We’ve had a truly positive experience at Challenger Middlefield Preschool, and I’m so happy we chose this school for our son. The environment is warm, well-organized, and focused on both learning and social development. He looks forward to going to school every day, which gives us a lot of peace of mind as parents. Ms. Azita and Ms. Melissa are wonderful teachers who genuinely care about their students. They are patient, attentive, and great at communicating with families. We’ve seen real growth in our son's confidence, independence, and enthusiasm for learning since he started here. It’s clear the teachers put a lot of heart into what they do, and it shows in how happy and engaged the kids are. We highly recommend Challenger Middlefield Preschool to any family looking for a supportive and high-quality preschool experience.

We have had a very positive experience with Challenger Middlefield School Campus thus far. Our daughter started in the 4s class in August 2025, and we have seen her grow and thrive since then, both academically and socially. We have noticed meaningful improvements in her habits, confidence, and public speaking skills. We are so glad that this school has been such a wonderful fit for our daughter and our family. The management is attentive, and the day to day operations of the school are efficiently run. Every staff member we have interacted with across various roles has been extremely professional, caring, and approachable. One thing we truly appreciate is how most of the staff know every child by name, which speaks volumes about the sense of community at the school. Ms. Sharon, the Director of Elementary, has been exceptional and is always on top of things. She has consistently been responsive to our questions and has treated even the smallest questions or suggestions with importance. On multiple occasions, she has followed up to close the loop, which we truly appreciate. Two months in, I noticed my daughter was almost always sweating during her naps and when I brought it up, Ms. Sharon worked with Ms.Madhu and Ms.Nupur to help my daughter feel comfortable and they followed up few times in the next couple weeks to make sure it was taken care of. Ms. Sharon has also called me directly to answer some of the generic questions I had emailed over to their school's generic email. It is reassuring to see a management team that is diligent in making things smooth for both kids and parents. From the initial school tour to the enrollment process and our daughter’s transition into the school, every step has been handled professionally. As with any organization, there were a couple of minor hiccups along the way, but the team was always responsive, communicative, and quick to resolve issues, typically within a day or two. Ms. Madhu and Ms. Nupur have been wonderful teachers and have played a major role in making our daughter’s transition so smooth. They give students a strong sense of belonging and create an environment where children feel seen and supported. They provide the space for students to grow and learn while being warm, consistent, and intentional about discipline, teaching boundaries in a way that is respectful and age appropriate. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to going to school every day, which says everything.

We are very pleased with our son’s kindergarten journey at Challengers Middlefield school. The curriculum is excellent and has helped him develop strong reading skills, especially in English. He can now read complex words with confidence. He is a shy child by nature, but the teachers Miss Tamy and Miss Sharma have done a wonderful job nurturing his confidence. He now enjoys participating in group activities and performances without fear. We truly appreciate the teachers patience, encouragement, and commitment to every child’s growth. Highly recommend this school!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with the 3-year-old program at Challenger Middlefield. Ms Rebekkah, Miss Namita and other preschool teachers are kind, patient, and truly understand how to support children at this age. The classroom is warm, engaging, and structured in a way that helps the children feel safe while encouraging independence and curiosity. The program offers a great balance of play, learning, and social development. My child has made so much progress with skills, routines, and self reliance. We especially appreciate Miss Sharon, the director, who is supportive, approachable, and clearly dedicated to creating a positive environment for both the children and families. Her leadership truly shows in the quality of the program. She also creates a very fun and real world learning experience with all her special events and decorations. We highly recommend this program to any family looking for a nurturing and positive preschool environment.
