"I first found out about the SWTS preschool through a recommendation made by my husband’s employer.  I’d never heard of it or the Stone family but decided to call their phone number and talk to Jerry myself and stop by for a tour.  The two biggest selling points for me were made clear immediately when I saw how much fun the kids were having and the excellent working relationships among the staff.  Being a family-run organization just was so “cool” in my opinion, and it was so obvious how much each member “loved” kids.  I would strongly recommend SWTS to other parents because it really prepares your 3, 4, or 5-year old for a kindergarten setting and gives them the basic foundations to put him/her a little bit ahead of the game academically when he/she starts kindergarten."
