Great Job!
Before my child started Carolyn Stokes, he was not fully potty trained and he did not yet know how to spell his name. Within the first couple of months, my child is now fully potty trained and he can spell and identify the letters of his name. Great Job!!!

Carolyn Stokes Day Nursery is an excellent preschool!
They do an amazing job preparing children for public school. I love the fact that the staff is so family oriented. If you’re looking for a place that you can trust your little one with, that’s also going to prepare them for the next step- Carolyn Stokes is hands down the best place for your child. If I had to do it all over again it would without a doubt, be at Carolyn Stokes.

I loooove Carolyn Stokes Preschool!
My son attended for 2 years and now my daughter attends. The staff treats the students and their families like family. My son is now in first grade but STILL talks about how much he loves CSP. We’re forever grateful for Carolyn Stokes.

This school is the bomb!
I’ve had two children come out of here. When the first went to school, she was reading and was more advanced than the other children her age. She’s in the third grade now and still making the honor roll. I recommend this school to everyone. The curriculum and activities are excellent! It makes the kids want to learn! Compared to any other, this school is NUMBER 1!
