We have had two kids attend Foundation Hill over the last 5 years.  I can't say enough positive things about the school and staff there.  They have been very flexible and accommodating with our schedule.  Both our kids really enjoy going there and are excited to go.  Again, we have had nothing but a very positive experience here and would highly recommend sending kids here.

I absolutely love this school. My son attended preschool here for 2 years and is now in 1st grade. My daughter has gone here since birth and is now in the preschool program. I was referred by a coworker of mine who sent her two daughters here, and I'm so glad she told me about it. I toured 7 different daycares, and sat-in multiple preschool classrooms to get a feel for their style before choosing Foundation Hill as the school for my two kiddos.

What I Love:
1) The vibe of the school is so friendly, creative, calm and loving. Enter and the walls and ceilings are covered in kids' art, photos. The rooms are colorful with multiple activities for kids to do at all ages. The preschool rooms are fantastic with a mix of individual Montessori and other group activities.

2) All the teachers-- in every room-- genuinely act like they love being teachers and love the kids they teach. It's so sweet, and my kids loved their teachers as a result. They have extremely low teacher turnover, which is rare from other schools we attended prior to here.

3) They have a good balance of being caring and nuturing, while also teaching important life skills like sharing, cleaning up, doing things for yourself, thinking through decisions, & conflict resolution. Plus, they learn about the World, different cultures, America, plants, animals, etc. You name it. Great preschool curriculum.

4) My son tested into kindergarten early because he was so prepared and ready to start elementary school. Foundation Hill helped with this early education.

5) Mr. Murli (the owner) is so thoughtful and fair.

6) It's safe. Secure passwords needed to enter the building. Strangers can't just come in and walk around.

I highly recommend this school for anyone in the area!

Two of our children attended Foundation Hill from 3 months until "graduating" to kindergarten. We were so impressed with the entire center and wonderful teachers. Each classroom had varied toys and as they got older, montessori supplies. The center has a wonderful indoor play space outside of the classroom (a rarity in centers) and good-sized classrooms.

Some of the highlights that stand out to me and made me as a parent so satisfied: high-quality education, an open environment for me as a parent to be involved including occasional invited parent activity times, a wonderful end of the school year program, a high level of awareness to allergy and food intolerances, good communication from both teachers and directors, twice-yearly conferences at the montessori preschool level.

To speak to the teaching, each of my children had great teachers who genuinely showed caring to my children and all the children in class. Both of my children were reading by the age of 5. Both had a strong base in math. They were both challenged and excelled due to the montessori style and their teachers. Both were ahead of expectations going into kindergarten.

We were so sad to "graduate" from Foundation Hill when our time was done. Check this wonderful school out, you and your child will love it here!

I have three boys (ages 6, 3, and less than 1) with varying degrees of energy and "little boy" in them who have all gone/going to FHMC. The teachers have been great at harvesting their energy into learning and playing. My oldest son was able to read, do addition and subtraction, and the start of multiplication before he started kindergarten and he had fun learning and was so proud of himself for his accomplishments. The staff members say hello to my kids, by name, when they see them (even if they are not in direct care of my child). My kids enjoy going to "school", genuinely feel loved and cared for by their teachers, and have fun learning and playing. The teachers give me regular updates on how my kids are behaving and what they are learning they are involved with my kids from drop off to pick up. FHMC has been a great place for our family.

I have had two boys who flourished at Foundation Hill. I have found the staff to be responsive and caring to all the children and respectful to other parents (I've been to all the special events!). The owners are very approachable and respond to comments and questions. Both my boys have gained a lot from this method of learning and their elementary school teachers have commented on how respectful they are.

Our son attended Foundation Hill for over two years when we lived in the area, and we had a very good experience during his time there. The staff does a great job allowing children to learn and grow at the pace they are comfortable at. They also challenge them at the right time to try something new or outside their comfort zone, without forcing them in to anything. We received regular feedback from the staff regarding our child's progress. We will definitely recommend Foundation Hill to any friends/family considering a safe, well-rounded childcare facility.

Both our son and daughter attended Foundation Hill from the time they were newborns until they "graduated" and went to elementary school.  Each of them loved it and we did too.  The teachers were all great and genuinely cared about each of the kids.  In fact, we still keep in touch with many of them and they regularly ask about how our kids are doing.  We also ended up really liking the Montessori program even though that was not one of the main reasons we chose the daycare to begin with.  Both of our kids were well ahead of other kids in their elementary school class which made the transition so much easier.  I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending Foundation Hill to any friend of family member that asked.

We miss Foundation Hill so much! Our 2 oldest children attended for 4 years.  The only reason we had to leave is because we moved and even then we still thought about making the commute just so they could continue there.  Our kids did so well there and were happy, safe and well cared for.  We are so thankful for Murli, Maggie and the staff and all they did to teach our children.  Our daughter was there through preschool and she was so well prepared for Kindergarten because of the teachers she had at Foundation Hill. We would absolutely recommend this childcare center, we have nothing but wonderful things to say!

We loved the Foundation Hill staff and all they taught and shared with our daughter, from infant to preschool. She thrived while learning in a creative, safe and encouraging environment, and as a mom, that gave me much happiness. Thank you Foundation Hill - I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for top notch child care.

Our son was at Foundation Hill for 2 years and absolutely loved it.  We have two older children and they ended up attending different preschools and I think Louis was the best prepared for grammar school coming out of Foundation Hill.  They are caring and knowledgeable and I highly recommend this preschool.

My daughter attended FHMC for 2 years before leaving for elementary school and really enjoyed her time at the school. My wife and I were also very happy with management of the school (Murli and Maggie). The teachers that were in our daughter's room were excellent and did a great job of integrating kids from 3 to 5 years of age into each class. My daughter felt cared for by her teachers and was sad when she left the school. As importantly, we were impressed how much her math and reading skills progressed over her time at FHMC and at the level of detail of the parent-teacher conferences. Highly recommended.

Our daughter attended Foundation Hill from when she was 3 months old all the way to the day she went off to Kindergarten.  I strongly feel she is doing so well at school because of Murli, Maggie and the lessons his staff has taught her over the years.  They have prepared her so well that we can't be happier.  The daily communication and the accessibility of everyone there made it extremely satisfying to have her enrolled at Foundation Hill.  My daughter is halfway through Kindergarten now and is thriving, all thanks to her years at FH.  To this day, we still keep in contact with the teachers who are still there and the ones that have moved on to other things.  I can't say enough about this place and highly recommend them.  Keep up the good work Murli!
