This place is phenomenal. They understand and have early childhood development down to a science. From a father of two young children I feel so happy that we were able to find a place like this. Both our children will be going through their school. They are hands down the best out there. Highly recommended!

The Iliad preschool was awesome I sent both my daughters here 4 years apart and language, Spanish, read to the children, and so much more. My son was very shy and introverted before he started here, and now he is very outgoing, makes friends easily and has learned so much. I can't say enough good things about this school and everyone who works here!

We found Iliad through a friend whose son attended preschool and loved their experience. The Iliad website provided all the information we needed before scheduling a tour for the Mommy and Me program. Eve responded quickly and was so welcoming when we visited the facility! We signed up right away and are so grateful that our first school experience was with Iliad. Our daughter had so much fun learning with her classmates and Miss Deanna. Not only did the kids make friends, but the parents made new connections, too! Beginning school in Mommy and Me was the best way to establish how important learning is to our family and was such a sweet way to spend time together. Our entire family is looking forward to the "big kid" class next year and continuing to introduce our child (and children when the baby is old enough for Mommy and Me!) to loving the process of learning and growing instead of emphasizing the end result.

Both my children have attended Iliad and we have just loved it! My youngest daughter and I also went to their Mommy and Me class and had a phenomenal experience! The staff here is kind and patient, the director Ms. Eve is an incredible woman. Her attention to details is super comforting and I have complete trust in this school.

I decided to take my daughter to the mommy&me class. A new topic was introduced via morning circle (reading&singing) followed by a craft, play at playground, snack time, sensory bins and so on. She learned so many interesting things. They are very personal and greet everyone by name. Small groups. It has just been a wonderful experience and enrichment. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to take her there❤️ Thank you Iliad!

Our family came to the Iliad Academy with two goals overall. First, we wanted our daughter to always feel safe/comfortable. Young children are so precious and cannot always advocate for themselves, so feeling safe was very important. Second, we were hoping to find a school with a very active and diverse curriculum that still also honors individual differences. We have found the Iliad Academy to excel at both! She's excited for school every day. We receive weekly notifications so as parents we can be active in our children's learning. The whole experience is very fulfilling.

I highly recommend Iliad Academy Preschool!! My son attended for 2 years after we moved from California to Arizona. They prepared him for kindergarten and taught him so much more. He loved going to school! The staff was always so kind and welcoming. Such a great school!!!

My daughter attended Iliad Academy for preschool and it was the best decision made. I saw progress the first month and the best part she enjoyed going to school. This academy follows good moral values. I highly recommend Iliad Academy. Staff is always friendly and you are frequently updated by staff about events going on and your child's progress.

I was so nervous about my youngest daughter going to preschool since she had never been in an environment like that before. I toured the school, and fell in love with how warm and welcome all the staff were. They made her feel welcome and she didn’t want to leave the tour. After picking her up the first day, she would not stop talking about how much she loved her school and her new friends! I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone!

The best way to judge this school is by the glow in my son's face as he talks about his teacher, Mrs. Halmrast. I was worried about how my introverted boy would do away from home - but Iliad quickly became a home away from home for him. We could not be happier with our choice in preschool or feel better prepared both socially and academically for kindergarten to start!

As a stay at home parent my son had never been in a daycare and we were nervous about preschool. Mrs Halmrast was AMAZING! I will forever be greatful that she was the first teacher my son had, and I hope she will be the teacher for my other 2 as well!

Both my son and daughter attended Iliad. Personally, we had a wonderful experience with both of our children. Eve was always a pleasure to see each morning, smiling, and greeting our children. She is well organized and her teachers follow her same structure. My children had Mrs. Nevarez and Mrs. Meyers. We loved both of these teachers and their amazing assistants. Not only did my kids get to go to school in an environment were they were loved and cared about, they also received some incredible learnings that helped to well prepare them for Kindergarten. Even when COVID-19 stopped our scholars from attending classes in person, Mrs. Meyers continued having ZOOM meetings that were fun, engaging, and exciting for all the kids to see their friends and interact. Thank you for all you’ve done, Iliad. I am so grateful for this preschool and would 100% recommend them to anyone.

I absolutely love the Iliad Academy and would recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool. The school is in a church that is always very clean and tidy. The teachers are phenomenal and have an awesome curriculum in place. They teach fine and gross motor skills, sign language, Spanish, read to the children, and so much more. My son was very shy and introverted before he started here, and now he is very outgoing, makes friends easily and has learned so much. I can't say enough good things about this school and everyone who works here!

We love the Iliad Academy! From the time we walk in and Ms. Eve says “Good Morning” to pick up time, we know our kids are in a loving and educational environment. Our daughter is in Pre-K and is doing so well! She has hearing loss and wears hearing aids in both ears which makes it difficult for her to always hear what’s going on. She went to a special school for kiddos with hearing loss prior to Iliad, so we had some fears that she would not be able to follow along as well in a traditional preschool. Well her teachers, Mrs. Shetler and Mrs. Cotten just go above and beyond for her every day to make sure she is hearing and learning her best! She comes home with new words in Spanish, singing songs and telling me all sorts of new things she has learned! Our son is in the Mommy and Me class and is learning how to be in a classroom setting and that school is fun! We are confident he is going to transition successfully into preschool next year with the things he has learned from Mrs. Deanna! I also like the community of the class and being able to get to know other Moms! Overall we have had the best experience and are so happy we chose Iliad Academy. We searched and searched for the right preschool for our kiddos and we feel so fortunate to have found this gem of a school!

