Testimonials
Both of my daughters attended Neffs Preschool from their 4's class to their Pre K class, and have LOVED it from the first day! The teachers are wonderful! They accommodate all learning abilities to provide a successful learning environment for all students.
-J. Deutch
Neffs Preschool was the best decision to enroll my son there. The teachers are wonderful, every time I email the director I get a response back very quickly. Always there for any questions that I have, very professional and cares about their students. He always comes home and talks about all the phone activities he did for the day, he absolutely loves it there and I know he will miss his teachers when he graduates. I couldn't have picked a better preschool. My youngest son will be attending this year and I know he will love it as much as his brother does!

"Love Neffs Preschool. My son has learned so much over the past year. They do a wonderful variety of activities. Art and science projects. Outdoor play. Field trips. Even an art show! Love the teachers as well. Highly recommend."

Our daughter attended the PreK program. She is going to kindergarten knowing her alphabet and numbers up to 20. The teachers have been very encouraging and kind. I would not hesitate to send her there again, and this is the only area preschool I'd recommend.

Our daughter attends the PreK afternoon program at Neffs Preschool. The teachers have worked towards creating a positive tight knit community in their class. Having a positive educational experience was what we hoped for in a preschool. Because of this, my daughter has made many friends and speaks very kindly of all her classmates. She looks forward to going to school and learning everyday! The director and teachers have always been approachable and have addressed our questions or concerns in a timely manner. We love that the teachers give a quick recap of their day prior to pick up. This provides us with something to be able to specifically ask our child about. The classroom calendar is also a wonderful tool to discuss the topics they are learning in class. They have worked through the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and other themed skills. I’m excited to hear they are now beginning to count syllables, journal write and recognize sight words, which will help them succeed in Kindergarten. Their program offers many exciting opportunities that we have not seen in other schools. One of her favorites is the playroom is transformed into various play spaces based on the theme. We love how they can use what they are learning in their imaginative play! She also loves that she has a “special” or “encore” (as they call it at Schnecksville Elementary) like her older brother does. They have designated gym, library, chapel, show & tell and other special themed occasions to look forward to. She is most excited for her upcoming “pajama day” and lunch bunch. These opportunities make her excited for starting Kindergarten this fall! As parents we found the parent-teacher conference was very valuable to us. Her teacher was able to go over specifically how our daughter does within the classroom with academics and interaction with her peers. We found this was a great opportunity to get specific feedback to our child. The class field trip was also a highlight of her PreK experience. They were invited to a local working farm and participated in harvesting sweet potatoes! Thank you for a memorable experience, thus far!

"Our sons have attended the preschool program at Neffs UCC for the past 3 years. We are beyond pleased with the teachers and the program. The teachers are passionate about their work and do an amazing job creating young learners through engaging and exciting activities. Both of our boys have gained the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful in full day kindergarten. We thank the teachers and staff for creating a safe and positive experience where our children could grow and learn."

"There are so many great things about the Neffs UCC Preschool program, I barely know where to start. This is my daughters first year in the program and we both LOVE it. She writes her name; sings the cutest songs and she is even learning to read! All of the teachers are dedicated to their students social and academic development. I am impressed by the curriculum and creative lessons they teach to each class. My daughter is excited to attend school and she is always happy at the end of the day. My only regret is not signing her up sooner!"

"On Wednesday our daughter Raegan attended her first lunch bunch session with the preschool. Growing up in a house with two older sisters who pack lunch frequently, this was a HIGE deal for Raegan! If she said it once, she said a million times she was excited to be like big sisters! The night before she helped make her sandwich, picked out her snacks, and got her thermos filled up. She proudly walked into school holding her lunch box to show it off to everyone! When I picked her up after, she was bubbling with excitement. I heard how she sat at a table with “some new friends”, ate her lunch, and got to go outside and play. This is a great program to get children ready not only in being more independent eaters, but also to be excited to stay at school longer then her normal 2 1/2 hours. We will definitely be participating in more!" - Pam and Eric Minnich
"We absolutely love Neffs UCC Preschool! We struggled to find a school that was a good fit for our son and Neffs Preschool was the perfect fit! The teachers are wonderful, kind and caring. We can’t say enough good things! "

"My family and I moved to the area in the summer of 2017 and I found Neffs UCC Preschool to have available openings. My son started in the 3’s class. He was doing great, then had a hard time. The teachers and director stepped in immediately and boosted his confidence. He finished the 3’s class with an awesome year. Now in the 4’s class, he loves to go. He wakes up asking everyday if it’s a school day. All the staff at Neffs UCC are warm welcoming and a great group of individuals/staff to help teach your children. "

"I cannot express how much I am relieved and grateful for signing my son up at Neff’s UCC preschool. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They are so great with the children and you can definitely see the passion they have for the children and their jobs. While attending this preschool, I have seen the changes my son has developed, he tells me all the new things he has learned that day and he’s just so happy to go back and learn more just to come home and tell me how his day went and how much he loved it. I would definitely recommend other parents to consider sending their child/children to this preschool! "
