Toluca Crossroads School

Our son started here when he was 6 months old, in the baby room. They have a great teacher-​to-​child ratio (about 5 babies under 1 with 1 – 2 teachers). He is now in the 1 – 2 year old room and every day I am amazed at how much he knows. We both work full time so most of my son’s waking hours are spent here; the fact that they are actively teaching him both typical school things and social skills is apparent. He is now 16 months old and says more than 35 words, points to more than 50 different things, signs «more» and is a great sharer. The teachers have been caring while promoting independence and discipline, which is great when you have a toddler. The school goes up to first grade, and they have a reading program that begins as early as 3 years old, if your child is up for it. The preschool also does little science projects, and the recess area has a vegetable garden. My son LOVES going to school and we can’t wait to see how much he grows and learns as he continues here.

After recently moving to the area, I began to look for a preschool for my two kids. After checking out
, I called to book a tour. I was lead by the director who was very informative and answered each and every question I had. I was impressed with how clean the place looked and how happy the children seemed. Mostly I was impressed with the kindergarten reading program that they have. It sounds amazing! I can’t wait for my little ones to be in Kindergarten class at Toluca.

My daughter has been going to Toluca Crossroads for two years and we could not be happier. The staff are easy to interact with, are clearly invested in the children, and encourage input and involvement from the parents. My daughter is always happy to go to school and it is apparent that she is learning a great deal in her classroom. The curriculum is well balanced and she has even be taking Spanish classes once a week. Her teacher issues daily reports to let us know how her day went. Their hours are very accommodating for working parents and we cannot recommend it enough.

I’m thrilled to have my child at such an amazing school. All the teachers are friendly and helpful, and take great care off the kids. My child’s teacher is Laura, she is amazing and just the best 2 year old teacher ever!!! I’m excited for my daughter to continue on at this school through kindergarten so she can benefit from their specialized reading program. The school has a wonderful director, whose love of children is very apparent. In the last year I have seen some very nice changes, a lovely canopy for shade outback A beautiful new floor in one of the classrooms to name a few. This school is really a treasure and worth checking out.

My husband and I spent a lot of time researching online, asking other parents and physically visiting many pre-​schools before deciding on Toluca Crossroads. What drew us there was not only the friendliness of the staff and the homey feeling of the facility, but the exceptional reading program for Pre K students. We also liked the security offered. They just put in a new security gate and have done a lot of remodeling to make a safer environment for a little ones.
After being on the waiting list about 6 months (without a deposit in advance, as many schools require) my son started part time just before his third birthday and loves it. The staff is friendly, helpful, caring and nurturing for to both the children and parents. He loves his teacher, Ms. Leo and looks forward to coming to school (asking when the next day is, since he only goes twice a week). He brings home lots of art and worksheets, so I know he’s learning! He also sings songs that he’s been learning at school and teaches them to me! I always feel welcome there, never in the way if I want to hang around a few minutes to push my son on the tire swing (his favorite thing for me to do before leaving). All in all, we made a good choice!

I recently took the tour of this facility/​school. When i arrived i wasn’t able to find immediate parking, the school is on a busy street and there wasn’t an assigned parent drop off pick up parking spot. When i approached the security gate it was jammed and allowed me to just walk in. That was a huge red flag for me.
I continued with the tour led by the director, who by first impression seemed like she was rushing me and my questions and has an unprofessional appearance. I questioned things like the teachers educational background and the question was not answered and more like «redirected».
The bulletin boards that are displayed around the school and classrooms are teacher made and not the childrens work.
i observed the children using dittos, even the 2’s and 3 yr olds. I did not see any hands on or creative activities.
My child enjoys books and i noticed that the reading corner in the rooms had torn books and character themed like mickey mouse, not age appropriate!!!
my overall opinion is that, this school is not a progressive or creative fun environment but more like a daycare. non nurturing.

My daughter has attended Toluca Crossroads since she was the age of 2. She is now a 1^st grader at the school and i could not be happier about the development and education the wonderful staff at Toluca Crossroads has extended. Kind, Courteous and Professional People that go above and beyond there job requirements to guide the kids in there day care and the kids that are students… I am sad that i can not continue with them beyond 1^st grade. Thank you to all of the Staff members and Educators on behalf of me and my entire family.
