I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school and especially about Danae and Mayra. The love, patience, and dedication they show every single day have made such a positive impact on my daughter’s life. She absolutely loves them and looks forward to going to school because of the caring and supportive environment they create. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Thank you, Danae and Mayra, for the incredible work you do and for making such a difference in my daughter’s growth and happiness. We are so grateful for everything you do!

This review is only reviewing Ms. Angy & Ms. Pilar. Ms. Angy has been one of the best daycare teachers I have come across and I have had three children go through the daycare system. She genuinely cares for the children and their emotional development. She works with parents to make sure their children reach milestones (potty training, etc.) and reassures me whenever I leave my son and he is crying. Ms. Angy is super involved in making sure the children think and express themselves creatively and my son has come home with so much knowledge and emotional intelligence. Ms. Pilar is an amazing helper to Ms. Angy, they both lead with love and compassion. Ms. Pilar will always update me on my son's progress and she enjoys seeing the children having fun as much as the parents do. I love the picture updates I receive throughout my son's day and how they continually engaged the children in so many cooking/artistic activities. I couldn't have picked two better teachers for my toddler!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this school. Mrs. Mimi and Mrs. Ela are truly exceptional teachers who go above and beyond to provide the care, love, and support my child needs. They’ve helped foster a genuine love for learning, which has been amazing to see. Their patience and kindness made a lasting impact on both of us. The kindergarten curriculum is also incredibly unique—very hands-on and engaging, while consistently encouraging curiosity and growth. I’m so grateful for the positive environment they’ve created. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching place for their child.

We couldn’t be happier with this pre-school. From the moment we enrolled our children, we felt a true sense of care, trust, and professionalism. We currently have both of our kids there, one in the Toddler class and one in the Twos and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The staff goes above and beyond, not only providing a safe and nurturing environment, but also genuinely loving and supporting each child. The teachers are exceptional: Mrs. Marcia, Gaby, Angie, and Pilar are all incredibly patient, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping the kids learn and grow. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and that makes all the difference. Our children are always happy to go, and that gives us so much peace of mind as parents. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do every day. Highly recommend to any family looking for a place where their children will be cared for like family

FSIA has been such a wonderful experience for our family. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students and provide a positive, nurturing learning environment. My child has grown so much academically and socially since attending. FSIA’s use of the VESS Curriculum is outstanding. It truly encourages critical thinking, independence, and confidence in children. My child has grown so much socially and academically thanks to this approach. The school is always clean, organized, and very family-friendly. We love the strong communication, fun activities, and the warm atmosphere. Highly recommend FSIA to any parent looking for a safe and supportive school.
