We had a wonderful experience at The Griffin Academy. We found the teachers to be energetic, engaging, loving, and knowledgable. Our daughter continues to talk about her year at The Griffin Academy. She was more than ready for kindergarten - in all areas of development.

video profiles
We currently have two children enrolled at The Griffin Academy. The teachers are both kind and motivating and the school's director happily makes the time for any questions we may have. It's wonderful the way my children come home excited to share the day's experiences. Whether it be bringing home a new picture they painted in art class, something new they learned on that day's field trip, or just something funny that happened on the playground between friends. After much research on preschools in the area, we couldnt be happier we chose The Griffin Academy.
