My daughter has been attending since Feb and she likes it. I thought it would be a difficult transition as this is her first daycare but all thanks to the teachers it was very smooth. She goes to infant care and all the teachers in there are very warm and caring. I would definitely recommend this daycare for infant care .
My son has been attending this daycare since August, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. He always comes home happy and excited to share what he did that day. I love their activities — they really give children space to express themselves and explore what they enjoy. Every day he learns something new and has fun doing it! The staff are absolutely wonderful — so friendly, caring, and patient. They truly treat the kids like their own, and many of them even have their own children in the same daycare, which makes the environment feel even more genuine and warm. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and growth-focused place for your child, this daycare is the perfect choice. I only wish I had found it sooner!💛
The Prep at Crystal Falls has truly been like a second home for my children since they were just 2 1/2 years old. From the moment we first walked through the doors, we knew we were leaving our kids in a place where they’d be cared for, nurtured, and supported every single day. Director Geri Espinoza goes above and beyond — her dedication, warmth, and genuine love for the children shows in everything she does. The staff has always provided a safe, welcoming, and loving environment that has helped my kids grow, learn, and feel completely at home. We are so grateful for all the amazing experiences, care, and support The Prep has given our family over the years. I couldn’t imagine a better place for my kids to spend their early childhood years. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place that truly treats your children like their own!

What is The PREP School of Crystal Falls?
The PREP School of Crystal Falls is a high-quality early childhood education center focused on nurturing the whole child with an emphasis on parent partnership. We combine play-based learning, social-emotional development, and early academics to prepare children for school and life.
What ages do you serve?
We serve children from 6 weeks through 5th grade. Our programs include early childhood classrooms, private kindergarten (at most locations), and our ZONE programs for school-age students, which offer afterschool care and full day summer camp.
What is your educational philosophy?
Our philosophy is rooted in emergent-style learning, where curriculum is informed by children’s interests, development, and curiosity. While we are not a play-based program, we offer structured curricula for every age group alongside meaningful opportunities for play, exploration, and hands-on learning.
Enrollment starts with an inquiry–whether on the phone, online, or in person, we are happy to chat! Once families decide The PREP is the right fit, we will send a quick link for registration paperwork and payment details to secure a spot.
Some programs and age groups may have a waitlist. We encourage families to inquire early to secure a spot by registering and paying the admissions and materials fee
Tuition varies by age group, schedule, and location. Please contact your local PREP School for current tuition information.
