When selecting a preschool for my children, I was adamant that it not be a center. With Wishing Tree, we’ve had nothing but a fantastic experience that has lived up to my expectations. I’ve witnessed my kids engaged in a safe and happy environment with plenty of options to satisfy all curiosities. The teacher to child ratio fosters independence, yet provides the one on one we all want for our children when they're in need. The kids are encouraged at their own level and interests. This child-led structured program prepared my daughter for the transitions she would face in kindergarten. Overall, I have nothing but raves for Wishing Tree Preschool and Miss Kelly. My kids adored her and always look(ed) forward to school. Five Stars all the way. -Dana, Cape Elizabeth
When we were looking for a preschool setting for our 3 year old we took
our time and interviewed several places. It was not until we met Kelly
and saw her beautiful space that we felt comfortable leaving our baby in
someone else's care. She instantly put my family at ease. She is
kind, consistent, and incredibly patient with the children she serves.
Kelly creates a beautiful, safe, environment that allowed our child to
thrive. We are so grateful for the time he spent at Wishing Tree. It
is with the highest respect and praise that I recommend Wishing Tree
Preschool. -Shelley, South Portland Our son went there for almost 3 years and we can not wait to have our youngest go. Not only did he learn what he needed to succeed in kindergarten as far as academics, he also knew what it was like to be a great friend and to take responsibility for his actions. We looked at quite a few preschools, but the flexibility with hours and days, the small setting and the healthy meals were a bonus, but since day one it was so much more than all that!! I can not say enough good things!! The communication was insurmountable! -Nicole, South Portland
Kelly you have a wonderful preschool and I am so glad both Judah and Bella were able to attend. You are amazing with children and if anyone asks about preschools The Wishing Tree is what I recommend. -Angela, South Portland
Today is Dela's first day of school. At his screening he was basically reading, knew all of his numbers, and had the vocab of at least an eight year old. I'd like to take all the credit but Wishing Tree Preschool gets a be up also. Quality preschool counts. Kelly has done an amazing job with her students. -Amy, Peaks Island
So thankful that Jack's full time job for the last 2 years was Resident Rocker at The Wishing Tree Preschool with Kelly. He is fully prepared for any challenge that he may encounter at Brown School. Thank you for your friendship, support, encouragement, and all round RAD-NESS! -Kate, South Portland
We are so thankful we found you, and that we know you and that Jeremiah was able to be in the beautiful space that you have created for the wee ones. We love you lots. -Katy, Scarborough
Dear Kelly, Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our lives these past couple of years. Emerson's first educational experience has been such a positive one at the Wishing Tree. I feel so lucky that you were his first teacher. We will never forget you. -Angeline, South Portland
