CommuniKids Preschool Tenleytown

My son attended CommuniKids in Tenleytown for the 2021-22 academic year and we could not have had a better experience. The teachers and staff were caring, patient, and invested in my son’s development. My son’s social skills and language developed immensely over the year. We loved CommuniKids and look forward to sending our younger child when he is old enough.

Additionally CommuniKids was clear and consistent in carrying out their COVID protocols and adjusted them over time as response evolved. I appreciated the professionalism and dedication of the staff in regards to their COVID response and general teaching responsibilities.

We enrolled our son Gabriel in the preK 4 program in the fall of 2020. We were nervous but excited to be back in school in person. Our son's experience has been wonderful, from the communication of the teachers and staff, to the fun, nurturing environment Communikids provided. In our parent teacher conferences it was clear that his teachers cared about Gabriel as well as his success as a student. In the midst of such a challenging year, Communikids was such a wonderful gem.

My older child attended summer camp at communikids and this motivated me to enroll my younger child. They have their fingers on the pulse of the latest in early child pedagogy (appropriate, challenging, varied activities/ games/ toys) on top of being incredibly kind/ affectionate/ caring. My children have always wanted to come to communikids in the morning. Communication is also fabulous; weekly videos and newsletters, teachers willing to chat with little notice, etc. I have seen my children thrive in this caring but challenging environment. They also don't have the turnover of staff I've seen and heard about from other schools, or the issue that if you don't get teacher X, you're not in a good situation. Instead, they have consistently good teachers always, who stick around (kids needs dependable care givers)! I give them my highest recommendation.

We absolutely LOVED having our daughter at CommuniKids. The teachers are amazing. They are dedicated and smart. Our daughter loved going to class everyday and she learned great Spanish. The teachers and administration work hard to make sure parents are informed and involved. I can't recommend CommuniKids highly enough.

Our son attended Communikids Wash, DC location last year for PK3. We were thrilled with the administration, staff and teachers. This was our son's first school experience and we could not have asked for a better experience for him! His teachers were welcoming, understanding, patient and caring. He LOVED going to school and especially his teachers!! We were in awe with how quickly he picked up comprehending and speaking Spanish (he had never been exposed to the language prior). In addition to learning a second language, he left PK3 with the necessary academic and social skills he will need for PK4. Our son will continue to attend Communikids next year for PK4 and we tell everyone we can about it for their children as well!

We had a wonderful experience at Communikids and were incredibly lucky to get a public PK3 spot. Our son learned a LOT of Spanish, had warm and caring teachers, and enjoyed school. Both he and we wished there was a better facility with windows and more play space. I hope those things can be improved in the future, but the curriculum and teachers and admin were first-rate.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the teachers, administrators, and program at CommuniKids, and our son has been having a wonderful experience there. He's really taken to the language immersion program, and the teachers have been wonderful partners throughout the year on language skills, toilet training, social development, and pre-reading skills.

I've been especially impressed with how well CommuniKids blends the play-based curriculum with results-oriented learning and developmental progress. I've also appreciated the program's NAEYC accreditation and the staff's focus on current scholarship about early childhood education.

If the quality of the program and our great relationships with the teachers and staff weren't enough, CommuniKids is the only school in Ward 3 (public or private) that offers DC-funded preschool for three year olds through OSSE's Pre-K Enhancement and Expansion Funding Program.
