I just called ABC Child Care to inquire about their Preschool 1/2 day programs. Natalie was extremely nice and gave me my options for either M/W/F or Th/Th. She said the next preschool opening/start would be June 11 but I could actually start my 4yo at anytime. I was excited to et my child enrolled in the next couple of days and was going to decide with M/W/F or T/Th but I forgot to ask about the pricing for the T/Th so I called back and another lady answered the phone. She told me the prices but then proceeded to tell me there were no openings for M/W/F until August and gave me a lecture on the PreK ages and cutoffs (which I already knew). I asked why Natalie (who was very nice) told me one thing and this person was telling me another about the M/W/F/ June 11 start availability. She came off as very rude. I would have be open to a T/Th program but will not be enrolling my child here based on this person's attitude and lack of customer service. I just don't like being told one thing and 30 seconds later a different thing, plus being spoken to in a condescending manner put me off.

An amazing environment for children, clean and well maintained facility, friendly and caring staff. The curriculum is well rounded, and the hands on learning opportunities are wide ranging, with weekly special events like Hawaiian Dancers, Snow day, tooth fairy visit etc. This preschool is absolutely the best!

I love this school. I looked for about six months before deciding which school to enroll my 2 year old son in. The first time I pulled into the parking lot of ABC Solana, I had a good feeling. I must say, every day when I walk into the school to drop off my son I have that same good feeling. The school is warm and welcoming with just enough structure and discipline. The kids know they are loved by their teachers and even though the teachers are tired at the end of the day, you can tell they love what they do - along with the entire staff. It is a very loving and supportive environment for everyone that walks through their doors. I would recommend this school to anyone a million times over and dread the day that my son won't be able to go there anymore. Absolutely a great school. I'm so glad I found it.

My 3 yr old loves his teachers and staff. I even find time to hangout in the class just to see him play, communicate and develop. There are pros and cons for me.
PROS:
This is a child-care center not a school. Manners are taught, lots of repetition, art daily, lunch & snacks provided, fruit trees all over the school so kiddos can eat, class cameras, late night care till 10pm(extra $, but worth it), separate cozy room set up for sick kiddos (extra $) in case you can't get the day off, your bigger kiddos can be dropped off/picked up to local schools in case you can't, owners are always there (lovely folks), they host family events throughout the year, 2 personal cooks make fantastic healthy lunches low in sugar and fat with veggies in their very own kitchen, outdoor misters for hot days, separated play areas for the different ages, no computers or electronics for the kiddos, and did I mention the super friendly staff from the minute you walk in.
CONS:
Wish this was a bit of a rigorous school with child care involved so our kiddos could be even greater when getting out of this day care. Tons of art time, no late fee excuses- ever!, you can only be excused 2 vacation weeks out of the entire year to not pay (I sometimes have traveling to do with work and even though staff knows that I don't get a $ break for my son not being at school)

I went to ABC for preschool and kindergarten. I am now currently in the 7th grade and I miss them dearly. I'm so happy that the founder of ABC is keeping it open. I recommend this place to anyone, if they want their (kid)s to excell. When I came to the first grade at Buchanan from ABC I was doing very well being advanced in all subjects! ABC will always have a space in my heart and till this day I still remember the fun events we had. Keep it up ABC!
