Phenomenal Job with Students
Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem does a phenomenal job with their students. My child, who is about two to three years old, really loves being there. The staff are really intentional and they truly take time to take care of each kid, their needs socially, emotionally, and spiritually as well.

I've seen tremendous growth through my two-year-old son. He is excited to go to school, always talks about his teachers and friends, and he often is playing and sharing and engaging with the activities going on in the classroom. One of the things that I do love is that he would come home and he would often encourage us to pray, and he even would lead prayer as well, talking about God and talking about the way that God loves us and loves him. And we just appreciate that intentionality is happening within the classroom.

What I would tell parents who are interested in Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem is that your child will receive intentional and incredible care and support through their own development.

I love the fact that right when we open the doors to get into the school, we are greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. It really starts off the day and the morning for all of us to say, "We are in a good spot," and these kids will continue to grow and develop and be engaged with the teachers, with the staff, and with their friends.

I appreciate too that we get updates every day of videos and photos of the children's activities that show how much fun they're having throughout the day. So I encourage you to check out Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem. Watch your child grow and develop through the intentional care and support through the staff and the program.

Thriving Since He Started Attending
Our 3 year old is autistic, we searched and searched for a preschool that we could trust. He is non verbal so it’s especially hard to know if he’s getting the attention he needs/ having his needs met throughout the day. He screamed and cried the whole day at the other preschools we tried. He wasn’t happy or able to learn and it was heartbreaking. He absolutely LOVES Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem. He is beginning to talk, he’s thriving since he started attending school here.

The staff is amazing. It’s obvious they all love what they do. It’s clear they care for and love our son as if he was their own. They send pictures and are very responsive throughout the day communicating what’s going on while he’s there, which has been such a relief for his father and myself. They genuinely celebrate milestones met and little victories like when he says a new word. Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem has been such a blessing we are so incredibly grateful.

This Preschool is Amazing!
This preschool is amazing! We started taking our daughter here at 14 months and couldn’t be happier. With this being out first child we were nervous not knowing what to expect. We met with Brandon and immediately felt a sense of comfort and calm as he walked us through the center and told us about the program. Our daughter had a hard time transitioning to us leaving her there for the day (so did we) and Brandon and his entire staff were incredibly kind and supportive to all three of us as we worked through it. They send pictures and updates throughout the day (some of the ones they have sent us are actually some of our favorites of her). They work on skills and have a curriculum even for the littles which we love! Her learning has exploded being around the other kiddos. I can’t say enough good about Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem, Brandon, and all the teachers. You won’t regret bringing your littles here.

Progressing at a Rapid Rate
My two nieces go to preschool at Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem. I have seen the oldest one just grow in the Lord so much. We love that she is able to attend a Christian preschool. Her little sister is an infant and we see she is just progressing at a rapid rate. Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem is very crucial in their lives. We thank the teachers for their dedication to the growth and development of each of the children.

Wonderful Experiences with Teachers and Children
Our family has had a wonderful experience with Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem. Our four year-old absolutely loves going to school, and it has been such a blessing to watch him grow in so many ways. He has learned so much, gained confidence, and comes home excited to share what he has learned each day.

We would especially like to thank Brandon Lemon for the kindness, encouragement, and genuine care he shows to the children and their families. Every interaction we’ve had with Brandon has been positive, and it is clear that he truly cares about creating a loving, supportive, and faith-filled environment for every child.

The entire staff has been welcoming, compassionate, and professional. Our preschooler has had wonderful experiences with both the teachers and the other children, and we have always felt that he was in a safe, nurturing place where he could learn, grow, and feel valued.

We are sincerely grateful for the care, dedication, and Christian values that Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem provides. We highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a place where their child will be loved, encouraged, and given an excellent foundation for learning.

Definitely Recommend this Preschool!
My 15 month goes to Lion's Path Preschool™ Salem and we LOVE it there. My son absolutely loves his teacher Yose. All the teachers are wonderful and the director is amazing as well. They use an app called Procare that keeps you updated with what your kiddo is doing. You receive photos throughout the day which I absolutely love. Everyone is friendly. I definitely would recommend this preschool to anyone.
