The Compass School

Our daughter's time at the Compass school is coming to an end, but it's been a great 4 years for her there! We moved her out of another place when she was a baby, and are glad because this was the best possible outcome that we could have imagined. The class structure and activities have been perfect for her, the staff has been very caring and knowledgeable, and there was little-to-no turnover during this period. The management and staff are great to work with, are very engaging, and all seem to be very happy working there. Highly recommend!

We could not love Compass more. We moved our children to Compass from a school closer to Dayton a few months ago. Our toddler and preschooler both love going to this school. The teachers and administrators were amazing during the transition, which was particularly difficult for our younger son, who was experiencing some separation anxiety at the time. His teachers did such a wonderful job with him that, now, he asks for his main teacher at all hours of the day and is constantly reciting the names of his friends in class. He truly seems happy and well taken care of. Our older son also comes home every day with wonderful stories about what he has learned about colors, Spanish, art, letters and counting. I can also tell that his teacher is very focused on providing him with positive guidance and a nurturing environment based on how he reacts to difficult situations at home and how he interacts with his little brother. Every day on the drive to school, both of my boys erupt into ABCs and songs they learned at school and seem excited to attend. We could not be happier about the education and care they receive at Compass and highly recommend it!

We loved The Compass School from the moment we walked in. Our son started as an 8 week old infant and has thrived in the infant, toddler, and preschool rooms. Our 2nd child will start in a few months. The teachers are great, and always open to working with us on schedules, development goals, etc. Everyone is extremely friendly and obviously enjoys working with the kids and families. We love the Parents Night Out and all of the other family events that the school holds throughout the year. It does not feel like a "daycare" and more like a second home. It has been a great experience.

Compass is not your typical "day care" program. I have had a child attending the school for the past 8 years... the environment is warm, loving, and engaging for the children. The majority of the teachers at the school have been there for several years and really understand the needs of the children, and the parents. The teaching style (reggio) is hands-on and child driven/teacher directed. In addition to a primary teacher, there are weekly specialty programs such as art, Spanish, and music to further inspire the students. Indicative to the uniqueness of this program, the children and families are also very diverse, bringing additional broadening and exposure to the classroom that you just don't get everywhere. Parents/family are regularly welcomed to participate in activities, field trips, and school-wide events creating a community of individuals that support each other and their children. Being a working professional mom, I was so thankful to have found the Compass School and know that my children's well-being, education, and development have greatly benefited by the choice to send them there during their early years.

We have both of our children at The Compass School and have experienced the Infant, Toddler and Pre-School classrooms. We couldn't be happier with the environment and learning that our children experienced from day one! The facility encourages learning through exploration and the atmosphere is very welcoming and family friendly. This has been a wonderful experience for our children to make great connections with their classmates and for us as parents to make great connections with the other families in the school!
