There are some places that leave a lasting mark on your heart, and for our family, Bottega is one of them.
I still remember the very first day we toured the school as if it were yesterday. My husband went in first to gather information and meet Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Carmen while my daughter and I waited in the car. Instead of asking us to schedule another visit or preparing a formal tour, they simply said, “Go get your daughter and bring her in. Let her see the school.”
That one simple gesture spoke volumes. We had toured several preschools before, but many felt staged and impersonal. Walking into Bottega felt completely different. It felt warm, genuine, calm, and welcoming from the very first moment.
My daughter was invited to join one of the classrooms while we talked, and it was love at first sight. She immediately felt comfortable, happy, and at home. In fact, when it was time to leave, she had tears in her eyes because she didn’t want to go. The moment we got into the car, I looked at my husband and said, “This is it. This is where she’s going.”
Choosing Bottega was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
Every morning, the teachers greeted each child by name with genuine smiles and so much love. They knew not only the children but also their families, and they created an environment where every child felt seen, valued, and safe. The communication with parents was always excellent, and you could truly feel how much they cared about every student.
My daughter attended Bottega through kindergarten, and now she’s getting ready to start fourth grade. Even today, she still talks about her teachers, her friends, and the lessons she learned there. Bottega gave her such a strong foundation—not just academically, but emotionally. They helped build her confidence, encouraged her curiosity, and nurtured her into the happy, kind, and confident little girl she became when she entered elementary school.
I recommend Bottega every chance I get—even to complete strangers who ask for preschool recommendations. And I’ve always told Ms. Sylvia the same thing: if Bottega ever opens an elementary or middle school, we’ll be the first family to enroll.
To Ms. Sylvia, Ms. Carmen, and the entire Bottega family, thank you for loving our daughter as if she were your own. Thank you for the incredible impact you’ve had on our family. It is something we’ll always be grateful for.
Without a doubt, this is a five-star school, and I wholeheartedly recommend Bottega to any family looking for a place where their child will be loved, encouraged, and truly flourish.
