Our 2 children have gone to Ruby's Academy since they were infants, with one soon moving on to kindergarten. I can't adequately express how much I appreciate everyone at Ruby's care for our children at every stage. The wellbeing of my children is, by far, the most important aspect of my life and to be absolutely certain, as I am, that Ruby's is the right place for them is a huge deal.

My three year old has been at Ms Ruby’s for almost two months after two and a half years at a well rated school elsewhere. We have seen an immediate change in communication skills, manners, and an overall improvement in attitude. He has learned more songs and brought home more crafts than I have seen in 6 months at our previous school. The staff are all friendly and take the time to initiate conversation with myself and my son, even while cooking lunches or wrangling toddlers. They offer foreign language studies for all of the students, never leaving children left out of extra curricular activities

We have been at Ruby's for 2 years and I can't say enough good things about them. They truly love the children under their care and it shows everyday. They purposefully limit their class sizes so that each child gets a lot of individual attention. The staff is very stable, there has been almost zero turn over since we've been there. We have a child with some special needs and tried several preschools in the Mount Pleasant area, including some that were much more expensive than Ruby's. Without question Ruby's is the best place that we have been. I would not want my kids anywhere else.
