GoGo is truly an incredible preschool teacher, and we cannot say enough good things about her. She is endlessly patient and always brings a positive, can-do attitude into the classroom. She plans such fun and creative activities, and we’ve seen a huge improvement in our child’s fine motor skills—Our son is always excited about the new themes she introduces and genuinely looks forward to school. GoGo was also a huge help during potty training and consistently offered the best advice and encouragement. She fosters confidence and resilience in the kids, setting them up for a smooth transition to elementary school, and she’s wonderful at playing to each child’s strengths—Our son loves books, and she always makes sure there are new ones available for him. On top of all that, she keeps a great variety of foods on hand and maintains consistent nap routines, which we truly appreciate. We absolutely love her and feel so lucky to have had her as our teacher!
Choosing Holding Hands has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our son. He started just before turning two, and the growth we’ve seen since then has been incredible. He picked up English quickly and truly thrived in such a warm and supportive environment. Gogo, the teacher, brings so much creativity into her work. She constantly introduces new themes that inspire imagination and curiosity. Every time you walk into the classroom, it feels refreshed and exciting, and it’s clear how much care she puts into everything she does. Also, he classroom is really clean and no shoe policy. Our kid does not get sick as much as he did in other places. The daily videos she shares help us feel connected to our child’s day and have taught us a lot about how to support him at home. The meals are another highlight—healthy, shared by all, and enjoyed by even the pickiest eaters. Outdoor time is also a big priority, which we really value. After trying two larger daycares, nothing compares to the care and creativity at Holding Hands.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably searching for a great place for your little one. We were in the same position not too long ago. When you first become a parent, you don’t always realize how challenging it can be to find a quality daycare (or maybe I was just naïve). After extensive research, we found a few places we liked, toured their facilities, and joined their waitlists. Even now—two years later—we still haven’t heard back from some of them. My wife eventually came across Holding Hands and scheduled an appointment with Gogo, the owner. We were able to bring our son, see how he interacted with Gogo, and get a feel for the facility. We immediately liked what we saw and everything Holding Hands offered—especially breakfast, which has been a huge time saver for us. We’ve been with Gogo for about a year and a half now, and our son has grown tremendously. The patience and care Gogo provides are truly exceptional. Our son has made great friends and even better memories. I especially love the daily videos of the kids and seeing what they’re learning throughout the day. They help me feel connected to my son, especially on long office days. Thank you, Gogo!
I cannot speak highly enough of Holding Hands preschool. I tell GoGo every day when I drop my daughter off that she is the best and I truly mean it. The care, thoughtfulness and attention to detail of the Montessori inspired curriculum is evident by the changing themes every two weeks to the arts and crafts that our daughter would bring home weekly. GoGo provides a breakfast, lunch and a snack featuring organic ingredients to her students (included in the tuition) which is a huge plus and has seamlessly incorporated vegetarian meals. You also get daily picture and video updates! Holding Hands Preschool is a safe, loving and enriching environment for kids to learn and start friendships.
My twin 3yo girls have been at Holding Hands Preschool for almost a year, and they are very happy there. The small group environment is ideal because each child gets the attention they need, and the kids have become great friends with each other. I appreciate the level of detail Gozde (Gogo) puts into her curriculum, meal planning, and updates throughout the day. She has also played an instrumental role in getting the girls fully potty trained, which has been a huge help for our family. I know my girls are having an enriching experience, and I highly recommend Holding Hands.
