What Parents Think

Both my kids (2 & 5 yrs old) transitioned here from a home daycare and couldn't be more happier with our decision. They provide excellent and great care and both enjoy coming here everyday. The staff and owner are very caring and attentive. The facility is clean and they provide on-site cooked meals. I recommend this place in a heartbeat!

My 3.5 year old joined after we moved and I was worried if she would adjust well. I couldn’t be happier! The teachers are amazing, my daughter is happy, can read, write, speak Polish and she never loses a thing which was an everyday thing at her old daycare. I have zero complaints and look forward to sending my little one here as well

We have been sending our 3yr old daughter here since she was 2yrs old. Ms. Margaret and Ms. Viesha are wonderful and loving teachers who welcomed, nurtured and cared for our daughter. We are very fortunate that she had two teachers that cared for her as if she were their own.

My daughter has learned so many new words and songs since she started back in April.

We love Fantasy Island. The teachers care for the kids with great warmth and affection, the management is organized and responsive, and, most of all, our son, Neven, is always so happy when he comes home. We could not have asked for a better introduction to schooling.

“Fantasy Island is a great school. Staff takes time to get to know the child and the family. They have excellent communication with parents and the teachers build a special bond with each and every child. My son loves going to this school. He enjoys all of the activities and the playful nature of the classrooms that are both educational and fun. As a parent, it gives me relief to know that my child is left in the care of people that he enjoys and likes to be around everyday.

Fantastic Place!!!! This is my son’s third daycare and for sure the last one. The very warm-hearted, patient and caring teachers helped my son went through the hard time at the beginning. After three weeks he completely adjusted to this place. Now he doesn’t want to leave when I pick him up. The school’s nice and clean, classrooms are colorful and kids friendly and there’s a spacious playground. Teachers keep kids busy, there are a lot of activities, my son loves music and art classes. I’m really glad I found this place, I trust these people completely. Finally I can drop off my child and walk out of daycare without a broken heart 🙂

I have visited the Fantasy Island Schools for Kids on several occasions in the last two years. Don’t have my own children there, but am 100 percent sure kids get the best of everything out this home-like, school-like institution. This is definitely one of the best kindergartens I have ever seeing! Keep up the good work folks!