Excellent education! My daughter has made so much progress in a few short months attending the Iliad Academy. I can hardly believe the improvements such as: the complex conversations we have, her fine motor skills in drawing/writing, and her attention span with reading and listening to a lesson. She loves to go to school. She enjoys learning and wants to learn more at home. The many social interactions she has with the other kids and making friends has been exactly what I wanted for her in preparing for kindergarten and the rest of her education career. Huge Thank you to her Teachers!

I started to become hopeless trying to find a great yet affordable school for my son, there aren't enough stars to truly rate this school and the staff Eve Cunningham is an extraordinary human she does what she does for these kids and it radiates through her warming personality. My son LOVES school and he's learned so much only attending twice a week, his teachers make him feel safe and welcome. My younger son and I attend mommy & me, which is taught by Mrs.Deanna, & she is so quirky and great w the little ones it's definitely a place my children look forward to going to and i feel comfortable leaving them there. Im so so so thankful I found the Iliad Academy.

This is such a great school! I am very particular in what I expect from a school, being a former educator myself, and this school has exceeded my expectations! Eve, the director, is amazing from how she knows each and every student and their families to how well she runs the school! I don’t know how she does it, but she has a gift! I only have experience with one teacher so far, Mrs. Nevarez, but I am sure all the teachers are wonderful. Mrs. Nevarez has also exceeded my expectations! She is amazing with the kids and provides a love of learning and a great environment for the kids! She is well organized and makes each child feel special! I love the teaching philosophy at this school and how they respond to the kids in a very caring way! The kids do a lot of hands on projects which I love! The kids are provided with many manipulatives in the classroom and are given lots of opportunities to explore with these manipulatives in a quality way! I am very happy!!

I always feel safe when my daughter is in their care, which wasn't always the case when she was in other facilities! I will miss the staff next year when she goes to the Odyssey! 🙂

Both of my children have attended The Iliad Academy Preschool and there has not been one time where we regretted it. Both children love going and always come home with so many things to tell me about their day! The teachers and staff have always made the students their highest priority and also are there to help answer and questions the parents have. I HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone looking for a place who will not only care for their children but also teach them so many things that are very useful come kindergarten and life! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!

My daughter attended The Iliad Academy last year and she absolutely loved it. She always came home excited to tell me about what she had done each day. The staff is filled with some the most kind and caring people I've had the chance to meet. My daughter was bit by a dog and had to have surgery in the middle of the school year. Eve Cunningham, the director, would email me after each doctor appointment to check and see how she was doing and her teachers let the other children make get well soon cards and mailed them to our house. They truly are amazing! This year I had the opportunity to work at The Iliad Academy and could not be happier to be apart of such a wonderful preschool!

Excellent preschool. Both of my kids have gone, and I couldn't be happier. The kids come first to everyone, and it shows. They have accommodating schedules, very fair prices, and the most amazing director. The teachers are incredible, and the curriculum is fun and the kids learn so much.

I have two of my children currently enrolled, and the oldest one, for both years of preschool at Iliad. Hands down, this school is fantastic! Eve, the director, is beyond kind and knowledgeable. The staff/teachers are just as excellent. They really do care about the well being of my children, and aid them exceptionally well in being educated, independent people. Love this school!

Having been a stay at home mom with my daughter from the moment she was born it was extremely hard for me to leave her in the care of anyone else. When we enrolled her in the Iliad I knew that it was going to be tough transition for both of us. Ms. Eve, Ms. Hernandez and Ms. Solis made everything so easy for all of us my daughter was running to class before she would remember to say bye to me... the first week! I would definitely recommend the Iliad to anyone looking for a preschool for their child. I cannot wait until my youngest is old enough to attend school there! Rest assured that your child will be well cared for and nurtured while learning!

We love The Iliad!! Eve is such a sweet and welcoming face to see each morning. My daughter had Mrs. Lang and Ms. H. She absolutely adored them and loved going to school everyday. They are wonderful teachers who taught my daughter so much socially, academically and emotionally. We are very grateful for the opportunity to attend The Iliad and had such a pleasant experience! We will miss them dearly.

This school is amazing! My daughter has learned so much. Mrs. Nevarez and Mrs. Baker are fabulous teachers. They are very patient and kind. My daughter had a hard time adjusting but they worked with us and now drop off time is a breeze. Everyone at Iliad is great. We are always greeted with a warm smile every day from The Director, Eve Cunningham. We are blessed to have such an awesome school with awesome staff right down the road.

Sophia loves going to school. As a parent it is so important to have your child love the environment they are placed in. We have been so lucky to have Ms. Lang for a teacher. I have seen Sophia blossom into such an amazing little person all because of the great staff at Iliad Academy. I tell everyone with small children, this is where you want your child to go to school.

I am so happy to have brought my daughter into the Iliad family. Every morning she looked forward to going to school. If she missed a day for being sick, she cried because she didn't get to go see everyone. The amount that Iliad helped my child grow is amazing. She has become more confident in herself because of the staff. I will miss seeing everyone in August when my daughter starts Kindergarten.

I can not say enough great things about the Iliad. We have been with the school since they first opened, and Eve and her staff are wonderful!! Both of my boys have developed so many friends and have thrived socially,emotionally and academically. My oldest son has asthma and severe food allergies and at times, required medication during school hours. Eve and Mrs. Solis showed genuine care for my son and his condition. I felt extremely confident leaving him in their care. I highly recommend this school!!!!!

We are always pleased with what they are learning and experiencing and we have been so blessed with wonderful teachers! We are always welcomed as if we are family. Eve is a delight and pleasure to have as the Director!!!! My third child will be going there in a year and we are looking forward to getting back to our Iliad family!!!
