OUR REVIEWS
Olive Tree Day School was a huge blessing for our family. Our son began at OTDS when he was 2 and was a student there until he graduated preschool at 4 years old. Ms. Kelly and her staff are some of the most patient and loving people you’ll ever meet. It is an anxious time for any parent when you are deciding on schooling for your child, but Kelly put our minds at ease with her open heart and understanding.
Our son is now in kindergarten and excelling in both education and social settings because of OTDS. We are forever indebted to the school and their staff for all the wonderful things they did for our son. We will be sending our daughter to OTDS once she is of age. Thank you OTDS for all the wonderful memories and continued friendships.

Our daughter completed Preschool at OTDS with Ms. Kelly and we are so thankful for all that they have done for her. One of the biggest things we looked for when selecting a preschool was the curriculum. Ms. Kelly's program was amazing and had our daughter reading by the time she graduated. Our whole experience with OTDS has been exceptional and we feel truly blessed to have meet Ms. Kelly when we did. Our daughter loves Ms. Kelly and has made life-long friends while at OTDS as well. WE LOVE OTDS!

If you are looking everywhere and not finding even one place that seems like the right fit STOP your search. Olive Tree has been one of the best choices I have made for my 4YO daughter. Ms Kelly and Ms Mayra are both incredible teachers. Their passion, patience, and love for what they do shines through them. I am so blessed I got my daughter in, she was at another school that both my husband and I had a bad feeling about. I would leave her and feel anxious for the 4 hrs that she was there. At Olive Tree I feel at ease knowing it will be a hard transition for my daughter, but I know she is in great hands. I am pregnant with our second child and hoping Ms Kelly continues this school for when my little one turns 2.5yo!

We are so blessed to find Ms Kelly and this school for my twin boys. Ms Kelly is very kind to my boys and my boys look forward to seeing her everyday. We started twice a week and now we do 4 days a week. My boys always have fun with friends and says the teachers are nice. They come home singing songs from school and talks about Jesus even ay home. This to me is what's important they come home with sweet stories and we can tell that they really enjoy the program so much. As a new parent to preschoolers, Ms Kelly has always been supportive to us and is always ready to help and guide us. We also love all our teachers, they are all nice and loving to our kids!
Highly recommended school!

We cannot recommend Olive Tree Day School and Ms Kelly enough. My son started when he turned two and right away we could see all the wonderful foundations starting to set it. Olive Tree started my sons love for school, friendships and God. Being an only child, it was important for us to build our son's social skills. Olive Tree provided a loving environment that built his self-esteem, social skills, manners and the start to his academics. We wish he could attend this school forever!

We will miss you all. Love,Salvador family
We just celebrated our year anniversary of starting our twins at Olive Tree. It has been such a wonderful year filled with learning, growth and fun. Kelly and her staff are amazing and this little school is a great place to allow your kids to flourish and thrive. Do not hesitate to take a tour, speak to Kelly and get your littles enrolled. We could not be happier with our experience here.
Seymour Family
My son is enrolled at Olive Tree day school and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The dedicated teachers provide a nurturing environment where academic excellence is balanced with spiritual growth. My child feels valued and supported, and I appreciate the emphasis on character development and moral values. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, and the sense of community among students and families is truly uplifting. I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a faith based education for their child. We love Olive Tree!

Olive Tree is a hidden gem!!
As a mental health professional with extensive background in education and psychology, it was important for me to find a school that would meet my (somewhat picky) expectations. Without out a doubt Olive tree has done this. I searched and toured many pre-schools last year before touring Olive Tree, from the start Miss Kelly made my daughter feel invited and welcomed to explore her environment. My daughter was in the pre-K class and is completely ready for Kindergarten next month.
Social Emotional Learning is not just about what is being taught to our children but also how it is being taught. Olive Tree incorporates music, art, group team building, and outdoor activities such as gardening. Miss Kelly really runs an amazing program here and my family was beyond blessed to have found it.
Compared to other schools in the area that are equally priced, the amount of field trips and family activities they had was also a big plus that we enjoyed this past year. Miss Kelly organized two amazing field trips, one to a local farm and the other to Cable Airport, both were fantastic and very educational. My daughter still talks about milking her first cow.
Lastly, Olive Tree helped lay the groundwork for my daughter to continue to learn about Christ and what being a Christian is really about. I am not afraid to say my daughter came home reminding me to have patience, be kind and to PRAY (lol). The school does an amazing job of creating a GOD centered community and learning environment.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I am grateful we found this school for our son. The entire staff is caring, thoughtful, and dedicated to these children. I appreciate thatso much effort is taken in providing a safe and welcoming environment for our son to learn, play, socialize, and be grounded with good manners and beliefs. My son loves going to school and he often will tell me about his day whether it be an activity he did with his teacher or classmates, what new thing he learned, or how much fun he had playing with his friends. This type of positivity is exactly the type of thing that promotes a genuine interest in learning and growing. In my experience, you just can not get that type of care, education, and positive mindset for your child from a daycare and even other schools. I am lucky we could find a school that provides something more for our son. Thank you OTDS and your entire staff for taking such great care of the most important aspect of our lives -- our child. I encourage anyone looking for these things for their child to seriously consider OTDS.

We started at olive tree in the fall of 2023 and our only wish is that we would have found it sooner. Our children are age 3 and 1. Kelly and her teachers are so kind and welcoming every day we enter campus. Our children's days are enriched with academic learning, supporting our child to flourish spiritually, developing social skills, real life learning with a campus garden, and most importantly loving and caring for our children so well. If you are looking for a place for your children to grow and peace of mind, I can not recommend olive tree enough.
May Family
I cannot express how grateful my family is for finding Olive Tree Day School. We had a family member whose two children attended OTDS school when Ms. Kelly was based out of her home and they had nothing but amazing things to say. Seeing how much her school has grown shows the value and passion she has for her students. We enrolled my son in 2023 at 2 1/2 years old and it has absolutely been the best thing for him. His vocabulary increases at what seems to be weekly so we know the curriculum is perfect for his age. The entire staff is wonderful and they without a doubt adore each and every child. The toddler teacher, Ms. Myriam, is truly heaven sent. Our son always wants to go to school to be with his friends and Ms. Myriam. The love he has for school at such a young age is reassuring on my mama heart. We absolutely love Olive Tree Day School, and are extremely blessed. We will continue to be a part of this family for years to come. - Bowie Family
We LOVE Olive Tree Day School! It has been such a blessing for our 4yo son. Every day is an exciting adventure and our little guy has made the best friends. Plus he has learned so much. The smaller class sizes and connection between teachers and students is something we are so proud to be part of; we are extremely grateful to have found Ms. Kelly and OTDS and cannot wait to start pre-k in the fall! - McLaughlin Family
