"My husband and I are both public school teachers, with 17 and 20 years experience respectively. After all we have seen and experienced, there was a long list of musts when considering private school for our children. First Impressions Academy checks every box and has exceeded our expectations. This will be our 6th year at FIA and every year we are blown away. The school provides a tight-knit, family feel. Small class sizes ensure that students' individual needs are met and all children get the attention they deserve. The staff is filled with quality, degreed and credentialed teachers who know the content and effective strategies for instruction. It is apparent that the staff loves and cares for the children. The leadership has been amazing since my first encounter, including calming my anxiety about my little one going to preschool. They have an open door policy and I've always felt comfortable talking to them. I am so glad we found FIA six years ago. It truly has been the best experience for our children! I know that no matter where the future may take us, my children have a strong foundation because of First Impressions Academy."

"The Elementary class at this school is completely out of control. There is a child who has been bullying and terrorizing the class for over two years. The school still refuses to take action. Many families have left. Only about 10 children remain from the nearly 20 that were there before. The situation has become unsustainable for the teachers. The new principal has just arrived, and everyone is waiting for him to address this issue immediately before the class is completely emptied. It's a shame because the rest of the staff is wonderful, and the Children's House class was an incredible experience when my son was there."

"Your kids will not excellence here! They will hold your kids back and lower their self esteem and confidence just for additional funding! They will say your child is special needs without testing them or providing additional resources!!!"

"Our kids went for almost 2 Years to GMS until the end of January 2022. Since that many friends that love the Montessori approach kept asking us if it is a school we will recommend. The truth it's that Our children were very happy for a while and still remember their friends and my daughter remembers the teachers, but because issues with the policies and the way the administration handle things we couldn't continue. Was no the place for us. There is more into details but the bottom line it's that every family needs to think well about choosing this school and evaluate what is most important in the education for their children. Making sure the Teacher and the Parents are in same page. That there are not two faces, no matter how it's the situation or differences, instead have love, empathy and understanding for the child first."

"We enrolled our daughter for more than 2 years now. Ms. Jasbir is an exceptional teacher. She and other teachers provide outstanding care and love to all the little kids and help them grow. We are thankful to find this preschool and will recommend to our friends and family."

"Our oldest child attended for 3 years and had a caring teacher in Linda K. However, this year, the director of the school’s lack of transparency and poor communication for important issues that involved our child as well as others has caused me to lose trust in this school. There is a culture of covering up problems from families and bullying when someone brings those issues up to the surface. We will not be sending our younger child to this school."
