    “We selected Buckle My Shoe Preschool while our son was still in utero and it was one of the best decisions we made as “pre-parents”; We saw the environment and team as warm, interactive, thoughtful, and nurturing, and our expectations were met fully. As an extended-day student, we wanted our son to feel that his nursery school was like a second home and BMS has delivered on that. The Reggio Emilia-inspired educational curriculum allowed our son to benefit from an experiential and self-directed learning environment from his first day and throughout his 4+ years at BMS. His teachers at every level have been dedicated, creative, and loving. The administration has been responsive, receptive to our feedback, and welcoming of our ideas. We have made many wonderful friends among the other BMS families. As a Pre-K student about to graduate we marvel at how much our son has grown and advanced as a learner and as a friend to others. We are so proud of him and so thankful

    for everything BMS has given him.” Allison Stark
