Parent Testimonials

Nothing speaks louder than the words of happy parents!

Here’s what some of our Green Beans families have to say about us.

Both of our kids have been at Green Beans Preschool for the past 7.5 years, and now both have graduated! From start to finish, Green Beans has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is warm, professional, and truly committed to the children’s growth and happiness. We’ve loved everything about our experience, convenient drop-off and pick-up, engaging learning programs, music, language development, and more. The fact that they provide healthy breakfasts, snacks, and lunches gave us so much peace of mind knowing our kids were well cared for every day. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Green Beans has had on our family and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a nurturing, well-rounded preschool.

Chris Josh Happy Parent

Green Beans Preschool is awesome! We moved back to the States from Switzerland and Miss Louise and her staff made the transition seamless and easy as possible. My daughter often had separation anxiety before attending Green Beans and hasn’t had it since. She loved going there every day and it made her realize how loving and reliable good teachers can be. I would highly recommend Green Beans Preschool if you want the experience of a preschool that sparks and supports kids’ curiosity while feeling as comfortable as home.

Andrea Oettinger Happy Parent

As first-time daycare parents, we were nervous about leaving our 18-month-old, but Louise and her team at Green Beans immediately put our worries to rest. Our daughter has thrived under their care, quickly picking up new words, phrases and skills we hadn't seen at home. The nurturing environment has been perfect for her development and confidence. We honestly wish we had started here sooner! For any parents considering daycare options, we cannot recommend GB enough! Louise and her staff give individual attention, love, and care to each student and we can't thank them enough!
