Kid's Community College® Preschool in Riverview is the best preschool around! KCC provides high-quality care giving and educational services tailored to the individual needs of each child at their center. Nationally accredited for over 9 years, KCC provides music and movement, computer technology, and Spanish lessons to all children enrolled at their center for no extra cost! Their low student to teacher ratio ensures all children receive quality care and one-on-one attention. KCC's 1st Degree Learning System prepares children academically to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond. With their growing success and extensive waiting list, KCC is expanding to open a new preschool in the Riverview area this Fall, August 2012. For more information about the school, please visit their website: www.kidscc.org. I highly recommend this school!

My child loves the teachers and owners at The Village. They care for every child that walks through their door and cares for the community as a whole. They provide bedtime for books, international day and other community activities for everyone in the community. Their motto "it takes a village to raise a child". I couldn't agree more.

The Village is by far the best around! It's like having an extended family! My children have always felt very loved by the caregivers and they learned so much academically while at the Village. Very compassionate, caring, and personable teachers, staff and owners. Love it there!

The Village! My daughter just started there and loves it. The teachers and staff are amazing - they love each and every child that they care for. We felt that the environment was the best for our daughter and that they were the most invested in her individual needs and development.

I nominate Kid's Community College. They have provided the skills my son needed to excel academically in primary school. We were so happy with his preschool experience that we enrolled him in the Kid's Community College Charter School for kindergarten last year. His teacher raved about how advanced he was academically, and we know it is because of the education he received at the Kid's Community College preschool. We believe in the Kid's Community College system so much we have enrolled our one-year-old daughter in the preschool, and our son will be continuing on to 1st grade at the charter school this Fall.
