Reviews of Our Small World Children's Center
"I feel so grateful that we happened to stumble upon Our Small World when looking for daycare for my older son a few years ago. The preschool looks like a home on the outside and they truly are just one big family! The classroom sizes were small so the kids got lots of individual attention. They had plenty of time outside and honestly, the kids just seem so happy there! When Covid hit last spring they jumped into action and started teaching daily lessons via zoom. As you can imagine, this wasn't always easy with young kids but they made it so fun and the kids were still learning! I was surprised to see just how much they could do over the computer and my son looked forward to it everyday. As soon as he could go back in person, he was SO excited to see all of his teachers and friends again. I trust the staff at Our Small World and always knew my son was truly loved and cared for there. This isnt "just a job" for the teachers at Our Small World, its like an extension of their own family."
"My son has been at Our Small World for almost three years and the only regret I have is that I didn't start him earlier. The staff are amazing in every possible way - open, and communicative, and it's very obvious how much they love the kids. My son has learned SO much at his time here; both academically and emotionally. I have no concerns about him starting at Elementary school, as I know he is well prepared. The staff do such a good job of maintaining structure and expectations; however, also planning fun and spontaneous activities. I have never had any issue with my son not wanting to go in the mornings, and there have been several afternoons when tears were spilled due to being picked up 'too early.' :) I seriously cannot say enough good things about this daycare/school; it is everything a parent would and could possibly want."
"We LOVE Our Small World! Our daughter has thrived under the care of the amazing teachers. She has learned important early-childhood skills such as turn-taking, interactive play, and how to treat others. We are also very impressed with the fact that OSW has an academic curriculum, as well. As a veteran teacher, I can say that 3-year-old learning their letters, sounds, and numbers is very impressive. Children have the opportunity to do high-interest activities such as planting seeds, indoor obstacle courses, exploring with sensory trays, outdoor scavenger hunts, creating "fossils," (I could go on and on) that all connect to learning new things. Learning should be fun, and that truly seems to be the theme at OSW. Parents receive frequent, clear communication via email. We always have the information we need to prepare our child for her time at OSW. During the pandemic, OSW has provided clear guidance and policies to maintain the safety of all families and staff. They have gone to great lengths to ensure the center complies with CDC/VDH regulations (i.e. new air purification system, all children and teachers wear masks, proper distancing, etc). Other considerations: children are provided with breakfast and lunch at school each day. This is a huge time-saver and stress-reliever for us. They have access to a huge, fenced-in playground with lots of nice, age-appropriate equipment. I am pretty sure they have part-time enrollment options as well as full-time. The center is relatively small compared to other daycares, and this seems to allow our child to make friends easily and receive plenty of attention from teachers. Even though parents can't chat much with staff during drop-off and pick-up due to the pandemic, they still feel like family to us. For us, the most important thing is that our child feels safe and happy at "school," and Our Small World makes that happen. 100% recommend!"
"I cannot say enough good things about Our Small World (OSW). Our 2 children have been there for almost 2 years now. The teachers, classmates and their families are a 2nd family to us. I love that it is a smaller preschool, each age has a classroom with no more than 8 kids. This provides a great balance of personalized attention while also creating relationships and social skills, so important at this age. The teachers care deeply for each child and take extra care to ensure they get what they need. They have a great curriculum, building strong foundational skills leading up to Kindergarten Readiness. The lesson plans include really fun hands-on activities; planting their very own garden, doing scavenger hunts in nature, and building crafts and exploring space themes - just to name a few! They also foster an inclusive environment and ensure diverse representation in the content used in their lessons. There is a fantastic fenced-in outdoor playground with safe equipment and they ensure opportunities to get outside and get bodies moving as long as the weather permits. Over this past year with the global pandemic, it has really bonded our community in a whole new way. The director of this preschool went above and beyond to ensure the school, staff and families were being safe and taking proper precautions. This has been such an incredibly hard year for so many, and OSW saved us in so many ways. We don't know what we would do without this school and the associated community."
"Our Small World is a sweet, nurturing daycare that my son has called home for the past 2 years. The teachers are like a little family and love the kiddos. There is a big spacious playground that my son adores. They have taken COVID-safety and cleanliness seriously, which I really appreciate. The staff is lovely to deal with and have always helped however they can (helping my son get to his speech therapy sessions on time, random other logistical stuff that comes up). I’ve felt very lucky to have happened upon this daycare and have no regrets. We love OSW!"
