Testimonies from some of our graduates' families

"I was highly satisfied with the experiences we had with Pinwheels Academy. Dr. Preciado was kind, knowledgeable, organized, structured, compassionate and skilled in her job. Her small class sizes, organization, and ability to time manage, and the structured class were beneficial to my son. My son was highly prepared for entering kindergarten and tested well prior to entering." --Rebecca L.

"Having four children, we have gone through multiple day care facilities, from an in home based day care to private schools. And Pinwheels Academy's program and curriculum are definitely the best. Dr. Preciado is very well educated and knows exactly what subjects to teach the young children to set up a good foundation for their learning abilities. She is very meticulous and takes time to teach each of her students. Overall our experiences with Dr. Preciado is exemplary. Dr. Preciado set a very strong foundation so our son will not have any coping issues when he starts Kindergarten this year. Dr. Preciado is the epitome of an ideal teacher. We highly recommend her. Any child that goes through her schooling will definitely flourish."--Lilette T.

"Dr. Preciado was able to develop a strong rapport with her students from day one because of her positive and enthusiastic personality. She is a teacher of great talent and dedication. She created a student-centered environment where the children were encouraged to explore and create. This safe and inviting environment fostered a real love of learning for my daughter." --Amanda C.

My son attended from January of 2015 through May of 2016. Dr. Preciado's teaching style and patience not only allowed my Pre-K child to learn, but to love and enjoy attending school on a day-to-day basis. My son made great educational progress and improved self esteem under her professional care. I also had multiple occasions to chaperone on her school's field trips to observe how she treats and teaches each student in her class. Her teaching method is not only effective, but serves as a great foundation for students in preparation for their next phase of education." --John L.

"I highly recommend Dr. Preciado. I have had the pleasure of working with her. Not only was she responsible for teaching her students, but she also became an expert with the curriculum. She is flexible and willing to go out of her way to meet her student needs." --Crystal P.
