"I offer my highest recommendation for Arbendette Van, the founder of PreK Preparatory Academy. Her dedication and innovative approach to early childhood education have resulted in truly exceptional student outcomes, making her a standout leader in her field. Ms. Van's commitment to holistic education is exemplified by her creation of the "Garden-to-Preschool" program. This initiative, which introduces young students to the principles of organic farming and clean eating, is more than just a curriculum; it is a foundational life lesson in health and sustainability. This creative program not only provides a unique learning experience but also demonstrates her forward-thinking vision for preparing children for a well-rounded life. What is most remarkable about Ms. Van's leadership is her success in nurturing every child to their full potential. The outcomes for students who were diagnosed with special learning or behavioral needs are particularly impressive. Through her tailored, compassionate, and effective methods, she has empowered these children to thrive and achieve milestones that might have seemed out of reach. Her ability to see the potential in every student and create an environment where they can succeed is a testament to her skill, patience, and profound dedication. Arbendette Van is a visionary leader and educator whose work has a tangible and positive impact on the lives of children and their families. She is an exceptional leader and an asset to the educational community. I recommend her without reservation for any opportunity that seeks a leader with a proven track record of innovation and extraordinary student results."

"It was such an honor to have served at Pre K Preparatory as the Kitchen Help. I love Arbendette passion and fire to giving the kids healthy options and a variety of food. She absolutely loves what she does and the kids. She is one of the few places that actually puts God first and teaches children about prayer before eating and sleeping. I am forever grateful for you and your facility that you put your blood and sweat into. My son attended as well since he was 1 yrs old - 3 and he is now turning 5. Till this day he still remembers his prayer, and his teachers.
Advice for anyone looking to work here, Working with kids is an art, and a talent, its not for everyone so before choosing to be a teacher/help, make sure you are ready to alter your attitude and have patience for others children. "

  • What a great recommendation, you are appreciated.

"I honestly couldn’t be happier with Ms. Arbendette and her daycare. We’ve been with her for over two years and anytime we have questions or concerns Ms. Arbendette drops what she’s doing to get us answers. She has dedicated herself to these children, families and this community. She goes above and beyond putting together special events throughout the school year; the summer months are filled with so many fun and exciting activities. I could not be happier with Pre K Preparatory Learning Academy Inc. as Ms. Arbendette has poured her heart into making this a well organized, HIGHLY TRUSTED and fun learning center!"

  • You are appreciated, your recommendation means so much to our center. It is a pleasure serving you and your child. Thank you.
