Awesome school. My daughter started preschool with MPPS, she was in the summer camp and now she's in kindergarten. She learns so much every day. It is so cool to her vocab; a 5 year old using words like ecstatic. All the teachers and the principal know all the children personally and the owners are great.

My daughter goes to the Pre-School at MPPS. We checked out many, I mean MANY, schools and went with MPPS. It is definitely one of the best schools around. The curriculum is excellent.

As parents of a 3-year-old we were anxious to get her into a school setting where her social skills could be developed and honed. From the moment we stepped through the doors of MPPS we were impressed. We were hoping to avoid any sort of 'daycare' facility where kids just play. She can't wait to go to
