My daughter has been attending the preschool for 1.5 years. It was an amazing experience for all our family. These teachers are friendly, creative, responsible, knowledgeable. Teacher Danica is doing her job with professional skills, positive energy and a passion to her work! She can create so friendly atmosphere between kids, they care about each other with respect and support. My daughter was so excited and happy to going in the preschool. She enjoyed every day and learned a lot. Also her English improved!Teachers prepared structured schedule for every month with a lot of learning activities, sport events, art projects, science experiences, monthly field trips and holidays celebrations. This preschool is good prepare kids for Kindergarten. I definitely recommend the Burke Mountain preschool!!!

My son attended Burke Mountain preschool for two years and loved it. He enjoyed the outdoor play, the inquiry-based learning, science experiments, cooking and playtime. He always had exciting stories to share about all he did. Teacher Danica and Teacher Kellie really care about the social-emotional growth and development of the children and foster a love for learning through their thoughtful provocations and activities for their learners. They helped my son build independence and confidence over the two years he attended. We are so glad we chose Burke Mountain Preschool!

We registered Tiago the day we visited Burke Mountain Preschool for the first time. We absolutely loved the place, the teacher and the program that was designed for the kids to learn and have fun at the same time. When I picked him up the first day, he cried, he didn’t want to leave.... That’s means a lot! Teacher Danica is very sweet, experienced, fun, she really loves what she does. And the kids love her, too. They are definitely in great hands. "Tiago loved the experience so much, so we registered him again in the Before & After school program, when he attended the Elementary school. It was such an amazing experience! I definitely recommend Burke Mountain Preschool."

"My family moved to Burke Mountain the spring of 2015. Teacher Danica was the first person we met on the mountain when I inquired about her preschool for my eldest daughter. We were thrilled to get a spot! Teacher Danica and her philosophy of play based learning and fine development of motor skills has greatly enriched the development of both my daughters. My eldest entered Kindergarten completely prepared socially and developmentally. Burke Mountain Preschool is a nurturing and supportive environment which encourages imagination, play and learning through the exploration of the classroom and the outside world of playgrounds, parks and our beautiful Burke Mountain forest."

"I came across Danica and Burke Mountain Preschool the minute my son Matthew turned 3. I was concerned as he was born a preemie, the youngest of 3 kids and at 3 was barely speaking. Danica reassured me he would be fine, and I am so glad I listened to my gut upon meeting Danica. After a short 4 months, Matt is speaking sentences around his sisters, and acknowledges letters in the alphabet, can count to 10 and LOVES going to “my school”, as he calls it. Everyday is a wonderful new experience for Matthew to explore and learn, there are days where I want to stay and see what Danica has in store for the kids. My 2 older children beg me to go to their brothers school as well! I feel so blessed to have found Danica. Matthew and I look forward to the next 2 years in preparing Matt for Kindergarten. I know he is going to be more than ready!"

"We knew we had found the right preschool after watching the way Danica’s eyes lit up when she spoke about how children learn, their curiosity, and how she facilitated their learning and growth at her school. Her love for what she does is evident. We have been fortunate enough to have both our children complete preschool at Burke Mountain Preschool. Without a doubt, the school helped my children explore their limitless creativity, build their confidence, and begin to learn important life lessons such as social responsibility. We are forever grateful that their first experience of school learning was done with Danica and co teachers by their side to encourage and support them, and provide just the right amount of structure."

"Both of my daughters have had the absolute privilege of attending Burke Mountain Preschool. They have loved the play-based nature, and thrived on the structure and routine, making it the perfect introduction to school. I have watched my girls gain confidence, build little friendships, and have witnessed their independence grow. Most importantly, they have always felt safe and comfortable. Not only is the preschool very clean and well-organized, but the teachers are wonderful and make learning a ton of fun by preparing new activities and experiences daily. Danica has always made herself available for conversation, and has provided continued correspondence through monthly newsletters and personal emails. Danica is wholeheartedly devoted to her students. She ensures that each child feels capable, valued, and accomplished, and, above all, it is clear that she loves each child unconditionally. I am so grateful for Danica and Kellie and all they have done for our girls.

“We decided to register our boys at Burke Mountain Preschool after both my husband and I had toured the school and spoke at length with Danika about the needs of our boys. Danika impressed us with her extensive knowledge and passion for early childhood education and her warm and kind personality. The boys instantly took a liking to her and activities she had planned for them.”

"My daughter has been at Burke Mountain Preschool since September and LOVES going to school! Danica encourages the children to be independent learners, and values their creativity and curiosity. My child has learned so much this year, and has had a great time doing it. Danica’s passion for teaching is evident, and I would recommend Burke Mountain Preschool to anyone."
