We absolutely love Jahbi, Vanessa, and the Perigee Preschool. Our son has been enrolled for year plus now (starting when he was 8 months old) and absolutely loves it. It’s a Montessori and Reggio approach. Jahbi starts each day with circle time and/or workflow for the kiddos. Circle time leads into healthy snacks, followed by some outdoor time (most days, weather permitting), naps, and more developmentally appropriate, educational activities thereafter. It’s the perfect routine for our little one. And we receive updates (and photos) about all of it throughout each day via Brightwheel, along with ideas for similar activities to implement at home. Jahbi also tailors her program to support the specific needs of each kiddo, which we love and appreciate. For our little, she has purchased specific toys/exercises to help with specific skills. We find so much comfort in knowing that our babe is safe, comfortable, and loved. We highly recommend the Perigee!

Jahbi is an incredible educator and child care provider! She provides the kids with a stimulating enviornment where they can play, learn, and grow! Our son has attended the Perigee for almost a year now and he is so excited to go to school each day! We feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing place to send our child each day. I recommend the Perigee for everyone!

We've been sending our child to Jahbi's full-time since he was five months old. We feel like we lucked out so much and jokingly say he goes to the best school ever! Jahbi is enthusiastic about the kids milestones, interacts with them so warmly, and puts an incredible amount of thought into the lesson plans and activities the kids do. I love receiving photos from school of my kiddo having new experiences - doing an art project, playing music, going to the park in a wagon, or standing at the light table. Jahbi also sends the photos with developmental milestone information. Our kiddo is 1 now and I feel like he's so excited to go off to school each day. He learned his first word at school and it was so cute!!!! The only tough thing is currently the hours are 8:45am - 5pm which does compact the workday a bit. That said, if you can make it work it will be totally worth it!! If anyone has questions about the best school in the world let me know!
