Giggles & Wiggles Preschool Inc.

"My boys have been at Giggles and Wiggles for all of their preschool and couldn't love it more! Now, if you do not know about play-based education or child-led learning then you need to do your research so you understand the benefits and how this school works. My boys don't sit at desks and learn the alphabet but explore with different senses to learn. They are able to take learning into their own hands. If they want to build a ramp and talk about levers, they can. If they want to pretend to be bakers and gather ingredients and use addition, they can. Kelly and Leah do a great job of teaching the kids while letting them choose how to do their learning. As parents, you have to be willing to help continue the learning at home too. Just like at any other typical school, learning doesn't stop when kids leave the building. I love seeing what my boys have learned that day and how they continue to run with it at home after school hours. They are always full of questions and wanting to discover the answers on their own first. Kelly is great when answering all my questions or addressing any concerns I have with my children. Plus, she is continuously pursuing her own learning and bringing it back to better the school as well. I could not be happier with our choice of preschool and sending all of my kids to Giggles and Wiggles for their early education. The only downfall is that it is only preschool because I'd send them longer if I could!"

"I do not recommend this preschool if you are wanting your child to learn and get ready for Kindergarten. I love the idea of play based learning, but when all they do is play and forget about the learning then it is basically a daycare. My son went for a school year and learned nothing except recognizing his name in writting. They didn't work on colors, shapes, reconizing numbers/ letters, or even counting. I was very disappointed and feel that I wasted money on this program. The next year I enrolled him in the county preschool program. It is like night and day. He actually enjoys going to school, has become a sponge and wants to learn! He made leaps and bounds the first few months in a different program. He learned more in the first month in the county program then the entire school year at Giggle and Wiggles. Had there actual been lesson plans and structure for learning at Giggles & Wiggles I think it could be a decent program, but right now it should not be called a preschool because it gives parents false expectations. On a positive note the facility is clean, there was plenty of sensory activities and the children do work on some social behavior."
