“What can I say about Peace Preschool? Peace is truly a hidden gem in the Charlotte community! The school has created an environment that allows children the thrive, to learn, to grow and help children become incredible little people.
Not only does Peace help them learn their letters and their colors, it supports them to be kind, thoughtful and independent. As a Mom, I am so grateful for the knowledgeable, caring and supportive director and teachers, who always put both the families and children in the Peace community first!
You know they are doing something right when your children want to go to school on Saturdays!”

“My children have attended Peace since they were both 18 months old. In that time, they have experienced more love and nurturing than I could ever have imagined. My daughter just turned 5 and she is already reading and can count to 100.
Peace is not designed to be a regimented school. It is a place where children can feel safe to explore and play, which is how they learn best.
My kids ask to go to school and are disappointed when there is a break. The staff is phenomenal and loves each child as though they are their own. The director, Norma, has done an incredible job putting together a staff of individuals that are wonderful with all the children, but really have specialized strengths with the age they teach.
As a parent we are never real sure what is “typical” with our child’s development. I love that I can always talk to the teacher or just stop by the main office to talk it out. As a stay at home mom, I have found great comfort in Peace. Not only for my children, but for myself. Norma has designed the school to be not only open to the children, but to the parents. I have met some of my greatest friendships through this school. I will forever be grateful for Peace.”

"Peace Preschool has been an integral part of our children’s intellectual, social, and emotional development. Our daughter and son have attended since infancy, and the teachers there prepared our daughter for a successful and easy transition to kindergarten. Our son is enjoying his last year at the school. At Peace, learning is fun and exciting, and our children have both asked at times if they could “go to school on the weekend” even while they attend five days a week! As parents, it is delightful to see the smiles on their faces as they enter and leave the classroom each school day. All of the teachers and the director care deeply about each child, and they respect their individual strengths and work with them on their weaknesses. The small size of the school fosters a strong sense of community and makes it easy for parents and teachers to communicate about the children. Peace Preschool has been a solid foundation for our children’s learning and a blessing to our entire family!"

"Peace Preschool is a wonderful place to send your children! Our daughter attended the preschool for three years at ages 2, 3, & 4, and she was given a very nurturing environment with happy and loving teachers! She learned to play well with all of the children in her classroom and she gained a sound inner confidence of being safe away from mommy and daddy. The teachers gave openly from their hearts and it showed in how the children felt when they returned home each day. Our daughter learned many, many, things from the alphabet to manners to friendship, and was well prepared for Kindergarten! Please consider Peace Preschool for your children!"

"About 3.5 years ago, I walked into Miss Norma's office ready to enroll my daughter. I was nervous about sending my almost 3 year old off to preschool. I felt a sense of "peace" when I left. I did the right thing.
The staff is warm & fuzzy, the rooms are colorful, fun and CLEAN! The teaching techniques are unique and make learning enjoyable. My daughter has an AMAZING preschool experience as did I. I met friends that I will have for a long time. My daughter is in the 1st grade and still talks about Peace and all of the wonderful things she did.
My son is in his 2nd year and has 1 more to go. He is crazy about it.
The best thing I have ever done for my children was walking into Miss Norma's office."

"We have been at Peace Preschool since 2006 with our daughter, and coming from a larger preschool environment, we felt she received much more individualized attention and was much happier with Peace than we could have ever imagined. Children learn through play and this is evident at Peace. Not only did our daughter learn, but was always taught by caring and kind teachers.
The appropriate responses to sharing, caring, playing, and socialization parents look for in pre-school were very evident at Peace. Our daughter was so happy to go to school on a daily basis she would barely kiss us goodbye, which made leaving easier. She was so proud of all of the projects and activities she did there, it made us feel great about being involved with Peace.
We found the staff there to be excellent caretakers and were extremely happy with how well prepared she is to enter kindergarten. Having an older child, we know what to expect with kindergarten. It was also very easy to meet other parents and become as involved as you want to be with numerous events throughout the year.
If you are looking for a wonderful, loving, and always fun preschool environment including academics, caring, love, sharing, and many more valuable life lessons we as parents are always trying to teach our children on a daily basis, then Peace Preschool is most definitely the place for you."

"We would like to thank you for everything you did for our daughter, Sakura. Her days at Peace Preschool have passed so quickly, as she really enjoyed being there. As English was not her mother's language, we were questionable about Sakura attending a preschool. However, you blew away such concerns with hugs.
Sakura has grown up to be an amazing little girl. You really helped her to grow that way. We are so proud of our decision to have Sakura at Peace Preschool.
Jeana, also enjoyed being with you, as we had no relatives to rely on. You were the mother to all of us. We still remember the first day we visited the preschool. We saw a mother hugging you and crying. I think she was about to leave, moving away. Unfortunately, now it is our turn to shed the tears, as we must return home to Japan. Please continue the way you are now! Hugs and kisses, always."
