Chrysalis Preschool 409 North University Avenue, Provo, UT 84601

"Miss Wendy and her colleagues at Chrysalis Preschool and Kindergarten go above and beyond for the students and families they serve. Wendy, Amber, and Sabrina are the teachers that work most with my kids, and each of these women are exceptionally professional and kind. My kids feel safe, happy, loved, and excited at this school. My kids' artistic, social, reading, musical, and emotional skills have blossomed while attending here—I love that they have the opportunity to paint, read, play, and sing every single day. Having worked as an educator myself, I am blown away by the excellent pedagogy offered here—the curriculum is age appropriate and involves all of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences: logical–mathematical, musical, interpersonal, linguistic, intrapersonal, kinesthetic, spatial, and more. Communication has been great, Wendy is timely in her response and is easy to converse with. She also sends a calendar out via email each month, including details about specific curriculum plans and upcoming activities. It's wonderful. I just can't say enough. This is a fantastic school and I'm so glad my husband and I decided to send our kids here."

"Chrysalis Preschool is absolutely the best preschool in Provo! The school is bright, cheerful, and very inviting. The children adore all the teachers, and the teachers love the children so much. The children learn in a friendly, happy, and exciting environment that makes them want to come back every day. It's a wonderful place for your child!"

"Hands down, the BEST preschool you could take your child to. Miss Wendy loves and cares for each of these precious children. I took all my kids to her and they still remember and love her. You can’t find a better curriculum. They teach a lot through music. Your child will learn to read here and be stimulated more than any other preschool. My child was always a grade ahead with Chrysalis preschool. All the teachers they hire are so kind and caring and genuinely love the kids. I’ve seen them teach in action and would recommend to all my family and friends. Best preschool ever. My children will always remember their years at Chrysalis Preschool and especially dear Miss Wendy. ❤️"

"I was excited to send my son to school there because it looked like a cute school, It was clean, loved the decor. The staff seemed nice. But they don't tell you when you are signing up that you when dropping off or picking up your child you are to remain in your car. They don't wan you getting out at all. This really bothered me. Call me crazy but I like to be able to walk in see my son interacting with all the other kids and teachers. I would like to get to know the other parents and maybe set up play dates. I would like to be involved in my child's pre-school experience. It also made me feel like they were hiding something. I know they said it was for safety, but really? At one point my husband picked up our son saw only one teacher was with all the kids. One little girl opened the gate and ran out. The one teacher left all the other kids alone to chase this one child who had escaped. Why, was there only one teacher? I find this very concerning. I also went to change my son due to him having a potty accident and again only one teacher. My son constantly complained of other kids hitting him and throwing blocks at him. (Kids do that) but when I only see one teacher in a class of 8 to 10 (maybe more) kids, how can she see or respond to things like that. Then when I send a email informing the school that I want to withdraw my son, all I get is a email with a OK thanks bye! Now maybe this last bit is me being a little petty. But it made me realize she didn't care about my son at all. There was never any confrontation, or anything that would cause bad feelings . I just want to know that the people I am leaving my child with care about him also. This lack of care from the school made me feel like they did not care about the kids at all. I am not sure what Utah law is with how many teachers per child but seeing one teacher with that many kids made me worried, and not letting parents out the cars for drop off and pick up, that just seems very iffy to me."

"We have three kids who have attended a total of 10 different preschools across four states. I can say that Chrysalis is undoubtedly the best experience we’ve ever had. There are two criteria for us that we consider when looking for a preschool. 1) Will the teachers sincerely care about and love our child? 2) Will there be a fun and effective curriculum? But this one is a distant second for us compared to #1 Rarely do we find both in the same school. Sometimes we’ll get lucky and find a single teacher somewhere that our child connects with. It’s also relatively easy to find schools with a good curriculum. However, Chrysalis meets both criteria and is probably the best at both that we’ve ever experienced. Miss Sabrina is absolutely perfect and the owner Wendy Ahlman knows her stuff. Because of how great Chrysalis is, our daughter no longer dreads getting ready in the morning. There is no more struggle. She looks forward to it every day. That just makes the day start so much better. We also love seeing the photos on Instagram of all of the cool field trips that the kids take and the special visitors they meet. Thank you sincerely to the entire staff at Chrysalis for making this such a great place!"
