Storyville Preschool is so impressive!"

"Our daughter has really blossomed since she started at Storyville a few months ago! It is so great to see her soak up all the new things there are to learn. Cognitive, social and emotional aspects of each Storyville student are nurtured according to their particular needs. It is a continual delight to see how the values that we care about are reinforced and appreciated!"

Storyville has been the BEST thing to happen to us and Ryan. I am literally blown away by the school, the staff, everything...His teachers are so caring and loving. They tell me all about his day when I come to pick him up as if he were the only kid in his room. They know everything! They are truly amazing people. We really couldn't be happier. Our one regret was not finding you sooner!!!

"Storyville has an excellent program with a caring/attentive/nurturing staff of very high caliber. Their facility is top notch and very well maintained and clean with a wide variety of resources to aid in the children's development. Special activities are frequent, well organized and well executed and of reasonable cost. All in all, Storyville is a great program run by wonderful people."

"Our daughter has been at Storyville for almost a year now and she enjoys her days there very much. A great deal of her growth and development in that time can be attributed to the loving efforts of the excellent staff. Their dedication to the children, combined with their extraordinary skills, is clearly evident in the joy on the faces of the kids at the end of the day. Storyville's academic curriculum along with play time, the emphasis on manners and cooperation among the children and the many special activities (storytellers, music, tumble bus, class trips, etc.) really helps the kids bloom."

"A hundred years from now It will not matter What my bank account was, The sort of house I lived in, Or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be better Because I made a difference In the life of a child."
