We decided to start our journey with Challenger because our daughter's best friend went there, and we didn't know what to expect. The level of education our little preschooler has already received in the last six months is incredible! Every day we hear new songs and concepts, she loves to role play her teachers, and we see her skills develop rapidly. Her teachers are wonderful and the staff is incredibly approachable and responsive.

My son has been attending this school for 4 months now and I am exceptionally pleased with his developmental growth and progression. Everyday my son is so proud to show me his work.  Ms Geeta, Mrs. Harper, Mr. Danielson, Miss Anita, and Miss Niaz are all wonderful! The teachers are very nurturing, trustworthy, friendly, kind, honest and teach their curriculum in a fun, age appropriate manner. As a result, the children are very well behaved, kind to one another and attentive during learning time. This has been by far the best school my son has attended in terms of quality of care.

A great school, teaching children what is important and getting results from their methods. Children will gain high self esteem as they learn.

My son attended Challenger for PreK and K and he absolutely loved going to school everyday. He has learned so much there compared to my daughter who was in public school for K. The teachers are wonderful and they do amazing job of teaching these young kids so much in just 1 year. They not only focus on academics but also have fascinating art projects done in class.

Fantastic school. Amazing curriculum after one year has my 4 and 6 year old kids years ahead of their peers at other schools.
