Preschool of the Arts

"My son has only attended the School one year, but it has been a wonderful year. I chose the School to ensure he had a great foundation before attending a kindergarten. Every day I find out something new he has learned. The School has a very rich curriculum, which includes science, art, music class, Spanish class, yoga, different sport activities etc. He has become more creative and attentive. Thank you to all the teachers and a special thanks to a great principal, Mrs. Ettie Zaklos, who is an effective leader, communicator and able to bring together students, teachers and parents."

"Naples Preschool of the Arts is a phenomenal school. It is a safe, clean, happy, and healthy environment. My daughter’s teachers are lovely, understanding, and kind. This is a well organized, well thought out, and seamlessly run school. I highly recommend enrolling your children."

"We have been at Jay and Patty Baker Preschool of the Arts for two years and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we had found a special place. The teachers and staff are warm, welcoming, and truly care about the children. They create a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages learning through play and exploration. The curriculum is well-rounded and incorporates a variety of activities, including art, music, yoga, cooking and more! Communication with parents is excellent. The teachers provide daily updates on our child's progress, and are always available to answer questions and provide guidance on how we can support our child's learning at home. We highly recommend Jay and Patty Baker Preschool of the Arts! It is a wonderful place where children can thrive and build a strong foundation for future learning. Our child loves every moment spent there and we feel fortunate to be a part of such a special community."

"Preschool of the Arts is incredible! Nowhere else will you find so many opportunities for your child. Gardening, Music, Art, Spanish, Science, Yoga, Little Chefs, and My Gym are among the ever-growing curriculum. Not only are the courses amazing and the staff of the highest quality, but the campus is immaculate! Your child will enjoy the new Market, which changes throughout the year, and be protected by the enormous sun shades that cover the playground, where he or she can enjoy the play structure, scooter and bike track, swings, and outdoor art studio. Nutrition is also of supreme importance, and the campus is nut-free. Security measures have been put in place to ensure that your child is signed in and out by only authorized individuals. You will be relaxed and reassured by the attention to detail that the director has given to every aspect of Preschool of the Arts. The weekly newsletter and daily pictures of your smiling child are a pleasant benefit! As a parent of two children who have attended from 18 months through five years old, I can guarantee that you will fall in love with Preschool of the Arts."

"This school is the VERY best Naples has to offer. I was an anxious mom who didn't trust ANYONE with my son. It only took one visit to Preschool of the Arts to realize my son would be in capable and loving hands. Academically they are top notch. They believe in play-based learning. Beyond that they always have speakers on child development and family dynamics so us parents learn a lot too. Preschool of the Arts is always adding and upgrading which recently included a new Market Place that is essentially a little supermarket where children can "play" and learn how to conduct business. They can even sell the veggies they grow and learn about in the school's beautiful organic garden. The children are exposed to culture, science, art, music, yoga, cooking, and more. There is a beautiful covered playground so your child isn't coming home sunburned. My son loves school and is sad when we have to keep him home. Preschool of the Arts sends home photos and updates daily through an app which is great. You can see exactly what your child is learning and doing each and every day. The school is safe and secure with multiple locked gates, security cameras, guards and a fingerprinting system to check your child in and out. Despite all of the safety checks it doesn't feel scary- it is a beautiful campus that feels like home to both the students and the parents. If you want your child to have the BEST start in their academic career you absolutely can not go wrong with choosing Preschool of the Arts. Every aspect of this school is TOP NOTCH especially the staff. I hope your child is as lucky as mine is and can attend this amazing school. Apply now because excellence has a waiting list!"
