Danielle Vanase · 5/5 on Google · a year agoI can't talk about this place enough! They give kids a safe place to learn, explore, and grow the way kids deserve. My son was there for two years and we're honestly sad that he will be moving on to kindergarten in the fall. We'd keep him there through elementary school if that was an option! Thank you, White Barn, for giving my son exactly what he needed to have the best Pre-K experience!
Bethany Staiti · 5/5 on Google · a year agoWe love White Barn! The building is beautiful and set up for little people to explore and play. The multiple outdoor spaces - wooded trail, garden area, chicken coop are clean, well maintained and great for outdoor learning and play! Our child loved the outdoor play in all weather. The staff are kind, communicative and committed to meeting each child where they are at to ensure they have a great experience.
Emily Ring · 5/5 on Google · 3 years agoOur daughter absolutely loves being outside! This school has been amazing for her and we've already seen the great impact this will have on her. The all inclusive, no one left behind mentality really vibed with me. As someone that had a lot of medical issues growing up, I got picked on often, so I love the message they are teaching the kids here. Plus all the fresh air and learning in nature aa you go is the way it…
