"Anyone who does anything to help a child in their life is a hero to me." - Mr. Rogers
“My youngest looked at me and said, ‘Daddy, you need to smell the flowers and blow out the candles!’ I laughed, “It took me a second to realize he was telling me to take a deep breath and calm down!”
-Joe, Toddler Parent, 2019
“I like that Storybook [Village Preschool] works to routinize certain things; whenever my daughter washes her hands now, she sings a song called ‘Tops and Bottoms’ and doesn’t stop lathering the soap until the song is over.”
-Katie, Toddler Parent
"I myself am an elementary teacher of 14 years, and I can say that Nicole Monachello is definitely an asset to any learning community. Perhaps the most telling comment I could write about Ms. Monachello is that I feel so fortunate to entrust her with the educational foundation of my children."
-Jen, TK Parent
"Today is my daughters last day at Storybook Village as she is going off to kindergarten. Storybook Village has been our home for the last year and I wish she could stay here forever. It's such an amazing school for all littles. The teachers really nurture our babies with positivity. They always encourage the children to use their imagination, which allows for them to really trust themselves. They are the golden globe of preschools. I can't thank Nicole and her wonderful staff enough."

"How do I convey my love for this preschool? My daughter was 5 months old when she needed to start attending out-of-home care four days/wk. We toured numerous preschools and in-home daycares and could not find one we felt comfortable leaving our infant with. We then toured Storybook and we KNEW we had found the one. The meticulous effort that was put into tailoring a care plan specific to our family's needs was unmatched and the teacher-to-infant ratio was just where we needed it to be. Maybe most of all, we felt confident that she would be in an environment that was designed to stimulate her ever developing brain. Every single time we picked her up she was being tended to, played with or held by one of her primary teachers. She is now two years old and loves going to school. All of the rooms of Storybook Village are so intentionally crafted to promote open-ended play and imagination, it's truly magical. And I could not write a review without stating how amazing the teaching staff and school director are; they are true advocates for the children they care for. To anyone looking for exemplary care for your kiddo: this is the place. "
