Raising Stars Preschool - Vernon, British Columbia

I am so very happy that we found Raising Stars Preschool for my son! Every staff member is extremely helpful with every child that walks through their doors. All staff and children are always smiling and you can tell it is a happy and safe environment. I don’t trust a lot of people with my child but this preschool I do! They send pictures & videos (privately & safely) throughout the day to show all the adventures and everytime there’s photos/videos EVERY child is smiling and laughing. Their educational practice is perfect for all types of children and they have staff there that specialize and have gone through school for children on the spectrum, I can attest to that! I am constantly recommending Raising Stars Preschool to all my friends with children and even adults when they ask about my son and school because they know our situation. Everyone is always amazed with what I have to say because it’s not common for a preschool to do and to be open with everything that is happening. Their pricing as well is extremely affordable! It shocked me because I was expecting it to be so much money from what I’ve heard from other parents that have their children in different schools and when I was originally looking around. All together, I love it here and you will too!!

Best preschool ever !! Raising stars has far exceeded any and all of my expectations throughout the 3 years my child has been enrolled here. They go above and beyond in all aspects of the care, education and adventure they provide. The environment is warm and welcoming and my child has cultivated lasting relationships with the educators and fellow students. My child’s confidence has grown exponentially since being there and it has been a joy to witness all the milestones she’s met, and I know raising stars has been a huge contribution to her growth. We will be so sad when our time with raising stars is done but will be sure to visit because we just love them all so very much !

My oldest son, who was diagnosed with autism, attended Raising Stars Preschool for two years before starting kindergarten. Now, his younger brother Ethan currently attends Raising Stars while we await an autism assessment for him as well.

Throughout the years, Samantha and her team have gone above and beyond to support both of my children with unwavering patience, compassion, and understanding. They’ve created a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where my boys have been able to learn, grow, and feel genuinely accepted.

I feel grateful to have found such a great preschool with a wonderful team that eases my anxious mind!

The environment Raising Stars Preschool provides is truly a home away from home. I am continually impressed with their attention to detail when it comes to each child’s individual needs as well as encouraging them to complete independent tasks within their ability. My daughter has been in attendance since September and absolutely loves it. She is quite shy, but I have seen her confidence grow immensely and has quickly made friends with all of her classmates (and teachers too!). Every day she looks forward to the different activities the teachers plan and comes home excited to tell me about her day. I can’t say enough amazing things about Raising Stars! Thank you Samantha for all of your hard work 🙂

My son has attended Raising Stars for two years and I wish he could remain there for the duration of his academic years.
The moment you walk inside, you're welcomed by a friendly atmosphere and greeted by a clean, organized, fun environment filled with singing, laughter, and the occasional dinosaur sounds. All of Ms. Sewell's staff members make you feel as if you are part of a big family, and they sincerely care for all the children in attendance, even siblings who come for drop-off or pick-up. They really go above in beyond in keeping our children safe through safety measures such as; a strict sign in/out program, secure door access, and regular fire drills. They share fire drill times through a secure APP which only family and staff have access to and also includes pictures and event updates.During the course of his preschool experience, Ms. Ziola has had a positive influence on my son's social delevopment, his confidence, and his potty training skills. Because of the staff's support, he has really come out of his shell and is fully prepared for kindergarten.
Thank you so much Raising Stars team! You are all so amazing! I appreciate the impact you have made not only on my son but on our family as a whole!

Our son is completing his second year at Raising Stars and he absolutely loves it there! We had a hesitant start in the first year with my son being on the shy side but Sam and her team were welcoming and accommodating with my son and now he loves going! I really enjoy how they structure the days in the school and the different activities they do within the community too. They have preschool and daycare options so its great for working families. I always feel secure leaving my son there and we will miss them when he goes to kindergarten. If you're looking for an clean, safe, inclusive space, especially if your child needs accommodations, then I highly recommend Raising Stars!

the facility is truly a magical and safe space for all the children to learn and grow into their unique selves. the staff are so patient and caring. the first time i had the privilege of touring the facility, it was clean and bright, and had all these special touches that allowed for home/family familiarity, inclusivity, and individualized comforts. each space was so well thought out from layout, to learning objects and toys, and age appropriateness. the school even has a special sensory room. The yard is full of wonder, and a safe space for inclusive movement, imaginative play, and learning. They even do kindergarden there! I would highly recommend this space for parents looking for the best!

If you’re looking for an inclusive and supportive preschool with amazing staff Raising Stars is for you! My son has been going here for 3 years and absolutely loves it. Sam and Ms.Papou have been so great with my son and he has learned so much the last few years. We will be very sad to leave when my son goes into kindergarten. Could not recommend Raising Stars enough!
